I'm working on a non-destructive (won't crash when exiting Time Trial, etc) MKDS trainer. The problem I am having is that I can't find a good place to hook for in game cheats to be enabled. The closest I am able to get is being able to get an item upon pressing a key combo when you have been hit with a weapon (and rarely at random times that seem to hold no pattern). Basically I am holding off on releasing an updated version of it until I can find the right place to hook so the 'get item when key is pressed' codes will work all the time. And the new trainer is fit totally inside of the binaries as they are now so there is no need to rebuild them with extra space added at the end and the patches will be under the 16M threshold so it will be released as an IPS patch.

Cracker: have you ever come across instances that corrupt sound, but found a "works all" solution? I tried patching in a A7 delay by expanding the A7 binary by 12bytes, but it just wound up giving me a "cart removed" error... suggestions? tips?

FAST6191: interesting to note, but not really important, there is currently seems to be no way to preserve file orders with ndstool... too bad homebrew doesn't use nitro FAT at all, or such things would have been worked out long ago.
 
I can't say that I have had any corrupt sound issues. The ARM7 is a picky bitch that for some reason won't allow you to hook into it like you can with the ARM9. It is driving me mad since it would be SO easy to train most of the hard games that I have come across recently since they _always_ have a touchscreen function that is very easy to find. The only alternative when it comes to games where no other method can be found is to be destructive and overwrite code (hoping that no ill effects -- at least bad ones will occur). If you find a workaround for it let me know and I will do likewise. I am trying to find other methods to finding good places to hook into the ARM9 so I won't have to deal with the ARM7 but so far the most reliable ones are the key hacks (0x4000130). Unfortunately, not many games have them out in the open since they are compressed. The uncompressed routines can be dumped via emulators but emulation is pretty poor still so it's hit and miss as to whether the game can progress far enough to get a good dump with the routines you need being decompressed into memory.
 
Im telling you Bleep. I hit both at the exact same time and time dose not stop. And when I use the water can, it still decreases. I still dont have the best water can yet. Only holds 150. That might be the problem.
 
Is it just me, or should this be a sticky... since it'll be very handy...and maybe frequently update the list on the front page, so all cracks/patches are there (instead of looking through each 10(and soon to be 10+) pages.


nice work man!
 
Problem with the WarioWare one.
The Infinite Lives one is useless because you can never end the game and keep your score.
If you press Quit, you are just taken back to the main menu.
 
Amazing. Seriously, I can't thank you enough for some of these.
A Contact trainer would be appreciated though

The Custom Robo + 2 trainer doesnt seem to work. Game freezes as soon as I go into Story Mode. Wifi works fine. I also noticed that while I got new parts that I didnt have before, I seem to be missing some I dd have. Like the Shotgun. And the Robin body.
 
can i please have one made for age of empires age of kings for infinite gold and food (20,000 is gold as well)and one for Y strategy for infinite gold, lumber and food.

Here's a small one, I'll do more if I have time.

Age of Empires - The Age of Kings

Unlock all Missions
Infinite Empire Points
Infinite Gold
Infinite Grain

(Updated!)


Updated info on Harves Moon DS Trainer

Infinite Cash - Works. Buy 1 thing and you have max gold.
Infinite Medals - Works. Buy 1 medal and you have max medals/
Infinite Stamina - Works
Infinite Item in Hand - Works (read not2 1)
Infinite Fodder in Hand Works (read note 1)
Infinite Items in Rucksack Works (read not 2)
Infinite Watering Can - dose not work
Quick Tool Level Gain - did not test
Pause Time [Select+R] - dose not work
Resume Time [Select+L] dose not work

Note 1. Sometimes using items or tossing items on the ground such as rocks, grass, and such will cause one of your item slots to have no item but say there are 9 of that item.

Not 2. If you get cluttered with blanks slots. Double taping the empty box will reduce the item by one. So this clears the blank item slots.
I tested the watering can and it works, when used it should display 200 and as I mentioned earlier, when using the time activators make sure you press the buttons at exactly the same time else it won't work. L and R represent the shoulder buttons.


God bless you!

Thanks so much for granting my request, now i can beat that stupid mission.

my ewin 2 cant load the resident evil patched rom, it has white screens but the unpatched one works fine, any help?

I'm not sure why some patching software can't handle the resized/reassembled game. I know it works fine with the m3 patched and with the EZV unpatched. Unfortunately, I can't do anything to correct the problem. I have tried versions of ndstool to rebuild it but it has the same end result. If anyone can figure out why the patching software doesn't like some resassembled games please let me know.
