The *CycloDS Evolution* is a cartridge for the NDS which adds homebrew capabilities. You can then run various homebrewed
titles from a miniSDHC card on the NDS. You can even play [backups of your own games]({% post_url 2009-03-23-dump-games %})
and thus take them all with you in a single cartridge.
Cheats Database
===============
The CycloDS Evo supports ActionReplay(tm) compatible cheat codes. The *Evolution Tools* (downloadable on their [Support page](http://www.cyclopsds.com/cgi-bin/cyclods/engine.pl?page=support))
supports downloading cheats from [codejunkies.com](http://codejunkies.com). After the processing is done, you get a
~600 KiB `user.evoCheats` file.
According to the [forums](http://www.teamcyclops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1580), `codejunkies.com` is missing several
cheats for newer games, so you might want to download the database from [gbatemp.net](http://cheats.gbatemp.net/) which
is ~1,7 MiB. There's even a direct link to the latest version of the file:
* <http://cheats.gbatemp.net/latest/user.evoCHEATS.zip>
You might also want to trim your `default.evoCheats` file down to 0 Bytes and make it read-only so that only the newer
cheats database is used.
