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

[hippy dave]

I can confirm that my Mario Kart dump and the save dumped from the same cartridge are working nicely together, and online seems to work fine too. If anyone can help figure out how to get the Luigi's Mansion save working, I'd be incredibly happy

Renaming didn't work?

It seems that I couldn't use the save backed up by GW for my Supermario 3dland

edit:

So far, I only managed to get mk7 to work.

No not for Luigi's Mansion, the game said the save was corrupted and wiped it. Might be because the dumped save was 128KB, whereas the saves Gateway creates are always 512KB. Mario Kart was 512KB anyway so maybe that helped.

again i still think people should be warned if you have played a game in rom format and switch to a personal dump it will delete your existing save........i think gateway should of mentioned this

you have been warned.....unless it goes to another page then you probably won't read this

100+ hrs of Bravely Default went down the drain because of this lack of warning from Gateway....

sorry to hear that.....but atleast you bumped the warning

maybe try seeing if you can recover it with a data recovery program...but its unlikely

 

[blunt420force]

confirmed pokemon y (retail cart played on gateway classic mode) dumped then changed named to .3dz works with save from retail cart

 

[ultimatetemper]

I will test some other scene ROMS.
I will test Bravely Default, Fire Emblem Awakening and the Attack on Titan game.
Wish me luck.

Well I used Gateway's own incomplete real-time saving in an attempt to prevent the SD card from being written to by ejecting the red cart. I'm in the process of putting my old scene rom back on my mSD to see if I was able to prevent the overwrite. I'll report back after my recovery attempt.

Hmmmm if Nintendo starts banning the game ID that will cause a bit of chaos in the second d hand market think about buying a second hand game and its banned from online.

That could certainly be a problem, but I think that it would be small enough to possibly ignore from their end. The only reason that I say this is because Flash Cart users at this time represent only a small percentage of the total worldwide install base. If they find an open exploit for higher firmware versions though, it could become a much more noticeable problem for them.

 

[gamesquest1]

i think nintendo will probably just let it go in terms of banning carts.....would be too much of a headache having people hounding them for replacements, or people switching new carts with a second hand banned copy...........probably the best they could hope for is banning consoles.....but again it causes issues with the second hand market etc, but it would at least kill of the supply of 4.x consoles

i can't put my retail pokemon save on my gateway, so if i want to play online, it has to be on a fresh save... but still, better than nothing

Speaking of which, does it allow you to have 2 different saves for the same console (one with your retail pokemon and one with your dumped copy of it) or will the new one erase the one you are playing on classic mode on the original cartridge ?

 

[ultimatetemper]

ROMs tested:
Bravely Default: Doesn't allow you to connect, gives the message "You can't connect with this game cart"
Fire Emblem and the Attack on Titan game connect without any problem.
Now I'm gonna test Pokémon X/Y.

From my earlier experiment, they are completely separate so yes.

Pokémon X/Y DOESN'T WORK via Rom.

The save file on your retail cart stays intact. Therefore you could have two saves that have identical OT IDs but completely different pokemon. You could theoretically create a 0-pokemon save on the retail cart and end up with all three starters that are treated as being your own via trading with dumps and the usage of a second 3DS.

 

[gamesquest1]

its a paradox

 

[MGS1980]

Pokémon X/Y DOESN'T WORK via Rom.

That is incorrect. The game works fine via ROM. I've confirmed it and somebody else has as well. The only problem arises when you are trying to transfer a save from a cart played on a non modified 3DS to the Gateway. It will always come up as corrupt. It will however transfer from a cart that has been saved on a Gateway unit using Classic mode.
