Hacking DeadSkullzJr's NDS(i) Cheat Databases

[DeadSkullzJr]

Hi,

Is there really no way to view the code description if I'm using a DSTWO flashcart ?

Yes unfortunately, however it is possible for someone to make something for the DSTWO for that since the SDK is publicly available.

Is it possible to read the description for the cheats in order on R4cce? when using the flashcart i notice most of the text descriptors are out of place, meaning i can't understand what the cheat actually is or what it is meant to do. Also, does the text error mean the cheat will not work as intended? I'm relatively new to R4 so please excuse my plain ignorance.

The cheat descriptions and what not don't work right on your R4 because of the clunky R4 kernel you are using, all time bomb flashcarts have this issue sadly. You should use this kernel instead:

Thanks, I will give it a go when i have free time. I've noticed these issues don't appear on the flashcart if i split the cheat into multiple different cheats using different parts of the code each. Seems like some sort of overload in the kernel.

Finished installing YS Menu, can easily say that it does the cheats and describes them soooo much better. Instant nostalgia after seeing the layout of the menu, and worked completely fine with my flash cart. This way i don't have to edit your cheats, Thanks twice over mate!

You need to hit or tap "Start", Options, then Hit L or R (or even tap the arrows) to the next option menus until you see a "Cheats(AR)" option, set that to "On".

Here's a few codes that are missing: The shiny lock removal codes for Pokémon B/W/B2/W2!

94000130 FFFE0000
1XXXXXXX 000046C0
D2000000 00000000

Replace XXXXXXX, depending of your version, by :
White Fr & US : 2018790
White Jap. : 2018874
White 2 Jap. : 201D78C

Black Fr & US : 2018774
Black Jap. : 2018858
Black 2 Jap. : 201D760

Credits to BIBOU261 on pastebin for these. There is no version for the international B2W2 games, but that can probably easily be ported over(? I don't know anything about AR codes, tbh)

EDIT: 201D7A4 for B2 and 201D7D0 for W2. Works for both EU and US versions.

I'm not sure why, but every cheat library works on my r4i gold 3ds plus EXCEPT for Pokemon Platinum United States. I have turned AR cheats on in settings. When I press x to bring up the menu of cheats for Platinum, nothing happens. Has anybody else experienced this issue? I am using the newest database.

That's because your platinum dump is probably a bad dump, I have zero support for bad dumps, you will need to find a proper dump. I cannot provide links to it however I will provide information about the proper dump, this can be used to determine if the next dump you find is proper or not.

Dump Info:
File: Pokemon - Platinum Version (USA).nds

Both of these dumps above are proper/valid dumps and will work with the databases.

The dump you are probably using:

https://datomatic.no-intro.org/?page=show_record&s=28&n=3541
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you wish to find out if the dump you have is proper or not, simply right click the ROM and look for a "CRC SHA" option. Hover over that and you should see some options pop up, click the * symbol, wait for it to display the information. All you have to do from there is compare the info I provided to the ROM dump you have. If it doesn't match either of the provided two dumps I listed then it's a bad dump. Good luck!

Thanks, I will add these in! I might actually remove the button activator codes though because the purpose of this code indicates that it should be on at all times. Removing shiny locks is pretty cool to have on without having to hold a button.

Got it working for every version. The button activator was not necessary at all, all it did was request that you press A which we already do by default when playing any game.

Hey man, really appreciate you and your continued support for this. Years after the DS has been overshadowed, people like you are still putting in work. Thank you very much!

I think you meant Wood R4 v1.25 which is a pretty old version. As for cheats not showing up it's because your ROM is a bad dump. My databases will never support bad dumps, you will need to find a proper dump of the game or find a patch to fix the bad dump.

Hey again everyone, I have been working hard on the cheat databases as usual, however I spread my wings a little more and decided to make Codebreaker DS codes alongside Action Replay. Before I go any further, some of you are probably thinking "wait Codebreaker existed for the Nintendo DS? Huh", yes indeed the Codebreaker existed for the DS. It works just the same way as Action Replay codes just different in terms of code handling and what not. I have been tinkering around with my Codebreaker DS and testing codes I made recently and managed to get them working. Now don't expect these cheats to work on flashcarts as Action Replay is the only format flashcarts support currently, however I will release a database just for Codebreaker DS codes for the sake of those who still has their older devices and would like to play with them again, not only that but they work with No$GBA as well. Don't expect it to be out by the next update that's coming though, I barely got two games finished for Codebreaker lol. I do plan on doing more and releasing it in the future, for now though Action Replay is all you guys will be seeing for a little while. That's all the news I have for now though, I hope you all have a wonderful evening!

Hi guys. Most of my games and codes work fine, except for Golden Sun Dark Dawn. Sometimes, game will freeze when I use psynergy. Also for the max stats code, stats reset to normal after battle? Anyone know of any fixes or what I can do? Any help appreciated [emoji4]

The DSTWO has a broken cheat code handler, unfortunately not all codes work on it or work properly at times. Not much can be done except buying a flashcart that has a better code handler like Wood R4.
