Hello,

So I have a blue button Sky3ds and I'm using it on a New 3DS XL on the latest firmware. I noticed that none of the roms that show eeprom=yes in diskwriter won't work on my system. It says that the game card has been removed. I have tried it with A Link Between Worlds, Yoshi's New Island, and Kirby Triple Deluxe, all giving me the same error.

When I try Pokémon X, which has an eeprom=no, it plays just fine.

Any ideas on what my issue is?

Thanks

Damn, sometimes I'm ashamed of being French. Fucking retard.

Well, I don't own a Sky3DS and I don't remember reading something about that kind of problem.
That's why I think you may have a faulty card.

I think that there is a workaround: Card1 games are Eeprom and Card2 games are Nand.

If you use this tool: http://www.jheberg.net/captcha/card-1-to-2/
To convert your games, every games will become Nand type and I think that you wan't have troubles with those anymore.

Otherwise, I'm not sure about that solution, it may change to much things in the file and maybe it wouldn't work using Sky3DS. (I know that the tool was used by some GW users)
I would give a try, it doesn't cost that much.

Anyways , there are 2 options or your SD is not working right on Sky3DS* or as Ekaitz said this is a type problem , convert the game , back when i used Sky3DS i had problems with NAND games also , but it never prevented it from booting , only a few saving problems , good luck on this one because Sky3DS as i said has HUGE problems , this is due to the way that Sky3DS loads games , to make it simple : Sky3DS does not load the roms per say but rather emulates games tricking the 3ds that it's an actual cartridge thus making some types less compatible than others

*It doesn't seem to be your SD since you can boot Pokemon X appearently
*Watch out because some games in japan have found a way to prevent Sky3DS from loading them.

Good Luck.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
