Hacking Working/Non-working games, using Queno138's file pack

[ov3rkill]

Please specify if this is gateway emunand or just CFW.
As far as I know CFW has compatibility issues.
Maybe we can wiki this or something.

Could not get Sonic Lost World euro to work either, it would not generate a .cia file at all. I have tried with other packages but the same with all. So basically the only two I cannot get working, which he said is Starfox64 freezes on 3DS logo on booting the game and Sonic Lost World will not generate a .cia file all the rest I have working.

Also Nes Remix wont work either it erros on generating with .bin missing.

Edit: Mine are all tested and working on the latest Gateway Emunand, not CFW

I got SF64. Originally it was getting as far as just past the 3DS loading screen, then crashing with "An error has occurred, hold down the power button, etc" I realized the problem was that I had minimum kernel version set in the .rsf where the original exheader (0x39C) had those bytes filled, presumably it wasn't something that was checked until later on and breaks compatibility with earlier games if you set it?

I've got a link to the python script I've put together to make (hopefully) working .rsfs, worked for SSB and Star Fox so should work for anything else.

Optionally can patch the minimum firmware requirement for a game, if you're on 4.5 CFW, though obviously that only works to an extend and any games that use 7.x crypto or other features exclusive to higher firmwares still won't work. Also includes .exe versions of the scripts, if you get errors using the .py files, and a quick region patcher just because I forgot to take it out of the folder when zipping it and can't be bothered to reupload.

No promises about this having any guarantee of working, it's real lazy, bad python and method, and having almost never used python before I was mostly learning as I went along.

Cool m8 but no ctrkeygen.py generator? I was going to try nes remix again.

 

[Vappy]

Nope, that's just for making the .rsf files, everything else you need is posted elsewhere, and then anyone who might want it probably already HAS everything else they'd need.

How is it supposed to work? You just drag and drop your .3ds rom on make? to generate your rsf file?

 

[Vappy]

I included instructions in the readme.txt. You put a decrypted exheader.bin and a .3ds (encrypted or decrypted doesn't matter) into the folder with the .bat files, then drag the .3ds onto make.bat.

 

[CraddaPoosta]

Well, I thought I was finally done after getting Star Fox working, but, if I can get my other games that are under 1GB to install, I might as well try. Still have 4GB free on my big SD card. No point in letting it go to waste.

You mean your generted xorpads with your .3ds rom? I dont get it, it does nothing for me apart from say press button to continue then it just exits?

Edit: Python is not internal external as a command?

It does not work m8, exheader.bin error? where do you get that from?

 

[Vappy]

Your folder should look like this, have these two files put into it

Spoiler

If the regular make.bat isn't working for you, like you say python isn't recognized as a command, drag it onto make -exe.bat instead.

Your exheader should be decrypted, when you open it in a hex editor it should look at least a bit readable in a hex editor, eg. here's what the first part of SSB's decrypted exheader looks like, it should look similar to this

Spoiler

If your exheader looks more like this in a hex editor

Spoiler

Then you're probably trying to use an encrypted one, or you didn't decrypt or xor it right.

Got SF64 working after some hard effort, Will post a pici

Edit: Why does the big green slippy toad wobbling down the tunnel at the intro make me laugh so hard every time I see it!

 

[CraddaPoosta]

I had a little help from someone who had already successfully converted it. This scene DOES look out for each other.

Mine were all EmuNAND on 9.2.0-20U using Gateway OMEGA 2.6

 

[happydance]

Pokémon X works on CFW but crashes on saving... so that might be? somewhat working?

 

[bluke]

Finally I got Donkey Kong Country Return 3D and Castlevania Mirror of Fate work on Emunand 9.2

Hey Vappy,

would you mind if I integrate your latest rsfgen pack into my pack? D

 

[Vappy]

Go for it. I've been meaning to get around to rewriting it so it prints out a clean .rsf instead of pasting over a copied template, and also working out a good way to read a few other entries from the header, I'll send you a PM if I get around to it.

that's great!

I'll try to integrate the present one at the mean time

Neo Draven, I've combined Vappy's latest rsfgen.py into my pack and got Animal Crossing (said to be not working unless custom rsf) to work.

You may want to try it on the games on your list

latest pack:

[CraddaPoosta]

On it. I need to re-test Sonic Boom and Kid Icarus, anyway. Will try it and report back.

 

[CraddaPoosta]

Nothing I have tried will convert Tetris Ultimate.

Kid Icarus successfully converted, but it is still installing, so I will confirm if it works on the newest version soon.

After that, I am testing Harvest Moon - Tale of Two Towns, followed by Sonic Boom.


EDIT - Kid Icarus Uprising failed, again. Tried using my old .rsf file linked in this very thread, and it still failed. Installed but won't boot.

EDIT - Well, no, I am just an idiot. I forgot to delete the backup save data. Works perfectly.

My collection is again complete.
