[Question] What debugger should I use to make cheats?

[SirEnder125]

Hello. I tried downloading GHIDRA debugger, though, it came as a
source code. I have no idea how to compile it. Any helpful suggestions?

I built it (I think) but now I don't know how to use it....
@RedShyGuy do you know how to use it?
Also, it DOES have a UI.

[RedShyGuy]

Ha maybe there came a new version I didn't see lol. Sadly i don't know how to use it as I use IDA. But I can check it out tomorrow!

[SirEnder125]

Oh, well look at the replies to this:

I have heard of something called "gdb", some kind of debugger... I can't use it though.

[RedShyGuy]

Of course ghidra itself is not a debugger lol, I never said that. But it has a gdb debugger.

[SirEnder125]

Oh, ok. Sorry, I was confused. 🤣

[SirEnder125]

Have you tried it?

[SirEnder125]

Ok, I guess I'll try to figure it out myself.
Not going to be easy...

[SirEnder125]

Is there for real only 1 debugger that will work?

[SirEnder125]

Thank you very much! You've been a huge help. :D

[SirEnder125]

By the way, by what means did you learn ASM? I want to learn some ASM
and test with it.

[RedShyGuy]

I just looked up all the stuff I actually need, I dont know very much about asm. Only really important stuff😅

[SirEnder125]

Ok, got it... I wouldn't know what keywords to search but that isn't my greatest problem.
I need a debugger!! :/

[SirEnder125]

I found a link that talks a bit about GBA rom debugging with Ghidra, but the installation
steps fail every time...

[SirEnder125]

Okay, after watching a tutorial, I finally got Ghidra running. If anyone could help with
3ds debugging, that'd be great. 😉

[RedShyGuy]

Oof :/

[SirEnder125]

I have tried connecting with arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe but the same thing happens. Is it my console that causes this?

EDIT: I tried it on my second 2DS and the same thing happens. :/

[SirEnder125]

Hey, I have a question:
What was the best cheat you've made without a debugger?
(Or what can I make with only GDB as a debugger)

[RedShyGuy]

Save Edit Cheats! You don't need any debugger for save edits as they are easy to find

[SirEnder125]

Oh, okay. Thanks.
