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:

https://github.com/ahezard/twl_firm_patcher

and a guide to use it here https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-use-twl_firm_patcher.438703

Ahezard, Apache Thunder and Me all worked on it.

Well great job! But can you guys work on some kind of config emulation? So that it remembers cheats I selected?

 

[GuyInDogSuit]

If I were you just switch, Its much better imo

Yes, you must use Luma3DS 6.0, the dev one.

Yes and Luma3DS is a better, updated version of AuReiNAND.

To be honest, I don't even know what CFW I'm using. I haven't played it in a couple weeks because I screwed up and lost my Bravely Second save. Really pissed me off.

It says LumaCFW in your signature so?
Turn off your 3DS -> Hold Select and Turn on your 3DS
If it shows config options then your on Luma

NitroHax can't use a cheat.xml file that is 2.5MB or higher in size due to ram limits.

So if you provided your own XML and NitroHax crashes back to Home Menu, that's why. If it's too large, strip out games you don't use.

@ShinyMK can you add this to the tutorial too if not currently added?

This is neat, too bad I don't have any nds games to use with this :/

Wait for the rom loader, it will probably be compatible with this.

I imagine it will work with this if this gets implemented into the loader itself.

Is there any chance of a tool like this being created for 3DS games?

Would it be possible to unlock Slot-2 bonuses (GBA) on DS games anytime soon by putting save data of the GBA game or something?

No this isnt possible and wont be with Nitro, But there are possibilities of this working at some point in the future, There is a possibility of a cheat that gives you the bonus, Google around

no i heard they are working on getting DS games running natively in TWL_FIRM ,no emulator and that they are really close to having DS games run from SD on built in DS hardware TWL_FIRM
through luma CFW , same build version this runs through

Pushed the latest build of NitroHax:

https://github.com/ahezard/NitroHax/releases/tag/0.94.NTR

This build resolves the last outstanding card init issue. It will now wait and ask you to insert a cartridge if you boot with no cartridge inserted. It no longer matters when you insert the game. It will wait if it detects that you booted with no cartridge and will continue as normal if you booted with one already inserted.
