Hacking [HOW-TO] Use Scene Dumps with GW 2.2 Online

[cowboy619]

You don't need 4gb as long as it is modified correctly. Just buy the cheapest one. I picked up the factory sealed game at 99 cents from ebay. If you still want to know the sizes of games, check the scene release page and sort it in order of game size.

So i can use any game header. Size doesnt matter?

Yes as long as it's modified correctly.

this tutorial will work with a personal dump of luigis mansion made in omega 2.2 into pokemon x/y- animal croosing(since their save methods are diferent )?

Yes, as long as the header values are modified properly. (As per the info on the first post)

Possible to split 4gb+ .3dz? One of my cards is buggy on exFAT.

i always try to give a friendly reply, but now i understand when i go on other forums (xda), and ask something in a big thread, why some people give short, mean replies, telling me to search more

good question... try renaming it how gateway want us to name split .3ds files, but replace the s with a z? there isn't a s in the split file extension though... right?
maybe it's not possible... nothing will go wrong if you try

Yeah I was trying to figure out how to do it. Don't think it's possible tho.

guess Ill have to try again when Im home remodify the header and inject it to see if it works

Try values C2 F8 00 98 00 00 00 00 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF at offset 00000040 and leaving offset 00000000 as it is. That worked for me on a Eur scene release of Pokemon Y.

which header did you inject ? a public on or private one?

In all fairness, the OP has yet to update the first post with a lot of relevant information gained through the discussion (i.e. how to actually edit the header values, what the values actually change/need to be, and a list of known working values for offset 00000040 and the respective games). Either the first post needs to be updated more diligently or a new thread with updated info and known working games/values needs to be created.

What does that mean "modified correctly" ?!?
With Gateway ROM Patcher v0.2 software, modification of header is always correct, isn't it ?

So any headers can be interchanged at will, regardless of the card manufacturer, the size of the game, the type of the card (CARD1/CARD2) or level update required, right ?

 

[mcsdoode]

I used a private header (JAP Ocarina of Time) but the public headers should work just the same. Just make sure you change the rom extension to .3dz (I forgot to do that at first myself).

if you're not at ease with hexa edit, offsets etc use Gateway Rom Patcher v0.3 and just copy/paste the infos others are giving. IDs are maybe public and it could be risky, but they work :/

i just tried 0.3 of that program and it didnt automatically adjust anything just pasted the exact header in as it was, and then to use the editor function i need to go extract the game ID anyway....seems a bit counterproductive..........idk may somethin got messed up between 0.2 and 0.3, but anyway he didnt say if he was using that program anyway so i assume he was editing manually, in which case he should just edit his rom to look exactly like this in the hex editor

It's not the firmware.





1. Manufacturer (0x1240)
45 = SanDisk
AE = OKI Semiconductor
C2 = Macronix


2. Size (0x1241)
7F = 128mb
FF = 256mb
FE = 512mb
FA = 1gb
F8 = 2gb
F0 = 4gb

3. Unknown (0x1242)
00 =
02 =

4. Card Type (0x1243)
90 = card1
98 = card2

You are very close to being correct.
1st
I believe 0x90 0x98 and 0x9F are JEDEC Query functions (0x9x been around forever with nintendo carts)

Spoiler

3 Hardware interface
3.1 Query command interface
The CFI Query structure is accessed similar to the existing “ID Mode” or “JEDEC ID” access for
nonvolatile memories, but uses a different, non-conflicting command code. The Query access
command is 98h, while the JEDEC ID mode access mode is 90h.

2nd point
the size is a 2 bytes or 1 word value( in little endian). So if there is a 0x02 in byte 3 then multiply by 8 the value of byte 2.
