Hacking Why Sky3DS gets 002-0123 even with a private header.

Osmosis · Apr 21, 2015

Okay... start with a fresh template0418.txt file. Don't forget to DL the Setting.ini file and replace it if you are using Diskwriter v2.02b1.

Now go DL a copy of Super Mario Bros 2. Or make a copy of the one you already have.

Open up ROM-Patcher.

Open your SMB2.3ds ROM in ROM-Patcher.

Put your Private Header in and leave everything else alone.

APPLY CHANGES

Now EXPORT HEADER.

Save the header as "macronix_C2.bin".

Close ROM-Patcher.

Open NO BAN NO SKY.

Find your fresh template and double-click it.

Find your macronix_C2.bin file and double-click it.

Click PATCH ALL GAMES IN TEMPLATE.

Now you have added ONLY the Private Header to all of your games that use Macronix (C2) Chip ID.

Here is an example of what we are doing:

Then to apply individually, repeat process to make a header.bin file for specific Chip IDs only this time don't apply to all but select the .3DS file you're going to use and convert it.

Don't use the copy you made to export the header. You want a blank DL .3DS ROM. If you are using a DUMPed ROM with Private Headers you are risking it not working. This method is for DLed .3ds ROMs only.

You should ONLY be making changes to the template.txt file. Leave the ROMs alone. The only time you want to duplicate the ROMs is for savedata.

HOWEVER, doing this means you will lose you savedata because now the 3DS thinks it's a new game cart and the savedata from the 3DS won't match with the new private headers.

So you will have to start Pokemon all over again. Sorry...

Just an update on this for everyone. I believe Pokemon X is broken in the Sky3DS template as Pokemon Y works fine online!

And some people believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny... I prefer to buy Coke-Cola and Cadbury Eggs. Doesn't mean I believe in them.

Check your template file. Check your Private Headers. Match PH to Chip IDs in template.

The only thing I can think of is that Nintendo registers user IDs and headers. If they find Users and Headers being duplicated, then you get flagged. But I don't see why they would go that far...

What Pokemon game shouldn't matter. The template file is what matters. The Sky3DS uses the template to mask the ROMs. So no need to patch the ROMs. Make sure you are using a region specific ROM. Try to avoid MULTI versions.

Im not on my windows partition so I cant check the Chip ID with SAK (Is this the best way to do this btw) Put i swear my pokemon are usa and have different manufactures. I got my headers from Tomodichi (AE) Splinter Cell (45) New super mario bros 2 (C2). Should I run into problems with chip id or eeprom or whatever? Thanks.

Sadly, SAK requires that you have a .3DZ or .BIN file of the header. Most Sky3DS users do not have these because we can't dump our ROMs. And even if you DL a ROM and simply change .3DS to .3DZ, that's not accurate.

We're not trying to edit the ROM. We're trying to edit the TemplateXXXX.txt file -ONLY-. The only time you want to copy or edit the ROM is for savedata purposes.

When you make savedata using your Sky3DS (cycling past your game) it takes the ROM file and injects the savedata to it. It doesn't put the savedata into the templateXXXX.txt file.

However, if you change the templateXXXX.txt file (to inject private headers) it will now think it is a new game and will write new savedata or give you the infamous "corrupt savedata" because the header doesn't match the 3DS SD savedata file.

This is why RESERVE is going to be useful. It won't break the savedata for games like Pokemon, but you won't have to have it in your 31 games list all the time.

Do backup the Pokemon GAME and SAVEDATA before deleting. If you make any changes to the template even after backing up, again, it thinks it's a new game cart...

I already have .bins of all my headers so I just confirm with SAK. Then use No sky No ban for all my roms.. Just make sure to match the cart id in the template to the one in SAK

Forgive me, but I think you've misunderstood what I said. I clearly indicated that I believe the TEMPLATE (by default) for Pokemon X is broken/incorrect.

How is it broken? You can't get online? You keep getting 002-0123? Have you used a private header? Still giving you 002-0123? Then the private header doesn't match Chip ID in template.

Try a fresh template.

Still not working?

Try a different header. Make sure it's a C2 (Macronix Header). Don't touch anything in the template file but the first line of FF by replacing it with your PH. Try again.

Yes, I use a private header. What I am saying is why would the chip maker etc be different than Pokemon Y? The template for the two games looks literally identical. And yes, I'm getting 002-0123 with it.

Where did your private header come from? What game? Do you know what region? Where did you get your ROM? Is it a DUMP or a DL? What template are you using?

Pokemon X is CTR-P-EKJA

Open up the template you're using in NOTEPAD. FIND EKJA. Copy N paste the Chip ID line. Should be the same as I posted above. But do it anyways. If it's not the same, make it the same. Just edit it in NOTEPAD to:

hello to all, i got only a street fighter game (CTR-ASSP), then this is my only PH, this have 45 to manufacturer, i use with some games (tekken and mario kart 7) and shows me the 002-0123 error, if i use other PH with C2 or AE this works? knows someone where arte the cheapest games have C2 or AE? thanks to all

No matter which game you pick up you have no guarantee that you'll get a chip made by a specific manufacturer, all cartridges are different. Just edit the template accordingly "until it works" leaving the ROM size byte alone.

i say to get other Private header not other chip id

then change 45-AE-C2 (the second not) 00-02 and 90-98 right?

If I understand you correctly then yes, those are the correct ranges. If you're confused about this, grab SAK.

ok, now try and say if this works

RahFah · May 2, 2015

I dump my Lego Star Wars III game and get the game ID and chip ID.
I use No Ban no Sky to add the game id into all the games. But in some games I still received the 002-0123 error.

My Lego Star Wars card has "CE FE 00 90" chip and, so the games with others chip id manufactures wont work.

To solve this, I just need to change the manufactures ID on the header of those games to the manufacture of my extracted header (in this case, changed to "CE" )

Exemple: Super Smash Bros (version 1.0) has the chip id "AE F8 81 90". I just need to change the first digit "AE" to "CE", and add my private game id.
Now works fine.

I play Bravery second and try to online ,but always error 002-0123.
What cart ID for this game ?

Deleted member 473940 · Jun 13, 2015

I have the correct manufacturer and tried 3 different personal headers, still get error with every game apart from Pokemon X/Y/ORAS.

What could possibly be wrong?

After you save the template with the new headers on your computer, you have to reopen the template in Diskwriter to kind of "refresh" it with the new template information. Even if you close it and open it, reopen it anyway. After you write the games to your SD card, remember to scroll through all of your games to refresh the Sky3DS itself with the new info. Also remember that if you change your header correctly, your save data will be deleted and you can't recover it because of different headers.

Hi guys, I am writing again.
I can't get my MK7 to work online. Every time I get 002-0123 error.
I am playing with Europe New 3DS XL and Sk3ds. I have private header from Animal Crossing New Leaf. Someone please write me step by step guide what to do to get rid of that error. I have tried everything but I think I am doing something wrong.

help! i have a couple of questions:

1. would a private key from an AE cart only work on AE ROMs?
2. since I extracted my private key using powersave, and I changed a ROM to AE manufacturer and it worked online, does that mean my real cart is AE?

Hacking Why Sky3DS gets 002-0123 even with a private header.
