I've done all the troubleshooting. For my issue, I don't think it's a problem with your codes. I just don't think Nitrohax supports codes that are as long as these. I could be wrong about that as I don't have any other codes that are 300+ lines long to test with tho.
Switching topic from troubleshooting tho, is it possible to make these codes for 3ds games too? I know AR codes can be loaded into 3ds games using Rosalina, and some 3ds games could really use the extra buttons from the n3ds especially to map touch screen controls. Like assigning the I and II item slots in OoT 3d to ZR and ZL or ZR + X and ZR + Y (MM 3d doesn't *really* need this as the major MM 3d mods already have this built in. Wouldn't hurt tho as some people may want to play with just this remapping and not any other mods), and assigning the aiming on the touch screen in Kid Icarus to the c stick (or gyro or both).

If anyone is looking for a wacky project to do for RTCom w/ TWPatcher, there's an obscure DS game called Tony Hawk's Motion that used a crappy GBA cartridge with a gyroscope in it. I haven't looked much into it myself but it might be an interesting challenge for the technically inclined to get this working with the 3DS Gyroscope. Patching out the Motion Pak detection shouldn't be too hard.
Is there a tutorial on how to create the codes? I have tried to understand the program but it makes no sense, lol
Thank you so much for helping me out once again.
I have a weird bug in Metroid Prime Hunter (Rev. 1 - USA), regardless of the version of the patch used (mine or any of yours; I attach the one I use below for you to try to reproduce - it uses A+Dpad down for gyro enabling + c-stick inverted):
If the gyro is activated, the camera will go crazy and spin around endlessly (or drift down), but only on a new 3DSXL!!
All is fine on my smol n3ds and I have done an exact clone of all the files from my smol to the XL (TWMenu folders are same)
So is the gyro feature not supposed to work on the XL for MPH or should something be changed on the patch code?
I doubt both guesses but I can confirm the gyro on my XL unit is fully functional in other games (RE Revelations for instance)
Thanks in advance for your help!
Fab, big fan of your work
PS: So, since yesterday, I went high and low to tackle my gyro issue in MPH. I disabled rehid and even deleted it all together, recalibrated gyro multiple times but the issue is still present.
If someone with a n3dsxl can reproduce based on the attached file or provide one that is known to work with gyro on xl consoles, I would be very grateful

I can confirm same behaviour on my side when the mod is activated, for the guardians behavior at least

So, I have been reading up on all of this and have gotten to this point. I have already corrected the cheat's checksum to my specific rom (with the Dpad patch). The cheat appears in the cheats list and activates as it should. However, when I finally get to use the C stick it still acts as if it were the Dpad. Pressing the L+R+DOWN thing only unbinds my C stick. Doing the combo again only rebinds the C stick to the Dpad. I literally am going insane trying to get this thing to work and just want some ideas on why the 360 cheat doesn't function as its supposed to. Btw phantom hourglass works flawlessly using this exact same method but I just can't seem to get spirit tracks to work.
I had this problem, and Shoco looked into it but was unable to fix it. Their best guess was that the gyro hardware in my European n3DS XL was a different revision from theirs. You can search for my posts on this thread for the test to ID the gyroscope and the attempted fix.
Will definitely try and look out for this.
This thing is driving me nuts and indeed , I now think it is hardware related.
Did you manage to fix it in your case?

Will have a look at this as well. Thanks

So i went ahead and tried everything from your posts in this thread:
the patch for MPH with your controls (switched sticks) and a different ID for gyro, the alternative gbarunner2 dll from the post above, any combinations of those things and my previous patch and dll---> nothing works, my gyro is still spinning like crazy in game.
But at least, I understand the cause and I guess there is no way to fix it , if I read the post above about non-working gyro correctly.
One last thing is that I tried the gyro_test.nds app and my results were exactly same as yours. So did you manage to get the gyro working on your n3dsxl for MPH and if yes, would you mind sharing here your usercheat.dat?

