I'd like to know, is there any way to implement cheat codes onto GBA games on a homebrewed 3DS?

Thank you in advance

Yes, but I was wondering if there was a way to implement cheats without having to transfer roms back and forth between my computer and my 3DS

For example, you can use cheat codes for NDS roms in Twilight menu, and in other GBA emulators I've used, you can put in cheat codes from things like Action Replay and Gameshark. I was wondering if the 3DS could do something similar.

I've heard of something called NitroHax for NDS, but I don't know how it works, as I do not use it.

Add cheats into the PC version of mGBA then export them to a cheat file. Rename the file to the same name as the ROM and then put the .cheats file into the same directory as the ROM on the 3DS. I also put the cheats file into the 3DS's mGBA folder under a new subfolder called cheats but I'm not sure if that part is needed.

    @_Ruri_, I like laptops in small formfactors, still got an Asus and Toshiba laptop that I use for testing stuff out.

    Don't use laptops too much tbh, especially small laptops, iPads completely obliterated them in everything tbh

    The last laptop I ever used was a Lenovo (not a ThinkPad), storage got full quite quickly because it was limited to 32GB lol.

    It ran Windows 10 which was before I moved to Linux.

    Mine too was a Lenovo, it was 512gb though so memory was ok
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    It still runs Win10 but I'm planning to use it as a media server.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I never use Win10 or Win11 because of the risks associated, I'm a lot more fond of the customization and ease of use when using Linux.
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    I'm on Win11 IoT Enterprise LTSC, it gets security updates for 10 years and you can disable a lot of telemetry and other stuff with groups policies
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Don't use Linux because a lot of games I play aren't fully supported on Linux and making them run it's kind of a pain
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I can remember what PC's I've used over the years. (2011-2013) - Medion PC with Windows 7, (2014-2017) - HP Compaq DC7100 with Windows XP Pro SP3, (2017-2021) - Lenovo IdeaPad 120S-11IAP.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @_Ruri_, Only play games on old consoles that I have or via emulation. Not too much of a new games fanboy.
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    I used the netbook (HP Mini something) from like 2009 to 2010, a Sony Vaio from 2010 to like 2015 then got an Asus laptop with 4gb ram and 1tb memory which I kept until 2020 when I upgraded to the Lenovo which I used until October 2023 when I built my first PC.

    @SylverReZ, Hm yeah I understand, Linux can work if you don't play new games, I still do though so it's not super practical for me. I have a spare SSD though, I could experiment with stuff in the future
