So, um, leik OMG hi

This is my first post to the forum, so I'll introduce myself. I'm Chishm and I like to hack the DS. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I can present to you...
Nitro Hax

This is a homebrew Action Replay DS clone. The first release is version 0.1. It should be able to run any ARDS code, with one small exception. Since I wrote the cheat engine from scratch, any code that modifies the ARDS cheat engine won't work.

There are 3 added codes that don't exist on the ARDS:
C100000000 00000000 - this is the cheat list terminator. It is added to the end of the cheat list after it is loaded, so you don't need to worry about it.
C200000000 xxxxxxxx - relocates the cheat engine to xxxxxxxx.
C300000000 xxxxxxxx - changes the hook address to xxxxxxxx. The hook can be any address that is loaded then branched to. For example, you could hook the third word in:


Codes are loaded from the file "/cheats.cht" on the root of your flash card. All libfat supported cards should work. All codes are loaded; this is version 0.1 after all. The codes should be in a format similar to:

The layout doesn't matter, the data values should be 8 nibbles long. Anything that isn't interpretable as hexadecimal is ignored.

If you find any codes that don't work, and don't rely on specific quirks of the ARDS, mention them here so that I can try to fix them.

Thanks go to:
kenobi - that AR code doc saved me heaps of time
Parasyte - thanks to you, hooking couldn't be simpler
bLAStY - provided the dumps I needed
cReDiAr - gave me the last missing piece required to boot a DS game
Everyone else who helped me along the way

Big thanks to Datel, for creating the original ARDS and the code DB to go with it.

Latest version is always here.

Not really needed, I have the real one already.

Good job, chishm.

it really is useful for people like me without ar and with gbamp/flashcard i had to use dipstar so far. Great job (like all your other projects)

Dipstar... yech.

Put it on the root of your CF or SD card, as in don't put it in any folder.

You are not supposed to. The / is a directory reference. '/cheats.cht' means create a file named 'cheats.cht' in the directory '/' (AKA, the root directory)

Will it work on a ds-x?

it should with the correct DLDI patch:

O.k. thank you all.

I wish someone would make custom ARDS firmware with custom code types.

_________________

Why?? ARDS has some of the best code types I've seen.

_________________

Just more variety.

_________________

I can add a few custom codes. I still have free the codes C?xxxxxx xxxxxx where ? > 3. If it's really needed, I could overload some of the Dx code types too.

Thanks.

I might need this when I get a flash card.

According to the readme this does not work with roms. Only original game carts. All of you wouldbe pirates are SOL. It is cool to be able to use a flashcart to cheat if you do not want to buy the AR hardware though. Very awesome!

i cant get it to work, im a total newb.

please help.

i am trying to get this program to work on castlevania portrait of ruin.

i enter in the infinite health and mp code.

which i got from here.

https://us.codejunkies.com/codes_show.as ... 26049&p=17

this is what i put in my .cht file.

Infinite Health
d3000000 0211216e
f211216c 00000002
d2000000 00000000
Infinite MP
d3000000 02112172
f2112170 00000002
d2000000 00000000

when i load it up, it makes my hp and mp 0...... so i die in 1 hit and cant use any magic.

am i entering something in wrong? please help.

great system btw i can get money codes to work but i cant seem to get any health or magic codes to work, for example on avatar the last airbender the game wont even start with infinite hp codes on but the money code runs fine.

Either you need to use the "Max" codes also, or there is a bug in chishm's code engine. Try this first:

There was a bug in my code engine. It's okay, I fixed it now. Get version 0.2 and try it out.

The bug was with type F codes, and it caused it to write garbage values for the last few bytes (normally ended up as 0). Let me know if you have any other problems.

Version 0.2 also allows you to select which file to load, and even supports multiple files. Now you can put separate cheats in different files and load only the ones you want to use.

thanks the infinite hp and mp codes work now, but the quick lvl code does not work oh well, does not matter much, but i cant still cant load infinite hp codes on avatar the last airbender all i get is white screen, but when i load a cht file with only the money code it works fine.

Infinite Health
d3000000 021c7798
f21c7794 00000002
d2000000 00000000

its alright though with the infinite money i can buy all the food items i need.

Do you plan on supporting roms at all? I had planned on starting a project like this but a little different. I was going to make an AR clone that would load the roms from my cart. By the way, nice project

@kickenchicken57: unless he completely changed since the gbamp hack there is no way he will support roms.

Excellent program, and Welcome to Kodewerx.

Nice job man! Any chance it will be able to use game linking in the future like DipStar?

Don'tcha just love it when somebody on a prominent piracy site posts news about your app, and then you get flamed for phrases taken out of context?
I mean, they didn't even post it there but somebody misconstrues it and you get the flame.

Gotta love the DS piracy scene.

So how does it run on the DS? Or is this for emulation? I didn't download it yet but it sounds intersting..

_________________

You run it off a flashcart. It doesn't work for emulation.
It's basically a homemade AR DS of sorts.

Which I guess is fine for me

...Mainly because I actually own the MKDS game card.
......but ROM support would be nice.



(I actually misinterpreted Chishm; and I though his program would be working for ROMs, which is what my project was. But now that I know its not for ROMs, the phailure can continue, )
