Heh, I told you guys AGB_FIRM had sig checks. I've messed with this for a while and while it's accurate it's a bit of a pain to work with. Plus no Pokemanz, because it legitimately doesn't have 128KB save support at all, so Fire Red will fail to save and Emerald and Ruby will white screen. Mother 3 works though, I'm about halfway through that one.

So if there's 3 known save values, there's none for 128KB saves? (I guess there might not need to be since the ambassador games didn't include that)...
Time to port over my "Chipsune!" tracker!

The value is there, and it somewhat emulates it, but it never writes the save. So it's basically useless.

Very nice, was able to build Superstar Saga into CIA and works great. If only my paint skills were up to par. Very cool.

So far I've gotten Mother 3, Golden Sun/2, and Rhythm Heaven Silver working. I'm kinda surprised it handles Golden Sun. The only notable game I've had issues with is Payback, which complains it can't access the EEPROM on a glitchy screen.

About New3DS support: I don't own one and I can't make patch without XORpads, since N3DS using additional encryption layer on ARM9 FIRM section. More information here: http://3dbrew.org/wiki/FIRM#New_3DS_FIRM

So is the issue that without one you can't get it to work?
Is that due to simply not being able to do the process or tools not existing?

If by some miracle it was the former, plenty of users (myself included) could try to assist. AGB_FIRM isn't necessary to boot anyway, so bricking seems unlikely.

By the way, you plan on patching sig checks for TWL_FIRM? I would like to modify region flag and other things for some DSiWare, but TWL_FIRM has sig checks believe it or not. So I'm limited with what I can do with it. :(

Though unlike AGB_FIRM, TWL_FIRM is kinda important outside of CFW as it's used most often to boot DS flashcarts to install MSET rop. But I'm sure some users can't get by without working TWL_FIRM at initial boot as I am on 9.2 and have web browser as my primary entry point. Something to think about at least.

Can you try one more time? 1.1b ver.
I'm actually still getting the error. I have parental controls on only to restrict 3D (because I broke my 3D slider and it's the only way to turn it off).
I'm guessing I get it because of that, though it still seems like a bug