Turns out the solution was right under my nose. It appears that this updated folder had a functional Spirit Tracks C-Stick cheat than the one provided first provided by shoco which worked for me. I have nothing else to say but that I am grateful for you tech savy guys helping us out to play these classics again.
I've been having problems with lego batman 1. It just freezes on a black screen when launching. I tried everything that the troubleshooting section said, but nothing worked. Any advice?(from anyone)

I am also thinking it might be a region issue. I have a japanese new 3ds ll and it is region swapped. I am using a U.S copy of the game (dumped).
Done
I've fixed the issue. Also now you can't control Samus during cutscenes. Let's just hope I didn't break anything useful.
Sure, I'll add it to my list of unfinished projects
I can easily believe that the issue is in the size of the cheat codes. It's not a problem for `nds-bootstrap`, but may be for other programs or devices that implement the cheat engine functionality differently (as usual I am not familiar with any of that).
But you can easily check if your Nitrohax supports large cheats. Just take some valid cheat code, and pad it with a benign AR instruction that doesn't do anything useful. Or even simpler, copy/paste the same one-line cheat code multiple times. For example, this is a cheat code for infinite lives in SM64DS (USA v1.0): `020973EC 00000063`. It simply writes `0x63` (max number of lives, I presume) into the address `0x20973EC`, 60 (or 30) times per second. You can turn it into this (repeat the same line as many times as you need):
Code:
020973EC 00000063
020973EC 00000063
020973EC 00000063
...I have literally zero experience with 3DS outside of DS emulation, but presumably everything is possible if you have access to the code. You just need to find someone to do it.
I think there was a homebrew app that allowed you to remap the touchscreen to keys (Rehid), but I've never used it.
That one sounds like an interesting idea. Maybe I'll even look into it some day, although I'm quite bad with DS reverse engineering except for this trivial controls patching stuff.
There is one serious problem with gyroscopes though. There are several versions of them. From my knowledge, O3DS and N3DS should have different gyros, and both are different from the one in N3DSXL (at least for some people; maybe it depends on the region, I don't know). They all have different interfacing requirements to communicate with them. So one should not only know how to work with gyros, but also find a way to test the patch on multiple devices.
You can map ABXY to CStick with the remapper
By "create" you mean like I do these mods? Then there is none. You just do some reverse engineering here and there
Sadly, there is no fix. To implement the gyro functionality I simply copied gericom's (I think) code (the author of GBARunner2). But it works only with one type of gyros. I can't add support for others for two reasons. Firstly, I know very little about gyroscopes. Secondly, I have no console except N2DSXL (which has the "correct" gyro and is working absolutely fine currently) to test it. I guess the first part is at least solvable
Interesting. I remember I actually updated the mod in October (fixed a bug), but maybe I also broke something. I'll need to check it. Also it would be nice if someone else could test it. Anyway, I'm glad you eventually made it work.
All I can only say is that it looks like the usual problem described in the troubleshooting section. I.e. you didn't use TWPatcher, or you did but TwilightMenu replaces the patched TwlBg when you launch the game, etc. Something like that. It's the only thing I can think of. If nothing works, at least try some other my mods if you can, or check widescreen patches (they also require TWPatcher and won't work if something's wrong)
Here is the same cheat code except with the dpad support, but it should be the same as the old dpad cheatcode except for barrel rolls.
If you're playing on an emulator, I think you can use something like `autohotkey` to map keyboard buttons to the touchscreen of your emulator
Thank you so much! I'm always so appreciative of you handling all these requests for people for even these small odd games. You're doing the ds/3ds Community a huge favor ^w^
Now that I think of it, Crash of the Titans is another game that would benefit from the CPad patch.

I've tried it out and most games work...but for some odd reason super .Mario 64 ds doesn't? I've check and i have did everything correctly. Or unless I'm missing some steps for mario.
Check out the first clause in the troubleshooting section (about widescreen stuff). It can be that your other tested games simply don't have widescreen patches, and so TwilightMenu won't try to swap TwlBg for them. On the other hand, SM64DS certainly supports them, which causes your problem to appear. At least, that's the only thing I can think of
Somehow the C-stick doesn't work with the games I'm playing (KH 358/2 Days and SM64). I'm using the last TWL menu, bootstrap and twlpatcher.
EDIT: I had to enable the Camera cheat code. I thought it was enabled for default.

Do the Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks mods have custom button configurations to make the sword swing with B?
How do I get the best experience possible. I want B to slash, A to talk/open and roll, X and Y to do something. Maybe one of them can open the map. And the C-Pad to control movement. What can I do to achieve all of that? I tried combining this code with the D-Pad mod but X and Y don't do anything.
