I have the new 3DS XL with the c stick that has the latest 9.5 firmware and I was wondering if the sky3DS can be used to downgrade to a lower firmware. Or are the sky3DS people so dumb that they did not implement a option to downgrade?


PS. if the sky3ds can be used to downgrade than I will use the gateway 3ds to hack the rest of the console.

Why would that make sky3ds developers dumb?

Sky3ds fakes a real cartridge and I would like you to show us which game is able able to downgrade a 3DS.

Can't downgrade with the Sky3DS because it doesn't have Kernel access (even if it did it wouldn't work on 9.5 since there's no public Kernel exploit on 9.5). The Sky3DS works by emulating a real 3DS cartridge.

uh this is not the PSvita the 3ds can't use hacked games to get access to anything. And sky3ds is dumb because if something like the region free option were to ever disapear than people can't downgrade and can't use gateway to get full access to the console.

PS: Am I speaking alien or something?

Okay so after looking at the 3dbrew website I found out that the 9.5.0-X firmware is exploitable on the new 3ds. The exploit was found by some one named Yellows8.

PS. I have not read the forum/website rules so I don't know if its okay to post links.

He probably was speaking about emunand support(when gw update will be released) because 9.5.0 new 3ds uses a new encryption

I believe Yellows8 discovered how to decrypt Key X on firmware 9.5, but the firmware itself is not actually exploitable (yet).

Not alien but just pain out stupid.

You are speaking 100% stupid.

The sky3ds was made for playing games and nothing else. It does its job.
The gateway was made for playing games and using some hombrew. It does its job. It was not meant for downgrading any 3ds.
That was something that was found out and turn out that it work and you could downgrade 9.0 firmware to a lower ver like 4.5

So everything you said makes you seem very stupid since you know nothing.

Just so I'm clear because I thought the complete opposite would be possible, that makes me stupid?


PS: mods can close this down any time now, I got what I was looking for.

in a way yes.
You fuss about something not working when you were miss inform on what it does. Then you called the company who made it dumb.

Thats like buying a blu ray player and calling the makers dumb because it doesnt play vhs tapes.

Is there anyway to downgrade the new 3ds 9.5 without gateway 3ds?

There is one way and that is to return it to the store or sell it and get a new one. Downgrading is impossible for the time being and won't be available until a new exploit is found for 9.5, and when/if that time comes, you won't need to downgrade.

    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!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves

    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

    It does that when I edit a post.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
