Gamesquest1, can you please reproduce your bricking efforts with the new firmware so we may know if the bricking code is still around? Personally just waiting for confirmation on that to update! =)

oh no i seen you mentioned it didnt work, i mean they mention they have future plans that would require more exact dumps....sounds like online play to me

uploaded an initial demo video.....although everyone has the beta now...didn't show any roms as i think that might be why my last video got took down, but figured those who aren't jumping on board just yet, might want to see how it works etc

Oh god gamesquest please diagnostic the shit out of the new beta and tell us it doesn't brick anymore!

i have run diagnostics an awful lot of times now, and it all appears fine, if you want to be safe, im sure some devs who can actually check out the coding will be able to say for sure if its been removed or not....but so far its looking likely

well i have a bunch of other launcher files on my SD card from my test days.....you cant really use another launcher if your using the new launcher :rofl2:
and in my experience with the previous brick code the date didn't effect it setting it way in advance or way behind didn't change much

Interesting, when you backup a large game (4GB), it splits the file into two 2GB parts with extensions .3D0 and .3D1

GW also patches the game file at 0x1200 (16 bytes - hash data maybe) and 0x1240 (8 bytes - id data maybe). In both places, the normal internet release has FF's.

That would be because the internal SD card in the 3DS is fat32, which doesn't allow files over 4GB in size.

From the looks of it, the rom splitter can't join files, but I'm sure a future version will be able to.

Wait.. I read this line:
  1. Anything using the new 7.0 keys do not work.
But didn't it say 100% games working? Can someone explain that?

That only applies for games created with the SDK 7.X (if I'm wrong in this, someone can correct me). No games have been created with this version of the SDK, the latest has been 5.2 as far as I know.

The only thing that falls in this category is the Pokebank app and the American version of the Youtube app, which can be downloaded from the eShop.

Edit: This is what happens when you write your answers with too many words...

Don't buy flash memory on eBay, it's guaranteed to be fake.


can't say for certain, but based in china with 9 feedback isn't a good sign

Feedback score doesn't even matter. I know someone that just bought a fake MSD, and the seller had 5,000+ positive feedback(almost 100%). Most people don't realize there's something wrong with the card until much, much later. And by that point, they just assume it died or something.

These sellers give immediate refunds without asking for you to send the item back if you complain about a card you bought, and that stops most people from giving them bad feedback.

  • 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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
