Hacking RELEASE: GATEWAY 2.2 "OMEGA" - Homebrew and Online support

[Qtis]

Overwhelming news, now it's time for the 3D homebrew emulators to overcome Nintendo's Virtual Console releases..

If only they had a sw lib to use. Oh wait, we're still missing it

Has anyone tried the Backup/Restore Game Save features yet? I'll try myself with my MK7 cart once Bravely Default finishes dumping. Also, has anyone tested whether trimming breaks online capability?

I'm really starting to kick myself for starting with the biggest rom of them all...

The save dump works, but you can't use the dumped saves with ROMs, just like with other save dumpers.

i'm worried to dump and restore my pokemon retail save

Not even with the ROM you dump yourself? That seems so counter-intuitive to include such a feature but not have it be compatible with the ROM dumper.

Coming right up!

That's what the demo was compiled with, along with 3dsguy's makerom most likely.

That's not true foxi. All carts have a unique 16 byte ID at 0x1200 (when dumped by GW). I'm sure Nintendo has a whitelist of them that they'll be more than willing to leverage when fools go online.

Nvm, I can't read.

Original post:
16 bits are only enough to identify 65536 different copies, and that's not counting a CRC to avoid you just generating a random number.
If that's all there is, it's useless.

well the save encryption is different, or something like that, keys etc etc, right?

Perhaps the dumped ROM will have the retail save embedded in it, just like the current ROM version does.

the homebrew support is not up to par. imo

they are just using using what smea provided. i would have thought they would have created they our fork from smea work.

what if smea stops working on the 3DS.

Homebrew shouldn't be up to just one person. Besides, previously only smea could run homebrew code and kept it private.

Now everybody can join in with the fun and the community as a whole will improve ctrulib.. It's good news for everyone

can confirm online is working on mario kart 7

16 bytes equals 128 bits, which means Ninty covered their asses for over 3.40 × 10^38 copies of each game. That's a lot of theoretical unused codes.

now they need to fix pokebank on the emunand.

yeah i tried with my pokemon dump and it wasn't working, then i realized it was because i didn't get the update patch yet, ha
