Nitrohax (homebrew Action Replay alternative) now working as a .CIA!

A free alternative to Action Replay cheating devices for Nintendo DS games, Nitrohax, has been released in CIA format to work on the Nintendo 3DS. Download below, and this video made by @Apache Thunder and recorded by @Sasori will show it off!



Also:

Don't forget, that you currently need dev Luma3DS 6.0 or newer CFW and patched TwlBg.cxi before you can use this. So if you get the fat init failed error you don't patched dev launcher yet. More on that here:

what causes this not to work on twl games
For a start, it runs in Nitro mode. While most TWL games are backwards compatible with NTR hardware, this is an unsupported hack, and might have issues.

Or maybe I'm just ignorant.

but it would be easier to edit nitro hax to get twl games to work then for them to make their own cheat app

Here's my Soul Silver cartridge. It works through Nitrohax, with cheats functioning as they should and even connecting to the fake WFC, but if I try to launch it normally, it blackscreens upon loading the save game. I'm using the newest release (0.95, though it still says 0.94 when I launch it), so I dunno what the problem is...

I'm having trouble getting dragon quest v: hand of the heavenly bride to work.

Nitrohax loads, the codes list loads, but as soon as I select the DQV in the code list, it brings up the codes, and then seems to hang indefinitely. Thoughts?

I just extracted this CIA with ctrtool and found a DS ROM file in it. If we can make DSiWare CIA's from DS ROM's, why can't we use this method for installing DS games instead of those flashcart forwarders?

Added to list of quotes for idiocy.
Because they expect to read from a cart and NOT an SD unlike Flipnote Studio?

Cool! But wait!! It was a time, where it was NOT in cia format? Does this means, that it was originally started as a 3dsx?

Test build of NitroHax I got together right before I went to bed. Hasn't been extensively tested yet. This version boots in TWL mode and switches into NTR mode just before booting the game. It worked on the two games I have.


This build no longer requires the dev launcher patch!

One thing i haven't tested is using large cheat code database. Does that work with this build? Since it's in twl mode it will have more ram to store the cheat codes. But doing so might cause cheats to break when the mode switch happens so you may still want to avoid using a xml larger then 2.5MB or so.

Worked for me, but I didn't test the large xml file
