Hacking  Thread 'DeadSkullzJr's NDS(i) Cheat Databases'

Nov 7, 2017

Hello guys and gals, as some of you may know, and for those unaware, the Nintendo DS has had many cheat databases in the past circulating all over the place, at one point even GBAtemp had a dedicated, now defunct, cheat section of their own that hosted the latest and official cheat databases at that moment in time. Unfortunately the way these cheat databases were handled back then presented too many problems that never received proper solutions. The level of quality just wasn't there like it was supposed to be, the issues ranged from poor structural management of the supported titles...

I want to do a comparison between the official emulators included in the Atari Greatest Hits series (for Atari 2600) and Intellivision Lives! (for Intellivision) between the homebrew emulators StellaDS and Nintellivision to see who's more accurate. I know Sonic Classic Collection uses a modified version of jEnesisDS.

For now, I need to focus on getting Intellivision Lives! on Nintendo DS. I own the GameCube version.

Since Rayman DS is based on the Nintendo 64 release of Rayman 2: The Great Escape, it runs at a low framerate and the control scheme suffers for it.

For the former, I know you could run DS games at the DSi clock speed. Would that boost performance with the game? I'm not going to risk trying that, since I'm playing it right now. I just wanted to ask.

v27.23.0: St. Patrick's Day Release
Includes nds-bootstrap v2.15.0 (GBATemp thread)

Add-on update​

• Virtual Console: Updated NitroGrafx.

What's new?​

• Added support for reading DSiWare `banner.sav` files (named as `romname.bnr`) from the current save path.
• Moved `snemul.cfg` to the Virtual Console add-on.
• @PW5190: Add ESRB ratings for:
  • Atari Greatest Hits (both volumes)
  • Intellivision Lives!
  • Retro Atari Classics
• Various: Updated translations.
• Changed `R4i3D 2012+` to `R4i3D NEW, 2012 or later` in the flashcard autoboot readme.

Bug fixes​

• The DS Classic Menu now reads the custom BG from where TWLMenu++ runs instead of always from the DSi/3DS SD card when detected.
• Fixed issues with launching the DSpico flashcard.

Another update out so soon? Damn! You should call this a St. Patrick's Day release!

Is it possible to convert dsiware .pub save to .sav save to play on ds lite? renaming .pub to .sav does't work

Edit : Launch Slot-1 Card breaks on v27.23.0, reverting to v27.22.2 fix the issue

As there is no tool do to so, you'll need to send the save file to me in order to convert it.

Edit : Launch Slot-1 Card breaks on v27.23.0, reverting to v27.22.2 fix the issue

Which Slot-1 card did you try? Also, which console are you using?

If there's any tutorial to convert them, maybe hex editor, i'm willing to learn about it.
Here's my attached save

the card is R4i-SDHC/DSTTi DEMON-HW Carts (AKA Timebomb Carts) r4isdhc.com 2014+, r4i-sdhc.com
The console is New 3DS XL

What happened was :
0. Updated both 3DS and Flashcard version to the latest version
1. Open console TWiLight Menu++
2. Press Select and Launch Slot-1 Card
3. The bottom screen goes black

Reverting both back to 27.22.2 i can Launch Slot-1 Card normally again

This should hopefully be fixed in the next version.

Thank you Robz!

Hi, If I'm using DSi TWLmenu and autobooting to Flashcard TWLmenu, Can I use overclock (TWL CPU) on games loaded with the Kernel or Pico loader or it's only for nds-bootstrap?

It can be used with both Kernel and nds-bootstrap. I have not tried Pico Loader yet.

That likely means the Moonshell version that's on your 3DS does not match the version that's on your DSi.

i tried transferring the version from my DSI and it wouldn't boot, i'm guessing the best bet would be to install from scratch?
if so what version should I use?

Use v2.10

In my opinion, Moonshell isn't ideal for playing videos on 3DS. They'll just play using the DS's resolution of 256x192. If you want high-quality video playback on the 3DS, you should get a homebrew app that can play videos using the 3DS's native resolution of 400x240.
