I was having issues because I didnt re-load the template after changing. Which is why I got a little frustrated lol.

Also, even though some of the games run now with Macronix as manufacturer, using a different header and macronix as the manufacturer gave me error online.
Could headers have any specific connection to the manufacturer?
It's undetermined, but often times just changing the manufacturer ID makes a Unique ID work correctly, which is why I made SAK to allow users to change all the bits "to order", so to speak. If you're encountering errors, change the manufacturer until it works. Be sure to button-cycle the cart after making changes to reload the header.

Did you follow the instructions in the first post, switched the template in the writer and game-cycled the cart with the button?

It's a bit tricky to do that because it requires ROM's to be present. No Ban No Sky just injects Unique ID's, SAK calculates certain values from the ROM, which is completely different. Even batch operations would be hard due to the customizability aspect of the app, but I do have certain plans that will save everyone a lot of trouble.

Why does avg and chrome detect it as malware?
Blame .Net. It's a false positive, there's nothing "malware" about it, it's probably listed because it demands Admin access if you want to trim ROM's (it writes directly to the drive rather than use .NET's file system buffers since they're too small to large files).

Hello,
Thanks for the tool Foxi, I guess it work good because everyone say so , altough i may be doing something wrong because I always get 02-0123 error. Im working with 1.5.1 and here is what I did :
imported the sky3ds template (0723)
imported rom (tetris axis) (CTR-P-ATLE)
paste my unique ID (extracted from my steel diver)
Copied the EEPROM ID info that was on the template
Put the cart ID that was on template, exept for the size that was F8(2gig) and puted FF istead (since the rom is 256meg)
hit the auto-detect Unknow ID
Generated template
copy paste and save it to replace the one in sky3ds template
write my rom by reselecting the template
poped tetris and tried to go online and erroooor

I wonder if you can help me

cheers ! , P.S : I went in Poland once for woodstock festival in krostny , crazy !!

I'm a fan of Woodstock myself, top festival!

As for the data you've put in:
1. Delete the game, if possible delete the save as well
2. Change the declared size back to what the template says, no need to change anything in the Cart ID for now.
3. Write the game with the new template and game-cycle with the button to update on-board data.
4. If it fails, change the Cart ID manufacturer and re-try - C2 works in 90% of cases.
5. Do not edit the Sky template, save your custom template separately and select it from DiskWriter. Often times games have duplicate releases with the same product ID, but different SHA1 values. To avoid confusion, save to *.txt instead.

Good luck and keep on trying!

No problemo, enjoy the games! In my spare time I plan on making SAK more user-friendly to avoid confusion regarding how to use it correctly, for now real life keeps me a bit busier than I'd like. :P

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
