    In my experience, the best way to cheat in Pokemon is using save editors rather than codes. For hacked 3DS, PKSM is the way to go. For hacked DSi, Pokemon Chest. Both are about the same thing: a combination of Pokemon Bank without needing to connect to the internet, moving pokes between generations, and a savegame editor that can create and edit Pokemon as well as some other stuff in your save. PKSM is the better app since it supports generations 1-7 on 3DS, but Chest runs on a DSi and handles generations 3-5.

    You can find out how to install CFW here and get PKSM here. The guide will also have you install Checkpoint which can backup 3DS and DS save files. Cartridges will always show up in the top left corner in Checkpoint though you sometimes have to wait like 20 seconds before they appear for some reason. The save files it backs up go in /3ds/Checkpoint on your SD. If you want to use PkHex to export your Pokemon to files so you can trade them with someone via a chat app, backup, extract what you want to trade, get other ones in exchange, and import them. Then put the save file back and restore it with Checkpoint.

    1. Load the game and save first. Doesn’t work without a save file. 2. get ahold of your Title ID by going to FBI → Titles → take a picture of your relevant Title ID for the game you need. 3. in PKSM, go to settings (hit X) and go to Misc → Title ID’s 4. input your title ID for your specific game from step 1 5. Once you’ve inputted the number and hit ok, you can just keep hitting B. You’ll see the game on the VC list and access it like the other games.

    In case you’re wondering how to homebrew, here’s the guide. When you’ve homebrewed, you can scan the QR code at this link with your 3DS from the ‘FBI’ app (a file manager you’ll install as part of the homebrew process) and it’ll install the program!

  • can I swap a fully jailbroken 3ds sd card to a non jailbroken 3ds

    CONTINUE HERE IF YOU ARE TRANSFERRING OR CLONING - Use this link https://github.com/ihaveamac/faketik/releases/tag/v1.1.2 and download the .3dsx file. Put it on the target systems sd in the '3ds' folder on the root. This is because any homebrew applications or backups of your own games won't appear on home menu. This app makes them reappear. Remove the target system sd and put it back in target console. - Turn on console and open 'Download Play'. - Once on the selection screen for 3DS or DS, press 'Left Shoulder' + 'D-Pad Down' + 'Select' at the same time to open Rosalina menu - Select 'Miscellaneous Options' - Select 'Switch the hb. title to the current app' then 'B' to continue. Continue to press 'B' until you exist Rosalina menu - Press 'Home' to exit download play then press 'X' to close it fully - Re-open 'Download Play' and you should boot into 'Homebrew Launcher' instead - Open faketik and it will automatically restore any homebrew applications and backups from games you own to the home menu - Press 'Home' or 'B' to exit back to 'Homebrew Launcher' -Press 'Home' to return to the 3ds menu and all the will be restored. They will be in alphabetical order and not how they were organised on source console. Re-sort them and you are complete

    Now, as for one possible solution, you can download faketik (here), also, download the .3dsx, as you probably won't get the program to appear if you install it as a .cia, drop it on wherever your other .3dsx files are (like "3ds").
