Hacking First 7.1 firmware needing game is out...

[masterzero]

Does anyone know if yoshi's new island works on our current flashcards ? ( I can't format my sd yet) or it has the same protection as youtube/pokebank and we're screwed big time ? ( not for this game but for all future games XD)



Edit by a Moderator:

Yoshi's New Island works fine with 3DS Flashcarts.
Only issue you might encounter is the language set to Japanese if you are using EmuNAND 7.x with Gateway 3DS 2.0b1.
Read this information to understand which version of the flashcart you can use yo play Yoshi's new island:


Flashcard Compatibility Notes For Yoshis.New.Island.EUR.3DS-CONTRAST:

Loads the game with the correct language:
Gateway 2.0b1 + NO emuNAND.
Gateway 2.0b2 + NO emuNAND. (Not recommended)
Gateway 2.0b1 + EmuNAND 4.x - 6.x
Gateway 2.0b2 + EmuNAND 4.x - 7.x (Not recommended)
MT-Card 1.1 + NO EmuNAND
MT-Card 1.1 + EmuNAND 4.x - 7.x

Loads the game but with incorrect language:
Gateway 2.0b1 + EmuNAND 7.x.x

Not Working at all:
Gateway 1.2 = Gives a 'Game Card was removed' error message.
MT-Card 1.0

R4i 3DS Firmwares and their corresponding Gateway firmware version
Gateway 1.2 = R4i Gold 3DS Deluxe 2.0 and 3.3b
Gateway 2.0b1 = R4i Gold 3DS Deluxe 3.0 and 3.3
Gateway 2.0b2 = R4i Gold 3DS Deluxe 3.1 and 3.2 (Not recommended)

Note: 'Gateway 2.0b2' and 'R4i Gold 3DS Deluxe 3.1 and 3.2' firmwares
are unstable and can brick your 3DS. It is recommended to not use these Firmwares.

How to fix incorrect language (e.g Game playing in Japanese)
- Don't use EmuNAND (Make a backup your 3DS SD card and use 'Panasonic SD formatter'
to re-format your SD Card, then copy your backup back onto the SD card.)

- Downgrade your EmuNAND to 4.x - 6.x version using 'EmuNAND Tool'
to write one of your old EmuNAND backups back to your EmuNAND SD Card.
(This requires you to have previously backed up your 6.x.x EmuNAND)

- Format a new EmuNAND, this will reset your EmuNAND version back to 4.5.0,
but you will lose access to the eshop and other things that need 7.x.x firmware.
(Make sure you backup your 3DS SD card before formatting a new EmuNAND!)

- Use GW 2.0b2 Firmware (Not recommended)


Thanks to mattrunks for the cleaner and full explanation.

It probably won't work as of yet but hopefully Gateway releases the update sooner than soon.

 

[masterzero]

What update ? there's no solution for this new keys as of now. The keys can only be provided by having the real nand on 7.1+

But maybe the games don't have the protection yet

 

[b17bomber]

So is it confirmed that it uses the 7 sdk? Does this mean the retail card won't work on emunand either?

It's not nintendo's first big game but hopefully its better than the DS one.

This might be a stupid question, but how has it been dumped when it isn't supposed to come out until the 14th? Did they just get it early?

They are workers at video game stores.

Don't lie him, its the video game mafia working with inside members of nintendo.

 

[CJL18]

i meant to say its nintendos first big game this year on 3ds

 

[masterzero]

but isn't it just a remake of old yoshi island?

I would test but I can't seem to find a download link anywhere.

Game working fine

 

[Vengenceonu]

According to the NFO it works on 7.1.16 emunand.

Does it work without emunand?

 

[Pong20302000]

Does it work without emunand?

requires EmuNAND

also BTW to Gateway Users
using 2.0b1 will result in game loading in Japanese
2.0b2 (dangerous bricking frimware) and MT 1.1 (safe firmware) it works fine on

 

[redkeyboard]

Does it work without emunand?

probably. So far emunand hasn't been required for compatibility.
