There appears to be problems with cheats that don't use a menu. I will try to look for a solution. The cheats with menus should work.

The other guide's video doesn't work, so I made this text guide.

What is NTR CFW?

It's a CFW (idk if it is really) for o3DS and n3DS that is installed as a CIA. It lets you

  • use cheats in games without gateway
  • use real time save (experimental)
  • backup/restore saves (JKSV is better)
  • run mods/patches of games without needing to patch the romfs file
  • streaming to a pc without a capture card (only new3ds)
  • take screenshots
  • region free
  • other plugin support
  • real time debugger
  • other stuff
Who can run it?

If you have Luma3DS or CakesFW or some other CFW (works with A9LH) you can run it. You might be able to run it without a CFW but I haven't tried it.

How to install/run

Go here, download the latest zip and the cia slightly above that. Copy ntr.bin and the cia to the root of your sd card. Install the cia. Open it from your home menu and let it run. When it says it was successful exit with the home button. You can open the menu by press x+y. You have to reopen it every time you reboot.

If this does not work due to firmware issues, try https://github.com/Shadowtrance/BootNTR/releases

How to use cheats in games

Make a folder in the root of your sd card called plugin. Find a cheat for your game from

After downloading, copy the folder with the id of your game to plugin. You can check the id with FBI to be sure. If there is only a cheat.plg, make a folder for your game (the title of the folder should be the game id) and put the plg in there.

Put your sd card back in your 3DS, load NTR, and open a game. Press x+y and go down to game plugin. Your cheats should be there.

NTR CFW works on both o3ds and n3ds - however, the two most recent previews are n3ds only (streaming stuff).

Otherwise use the Shadowtrance builds of bootntr: https://github.com/Shadowtrance/BootNTR/releases

Oh, i thought it was like made for new 3DS only, but that's the only excluvise feature right? And, does it matter if i'm in the latest version? 11.0.33? also, is that Shadowtrance stuff the same? thanks :)

Answering your questions in stack order:
1. Shadowtrance just updated it to work on the newest FW
2. It works on the latest version as long as you are using luma3ds with the proper firmware.bin
3. Only exclusive feature is streaming, correct

Now i get it, thank you so much for your help, :D sorry for bothering but, luma3ds is a cfw right? same as rxtools? if that's the case (i use rxtools & O3DS) can i still use it? or at least try to? Thanks again!

Luma3ds is a cfw, correct. NTR should work with rxTools.

Just a head's up, NTR refused to work (firmware was not supported) for me even with the correct firmware.bin until I changed some of the Luma settings that I had forgotten to update when I went from ARN to Luma. It was probably SysNAND is updated, but I'm not entirely sure.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
