Hacking [HOWTO] Use OOT Exploit on SKY3DS/Non Working Carts

[Jeffers21]

Format a new SD card, make sure you're using the right template, write game, then save.

Tried this and still appears blank.

Does it matter what the ROM is? Trying an original dump of mine.

Formatted a new microSD - added trimmed ROM to Diskwriter, restored saved. This time it booted but said save data is corrupt

Are you using the rev01 or 00 rom?

omg
i didnt know that my rom is rev01 , i wasted tons of times on porting save file from gw to sky3ds

Are you using a "scene" rip of OOT?

Your save still doesn't work.
I also think thats the problem. 3DSExplorer says that the Revision of my ROM is 0x0002

I have a Sky3DS red button and OOT isn't in my 10 games list... so I can't get a working save because I need to patch the game to EEPROM NO

Red Button Sky3DS is not the issue. You need some HEX Skills and manipulated header and the Sky3ds will crash uppon reading the game. You can't save card1 but it will load fine

How can this be made to work on a legit oot?

I need data from fellow GBATemp members. Updated OP with requirements.

HAve mine, but figured it won't work with DiskWriter. Been using the US-Contrast release. The one time I got it to notice the save it complained about it and said it was corrupt. Let me check the rom info

CTR-P-AQEE USA Maker code: 01 FW 1.1.0(v1045) Card1

 

[GothicIII]

My ROM has following Hash (SHA-256):
19B9B86F64894CDC1F5D36E40D7AB2DF39C5CDFA5ECD9957FF180ADBD63815734EA8DCDBD0CF86DC [...]
Title-ID: CTR-P-AQEP (EU)
Revision:0x0002

Wrong forum. This is for Sky3DS users. Legit users don't need this.

Some legit users do need fixed saves because of ROM variances.

I wasn't using the contrast release to build the initial save. Working on it now. Gotta wait for my sysNAND to finish backing up

That's fantastic. I suspect that by the time my oot arrives you'll have it fixed by then. Could you share how you came by the fix? I'm interested in the technical details.

GW Fix Steps:
Step 1: Download SAV linked below
Step 2: Restore to card
Step 3: ??????
Step 4: PROFIT


SKY3DS Steps:
Step 0.5: Grab the template linked below and change your Diskwriter settings to use it.
Step 1: Grab a copy of OOT. Slap it on your Sky3DS.
Step 2: Grab the SAV for your region from below
Step 3: Restore SAV with Diskwriter
Step 4: ??????
Step 5: PROFIT

Thanks to Chuntington for helping me confirm my suspicions.

In order to fix EU and JP carts, I need SavaDataFiler dumps of WORKING and NON WORKING OOT carts. (both are needed). Shoot me a PM with them and I'll get to work .

Will a SaveDataFiler dump from the Rev01 scene release along with a dump from a nonworking cart be enough to make a fixed EUR save? I have one of the nonworking carts (Rev00)

I might sound like a noob asking this but what's the point of doing this?

GW puts their payload at the end of the save starting at 0001DFFC instead of in "profile 1" like I initially thought. Doing save conversions stripped this data, so I'm just rebuilding correct saves/fixing offsets for sky users.

 

[sonic2756]

Will a SaveDataFiler dump from the original ROM (should be the same as the working cart?) along with a dump from a nonworking cart be enough to make a fixed EUR save? I have one of the nonworking carts (Rev00)

PM me your nonworking stuff.

EU Does not work. Even Formated a 4GB Card, the Game is the only one, Restored the Save File, but said it is corrupt when I tried to run it.
Product Code: AQEP
Raw Code: CTR-P-AQEP

 

[The Real Jdbye]

PM me your nonworking stuff.

I don't have CFW set up to make a SaveDataFiler dump of the cart right now, but I can do it later today.
Edit: I have a dump of my cartridge though, would a SDF dump from that work?
Is Rev01 the one GW's save works with? There are dumps of both Rev00 (identical to the one I have) and Rev01 so SDF dumps from the roms should be all you need if that is the case.

It seems useful for those with legit carts that don't work and those that have both a Sky3DS and a Gateway.

Thank you, I appreciate it. Go figure the one time GW announces something the cart I need is 2000 miles away
