Hacking [Release]NTR CFW 3.2 with experimental Real-Time Save feature.

[Wengier]

Wouldn't the CFW on this thread allow you to do that? I recall someone saying this CFW can be used with 6.0+ save management, so correct me if I'm wrong, as I'm not familiar with Sky3DS. Are Sky3DS saves incompatible with even cartridge-mode Gateway games? I would have thought the .sav format would be the same. eShop-mode saves are certainly different, but that's why this CFW is so great. We could take a Pokemon Alpha Sapphire save, for example, from a retail or Sky3DS card, and convert the save to the eShop equivalent, which was previously impossible without a Powersaves device.

So back to what I was saying/asking: cartridge (non-eShop) games don't work with Sky3DS saves (which are also cartridge based)? Not even unencrypted/<6.X games? Because if encryption was the issue, this CFW would handle that, I would think.

The .sav format between SKy3DS and Gateway are definitely not the same. AFAIK there is in fact a tool named 3DSsavTool which claims to be able to convert between the two, but it is obviously only a beta and there are still many problems. Unless there is a real tool which can easily convert between the two, I am reluctant to buy another flashcard.

The italian seller. Purchased from him and was marked as shipped today.

That's him, I got my copy from there. It was definitely used and not new as advertised, but who cares.

Thanks for the great work!

Also can anyone run a US copy of Majora's Mask? I tried the new clean mode in 2.1 and it still won't play. It hangs at a black screen and you can see the loading icon for a second before this happens. I can run other out of region games just fine including other safe mode required games. I am running a Japanese New 3DS LL 9.1.0-20J.

Will the NTR CFW be available for Old 3DS a day?
It would be great, I always wanted to backup my 6.X+ saves but can't do it atm...

I read through the comments. I can't figure out where this added Anti-Piracy feature is?
Does it automatically PING Team America with your ISP information or something if it detects a GW or Sky3DS?

Nope, there are no additional Anti-Piracy feature in NTR.
The official firmware has anti-piracy feature, and it won't be disabled in NTR mode, so you can not play pirated games in this CFW.

MM is a bit of a special case, it doesn't run via regionthree either. cell9 may need to some extra work to get it working.

There's nothing in place to prevent people from using sky3DS, as its pretty much undetectable.

Gateway doesn't work on NTR obviously. But I think the "feature" that makes it anti-piracy is that it doesn't patch signature checks that would allow unsigned code to run. So no unsigned .cia support means no installing pirated ROMs to the homescreen.

No "cross contamination" issues? =0p emuNAND/GW still working perfectly fine? CFW works fine?

They're two entirely different things, NTR does not use an emuNAND. You can't access the eShop, you can't download game updates, and if you try to update your 3DS in NTR mode you will update your sysNAND.

I cannot stress this enough.

I assume you mean you havent tried booting CFW from emunand or emunand from CFW? thats fine.. no real need to do that.

Good enough for me! I will test tomorrow. Thanks!

Correct, you can't boot from one to the other. But as you say, there's no real need to.

In short, useless cfw (DarkAlex, C4eva lol on it for sure).

another useless cfw for piracy

Yep, get used to it. It's not going to change any time soon.

If people want to pirate 3DS games they're going to have to buy a Gateway or SKY3DS. Sorry.

Can I still use sky3ds with this, But region free?

I believe what you're looking for is the original NTR it has old3DS/4.5 support. I don't think NTR 2 will be supporting old3DS.

The save plugin download has a version for both old and new 3DSes.

Did anyone test american Code Name STEAM on an european N3DS with Sky3ds? I can't run it. If i don't use Clean Mode, it stucks on N3DS presentation. If I use Clean Mode, it stucks on a black screen. Maybe it requieres a high fw.

Some games don't work well without region spoofing, like MM3D. Mostly because it tries to load language files which don't exist.

I would like to ask you something :
If I want to write to another process memory from a plugin what functions should I call?
I can get the handle with openProcess, but wwriteProcessMemory fails to do its work.

Thanks

I'm pretty much wanting that debugger/memory viewer and editor feature.
...Except I only have 3 old3DSs.

They will add supports for old3ds and other regions later.

So if i buy a pal new 3ds, it comes with firmware between 9.0-9.2 how do i update it to the firmware this supports? And if i dont have a pal version of cubic ninja i have to buy a sky3ds?

New 3DS (excl JP) start at 9.0. If you buy one it will either be 9.0, 9.2, or 9.4. If it's 9.0/9.2 you don't need to update it. If it's 9.4 you can't use it with this.

You will have to buy either pal CN or sky3ds.

TC had announced that he would add support for Old3DS later.
But he hadn't said how late is "later".

BTW, I'm not claiming about it, but just telling the fact.
I'll never urge TC for this.

 

[TheShadowRunner]

cell9, have you considered supporting OoT to install BootNTR rather than CN?

 

[puss2puss]

Great work cell9!
Is there a way to make a plugin that could redirect game's files like textures and models?..a bit like the plugin LayeredFS, but instead of redirecting the text file, it would be for textures mods (textures, models, sounds,..)
Thanks

 

[Zidapi]

One thing I haven't seen mentioned.

Does NTR 2 disable wifi when cheats are enabled like NTR 1.x does?

Who the heck is "TC"?
