yea, i had injected a private header and that number is the one you outlined on the first paged or after the 4 sets of FF?


You will see this when you open your save in HxD

The red line is your private header

Hallo,

ich komme aus Österreich und habe von "elewelt.de" über Express Versand (DHL) vorigen Mittwoch bestellt und ist heute schon in Deutschland angekommen und morgen (5 Werktage) sollte es laut DHL bei mir ankommen, ZOLL wurde vermutlich durch geschickten Versand umgangen.

Es wurde von China nach Malaysia und von dort aus nach Singapore und dann nach Deutschland verschickt.

Ob der Shop allgemein seriös ist sehe ich erst ab morgen, auf jedenfall musste ich 2 Mails schicken damit ich überhaupt die Trackingnummer erhalten habe.

Ich hoffe ich konnte dir damit helfen.

MfG,
Markus

Hi everyone,

I followed the tutorial and everything worked fine. I added a new game and when I checked it was confirmed that I use my private header.
The problem is, I had more games on the micro sd card card, but backing them up and putting them back on didn't result in using my private header. I also didn't get the disclaimer saying that the header was overwritten with the template file. I only got this disclaimer when adding the new game I didn't have on the micro sd card before.
How do I tell the diskwriter to use the template file with my private header to overwrite the old headers, which were changed using a old template file from Sky3DS with public headers?

Thank you in advance,
tietze111


PS:
Ich hab meine bei spitzekarte bestellt, aus der Liste auf der offiziellen Website von Sky3DS, falls noch jemand nach Möglichkeiten sucht zu bestellen. Die erste ist ohne Probleme angekommen, die zweite ist jetzt aber schon seit 22 Juni unterwegs und immer noch nicht da. Werde diesen Beitrag nochmal bearbeiten, wenn ich mehr weiß.

EDIT: Die zweite Karte ist heute auch angekommen, also spitzekarte.com ist als Reseller für Deutschland eine zuverlässige Wahl!

Hi. You cant overwrite a save using you private header. You must delete the old save and start a new game using a template with your private header. Any trying to overwrite it you will get a message saying that your save is corrupt, then (probably) it will ask if you want to delete it. (Delete it and start a new game)

Hi,
firstly I'd like to thank you for your help.
I just deleted my save game of Super Smash Bros 3DS and restartet the game, but when loking in the backuped save file, it still uses the old header. I think the problem is the ROM was patched with the public template file by the Diswriter the first time I wrote it on the sd card. Then I backuped up the game from sd card on pc, but when writing the game on the sd card again, it doesn't seem to patch the game again with the new private template.
Can I somehow force Diskwriter to rewrite the header with the new template file?

Yes, I got this issue once.
Try this, it is a little boring but worked for me:
Open your backuped save on hxD, change the header to your private header and save. (This will not work as a valid save for sky3ds and it is what we want)
Now on diskwriter rrestore to the rom this new save you edited on hxD.
Before insert the cart to 3ds, keep the blue/red button pressed, (nothing will show up, thats normal)
Remove and insert the cart again (whitout the button pressed) wait some seconds and remove and insert it again.
Now the game will show. Load the game and see if it will show that message I tould you (the corrupted save)
Say yes to delete it and start a new game.

Thank you very much! I did that for every game and all games now use my private header :) . I lost all my save games but playing online should be safe now.
One last question that I have:
Before every header in the save games there is this sequence: FF FF FF FF
The only game where it is not is Pokemon Y, is it safe to play online with that game too? I wonder why it behaves different to the others.

I checked my pkm x save and I can only see FF after my header, not before.. same for other games that I checked, I dont have pkm Y to test it..

Ok thanks, so there are more games that behave different. The example picture from the tutorial which has the red line on it showing where the header is in the save file has the FF FF FF FF section before the header, too.
My Games Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Luigis Mansion and Super Mario Land have theses four F sections before the header. Only Pokemon Y doesn't.

But anyway, it seems to be normal, so thanks for the good help and have a nice evening.

If your 3ds is from usa, then all your roms must be too. It will not show up if you write an EUR game in sky3ds.
All roms must be from same region

thats not the problem , i try to explain better: I put on 3 games: Mario kart 7 , kingdom hearts drop distance and braverly default.
everyone is eu as the sky3ds and it work. but once a time. i cant press the button to change game.
I know that the roms are ok because if i delete from the microSD the other game and leave just one , tryed the different case , that one works.

In other id like to know how i can save my date from microSD to computer and restore it , i thought it possible but when i tryed and make that change i lost for Corrupted date.

Yeah, I sometimes have the same problem. Do this:
1. Turn on your 3DS.
2. Keep pressing the blue button and put the sky3ds in the 3DS WHILE IT IS PRESSED. Once the sky3ds is in, keep the button pressed for 2 or 3 seconds and release it.
3. Remove sky3ds and put it back in the cartridge (don't press the button), it should start blinking rapidly.
4. Once blinking ends, remove it again and put it in again
5. It should show the game. If it doesn't, remove the game and put it in again.

Hope this helps ;)
