Welcome to Sharkive – your comprehensive Gateshark cheat code database designed for Luma3DS 9.1+ and Atmosphere 0.8.5+!

Overview

Sharkive serves as a community-driven database for cheat codes. While we strive to keep our database updated, many cheats are still unverified. Your contributions are invaluable!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I install cheats on my console? Does Sharkive have an app?

Sharkive does not have a standalone app. Currently, you must manually manage the cheat files.

How do I use these cheats?

Follow these steps to manage your cheats:

For 3DS via Luma:

  1. Download the cheat files you want to use from this repository. You can use this wiki page to explore what's available.
  2. Place each cheat file you wish to use at /luma/titles/<GAME_TITLE_ID_HERE>/cheats.txt. The name of the cheat file you downloaded will be your game's titleID.
  3. Launch your game and open the Rosalina menu (L + d-pad down + Select).
  4. Navigate to and select "Cheats".
  5. Press A on the cheats you wish to activate.

For Switch via Atmosphère:

  1. Download the cheat files you want to use from this repository. You can use this wiki page to explore what's available.
  2. Place each cheat file you wish to use at /atmosphere/contents/<GAME_TITLE_ID_HERE>/<build_id>.txt. The name of the cheat file you downloaded will be your game's build_id, and the titleID will be the name of the folder the file was in.
  3. Start the game associated with those cheats.
  4. Verify that your cheats are active. If not, ensure that atmosphere!dmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default is enabled in your Atmosphère settings.

Troubleshooting Cheats

If a cheat isn't working, consider the following:

  1. Ensure you are using the latest version of your system's custom firmware (CFW):
  2. Cheats are often version-specific. Verify that the cheats match the game version you are playing.
  3. If issues persist, please report them for further assistance.

Requesting New Cheats

Nobody currently on the FlagBrew team makes cheats. All entries in Sharkive come from user submissions. If you have working cheats for a game, please submit a pull request for inclusion in our database.

Compatibility with DS and GBA Games

Sharkive does not support DS or GBA games. DS games operate on a separate firmware, making them incompatible with Luma's Rosalina and the cheat engine. For DS cheats, consider using NitroHax.

Understanding Cheat Indicators

Some cheats have a star (*) next to their name in Rosalina, indicating they require a key combo. If the cheat name doesn’t specify the combo, you can decode the lines starting with DD000000 to find the necessary key combination. For assistance, use the bot on our Discord server in the #bot-channel with the .cheatkeys command.

Viewing Full Cheat Names

If cheat names are truncated, this is due to Luma's limitations, not Sharkive. For a semi-complete list of titles in our database, check out the wiki page.
