Hacking N3DS - Does the DS exploit get wiped for YOU? (+ poll)

[gamesquest1]

What I wanted to say is that step wasn't necessary for me.

hmmm so just install exploit, rename profile, change name back to original?

Perhaps. I did the mid-time install, so I can't say.

ok i dont suppose it matters that much, install exploit and mess with profile name in some order = profit

 

[retrospect]

Interestingly, in DS mode I now have my temp nickname (the one set for a short time while working through the steps to make the exploit stick).

Isn't that interesting? Too bad I didn't pick something good.

Can confirm this works for me too.

Curious to find out what happened to the rop chain, I dumped my ds profile afterwards and ... the nickname I changed was still there untouched.
For the record I don't have emunand installed on this SD.

Previously the profile exploit was wiped till I tried this. Below are my actual steps.

1) Install the exploit using the N3DS_ROPInstaller.nds; e.g. Profile Name: slslasher
2) Go to settings and change Profile Name to another one; e.g. Profile Name: slslasher01
3) Launch a DS game, exploit would be gone
4) Install the exploit using the N3DS_ROPInstaller.nds again and it should be stuck

Extra Steps because I want to change back my original profile name
5) Go to settings and change Profile Name to my original one; e.g. Profile Name: slslasher
6) Launch exploit and test, there should be an error.
7) Install the exploit using the N3DS_ROPInstaller.nds again and it should be stuck

You are the best XD I can confirm that it works on my EUR new 3ds xl 9.0E with timewarp.cia and blue card

Side note : while my firmware is french, my DS Download Play is now english.

ok so it looks like we hit some sort of useful ds profile bug......might be a side effect of the fact we also have a downgraded mset or something maybe, whatever the name switching stuff does it seems to lock the exploit in place which is good

Second side note : my name in DS mode is now SPARK*smiley happy**smiley angry**smiley sad**neutral smiley**sun*

I sort of came across an mset bug about a week ago. I downgraded my O3DS to 4.x and installed rxTools ROP. After messing around a bit, I tried to access the DS profile exploit but I was shown a bunch of random details, like the name was "YS:/" and so forth - I think Roxas even left his birthday in the ROP, not sure. It wouldn't let me change the details, for some reason :/ . I changed my 3DS profile name instead, then it let me change the DS profile... Strange. If I can repeat the results, I'll show ya - I doubt it would benefit anyone...

Are you guys just re-installing the cia or the nvram to get the exploit to stick?

I noticed in my previous ds profile dump my language flag was set to JPN??? After the 'fix' it was set to English. (offset 0x64 & 0x75) language flag and extended language settings respectively.
I don't know if the wrong language before was causing the profile to be wiped or not.

That's normal. His rop installer works by overwriting your ds profile completely with a dump of his own. The YS:/ is the beginning of the filepath to his app that the rop jumps to. You change that and the rxtools won't boot.

Yup, that's what I did. I was only tinkering around with it. I don't understand why it didn't boot when I clicked "DS Profile", though...

No, go to page 4 (of this enormous 6 page thread)

Sort of off topic but this is the broken rxTools MSET config:

​

Edit: I also found out that GW 3.2 ROP Installer works on O3DS 4.5.​

So its the mset cia being installed using N3DS_ROPInstaller.nds? Sorry my knowledge regarding ropinstaller is non-existent.

Getting it to stick seems to have something to do with renaming your profile. Try renaming your profile and see if it sticks, if not rename it back and see if it sticks then.

 

[retrospect]

After getting mine to stick (properly, by following the guide to change the DS profile name) I've now gotten it to un-stick. Possibly due to one of the following:

Accessing Metroid Prime: Hunters multiplayer (probably this).​

Playing Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow.​

Changing the Blue Card reset button combo and turning on back-up saves.​

Trying out other Blue Card menu settings.​

Powering off while in the Gateway Menu.​

Or maybe something else.

Wouldn't this possibly cause issues? Does it not affect DS games?
