Well I got Gateway and SaveDataFiler, so the patch won't get in my way. :evil:



FYI, once I finally get the Alpha Sapphire patch downloaded from CDN I plan to release it at the usual place. I'd have it downloaded by now if my internet wasn't so ***tty. :(

could you please verify if they patched the QR code exploits (Internet ones for pkhex) in the new update ?

guys, just use FunkyCIA.
you can use an 'old' ticket for new content.
if you already have a legit ticket for a pokemon update, the new cia made by FunkyCIA will work in classic mode for you.
you don't need to mess around with ticket.db injection lol, because (i assume) most of you already have a legit pokemon update ticket.

if you don't use FunkyCIA and just cobble together the content from your sd card into a cia, then it will not work in classic mode even if you have a legit ticket - i'm pretty sure


-edit - because remember, the title key for all the same content is the same.
that is why after getting a ticket for themes (dlc), we can get all the updates for those themes.
it's the same with updates, if you have a ticket for 1.1 pokemon x, you can use it to still make cias that would be legit, for 1.2 and 1.3
you don't get a new ticket, or at least, it is not required :)

Does this mean they finally fixed the lag?
that would require rewriting the whole engine the games use
and lets be frank it's game freak, they didn't bother with it when or/as was released on the x/y engine and most likely the next pkm game will reuse the same laggy engine

CDN can download game patches? I thought it could only do system updates.

Are you sure we need this update to play online?

I did a hour of wonder trading a couple hours and it was working perfectly.

I was using my actual cart in classic mode if that matters.

FunkyCIA seems like it's able to pull tickets from ticket.db file and is an alternative to the cdnto3ds python script which is definitely showing it's age.

I just used rxTools to dump my ticket.db once i had downloaded the patch in my 9.6 emunand. Then I roll back that emunand to 9.5 so Gateway will still work. Then used Decrypt9 to decrypt the title keys so I can generate a decTitleKeys.bin file for use with the printkeys python script. (for some reason the title keys decrypted direct from rxTools doesn't work with this python script, otherwise I'd skip using Decrypt9 entirely)

From there I just use that above mentioned python script to download it using the title ticket (or key. I keep switching between the two terms. :P )

I made two CIAs. The one it automatically made which I believe has my title key so it's a legit CIA tied to my console and a second built from the "decrypted" CXI (the .dec file it generated) which isn't fully decrypted, but should be installable on other 3DS consoles. That one is the one I'll make public. ;)

I just now got it downloaded. CDN just doesn't get along with my internet for some reason as I had to restart the download a few times because it kept getting cut off. So annoying. :P

EDIT: Lol technically I didn't even need to do all of this. Apparently after I rolled emunand back to 9.5, the new patch installed to SD card STILL WORKS! (and I know this because it said 1.3 in the save load screen in Alpha Sapphire) Which perhaps makes me believe the patches use the same title key as the last version of the patch? Interesting. Though if you never installed any of the updates from eShop in the first place you will be in for the more complicated method of getting them.


So for the rest of you...just download the update in rxMode CFW (go to system settings and update first. Don't update emunand using eShop. I've heard mixed results about that. Of coarse backup your 9.5 emunand first) Once it's installed roll that sucker back to 9.5 and there you go. You updated your pokemon gamez. :P

For n3DS users with NAND mods, the process is a bit more complicated. If you had installed at least one update for all your pokemon games, this should work for you too. Just flash your current emunand over to sysnand. Then update it to 9.6. Then download the updates. Then restore your sysnand backup. Boom. You got the updates installed! Note that you must have a NAND mod if you have a n3DS because 9.6 for n3DS fixed the crypto and it will be a long time before 9.6 will boot in emunand. You will instead have to run your current emunand on sysnand and update it there. This is why a nand mod is needed so that you can downgrade back to 9.2 fw to restore your exploit entry points.


Note the above would only work if you had installed at least one of the previous updates of your target games from the eShop. Patches you downloaded from romz sites don't generate legit tickets, so yeah, that won't work in this case. :P

so you can use cdn(dont even know what this is) to get eshop stuff with out updating?

yes, if your situation is like i said. if you have a ticket for pokemon x update 1.1, you can use it to get the files for 1.2, 1.3.. etc
if what you want is new and you do not already have a ticket, sure, you need to access eshop and first get that ticket :)

this information wasn't new (about the same title key being used for all versions of a content)
as i said above, it how we can nicely easily use FunkyCIA with one theme ticket, to continually grab the latest pack of themes from CDN :)

I have the N3DS with Gateway 3.1.1 and emunand 9.5

If i do the ORAS 1.3 update through a CIA file, will I still be able to export my ORAS save through savedatafiler, then modify this save with pkhex and import the save back in my ORAS game ? thanks for the answer

I've got a retail cart of Omega Ruby and have not installed any updates whatsoever - not used any online features yet. Will the method you're talking about still work? Heck, is there any way I can get online with my retail cart and still take advantage of the QR fiasco?

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
