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

[qproject]

If you get it to work but it locks up, you have to hold the power button until it turns off to reset it.

I read that before you wake up in the hut, don;t press A for at least 30 seconds and that will bypass the lockup/freeze

Does anyone know how the release saves are being converted for sky3ds

 

[maikaru]

New 3DS firmware - 9.2.0-20J
Front: LNA-CTR-AQEJ-JPN
Back: AQEJY10125
Working y/n - Yes

are you using Sky3DS or JP OOT cart ?

Sky3DS costs almost 100 bucks in my area.

I would be better off by just importing the retail cart from yasan

Got it. Thanks! Will report back soon with results.

Edit: Darn. Getting the same thing as you.

This may be a good sign, if sonic2756 sees this post.

Last night someone else (gunner007) was having the same exact problem at the same place and sonic posted him a fix for it.
Something about...

Well, got the save to show up and load!

Then it freezes up when pressing A
Almost there Thanks for your help

I forgot to apply the fix. Try it now.

You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Works!

I'll leave it up for an hour, let me know when you have it.

This save got me further then the one posted on first page.

I can see the gateway save for first time. Do not get corrupt save finally! When I press A though I get frozen screen.

Did you wait 30 seconds before pressing A? Are you using the original microSD card inside the N3DS?

Yes and Yes

Some additional notes that I've personally been experiencing:

1) If you try running the exploit once and it doesn't work but crashes you back to home menu, it will NOT work the second time, the 3ds needs a power cycle.

2) If you successfully run the exploit the first time but get kicked out of gwmode/emunand, again you will need a power cycle, the exploit doesn't work the second time.

3) Once you load up the game and you load the save, don't press A immediately when the game loads, I've had issues with this just causing crashes and not actually booting the exploit, give it a few seconds, then press A to check. (Maybe it's some part of the code not being fully loaded? Or something to do with the load chain? No idea o.o)

I will try this now.

Loading up the game...
Loading up the save...
Heating up a Pepperoni Hot-Pocket (2 Minutes....)
Press-A

Nope. Frozen.

(At least I have a Hot Pocket to eat now, Thanks!!)

Just did a test where I put oot in the first slot. Still getting the freezing issue. I don't think the placement of the rom is causing any issue.

Btw, for those new to sky3ds, read this to understand how their convoluted save restore system works: http://blog.3dseu.com/the-official-tutorial-of-savedata-and-restore-backup-for-sky3ds-flashcart/

Mine freezes to a blank top screen and a white bottom screen

 

[sbm888]

I've been sick for the past 3 days - and woke up reading this?

wtf?

please summarise what has happened?
GW is working now? and we need an ORIGINAL OOT cart?

Did you delete the GATEWAY***** save from inside the game before you tried it again in the first position?

I tried this before and it would never show the save again until I added a another title and put it back in the 2nd position (or 3rd, or 4th, or...)
I have no idea why this is, but it works/locksup for me 100% of the time when I do it this way.

Oh well, it seems Cubic Ninja is our only hope.

I might need to get the save on the EEPROM before this will work properly.

 

[dustmite]

not quite yet. The only 3ds scene japanese OoT Rom was released by Bahamut unless someone knows something I don't. Right now I am waiting to see if this rom is even compatible. I have tried multiple times and tried downloading and redownloading on many sites so for right now I can say it does not work on Jap new3ds 8.1 at least

What exactly do you mean by "does not work"?
Did you try the new save by HELPER, posted in the first post?

Please describe the problem exactly.

I believe if you follow step four in the link I posted above it should show up. It's supposed to do a clean wipe of the saves and initialize the first save correctly.

 

[nor3x]

Is a Eur save floating around??

Hey sonic. Thanks for the effort so far. I'm not sure if you're asking me to do something or someone with a retail cart?
