Can I spoof firmware version to 6.X or 4.X ?
If yes, someone has the hex values for these firm versions ?

 

[night_hawk]

Not sure about 6.X, for 4.X it's 2102

 

[RainThunder]

It was mentioned somewhere in this thread: http://3dbrew.org/wiki/FIRM#Variations

For example: FIRM version for 4.0 is 2.33 (0x0221 in hexadecimal).

Do I need to do that exhead xorpad? Can't I just convert 3ds to cia? If I don't do it, how's different?

 

[night_hawk]

Uh? That's for fw spoof the updates. If you have to convert a retail game to CIA just use the program and check the fw spoof box if you need it

Thanks guys !

@Riku
"Added zero-key encrypted ROM support, no xorpad required."

I tried with a decrypt rom (decrypted using D9), but your tool is always asking me for xorpads.
Could you add support for fully decrypted rom?

Can someone explain the fw spoof. obviously its in the description but can someone explain what and how does it spoof for example. Does it trick the console into thinking that the needed fw for a particular cia is the spoof version required. How exactly does the spoof work, its not explained clearly anywhere. I thought rxtools and gw enand take care of this problem so cant understand the point of it.

tldr
Exactly what is (fw spoofing) spoofing and to where, and why is it useful?

also whats the best fw spoof version?

There's required firmware (kernel) version value stored in every game. 3DS checks this value during boot and if it's higher than your system menu version you'll face black screen error. FW spoof, basically, overwrites this value, but only if original value exceeds the one you entered (if original value is lower comparing to one you entered, it'll be left untouched). There's no best FW spoof version, just go as high as you can. 3DS performs additional configuration based on this value so spoofing to very low version most likely result in non-working CIA.

so the best version to spoof is 10.3?

Is it normal, that it wont work with .3dz-files?

 

[Zidapi]

Used this yesterday the first time, it was fast and incredibly easy to use.

So I just wanted to say thanks for making this.

 

[Coffee Prosecutor]

Nevermind, I am effing stupid. Thanks for making this great tool!

Everything went smooth but now the game (Style Boutique 2) won't load, it hangs in the 3DS loading screen. What did I do wrong? Maybe it's related to firmware check? I'm on 9.2 and the game requires 9.9. I did check the spoof box with 2E02.

EDIT: Just tried with another game (AC:HHD) and it works perfectly. Hmm...

EDIT2: Tried Style Boutique 2 again and no dice. I noticed that the icon looks messed up though, it's missing the name of the game. What happened here? (pic for comparison)

Does the .cia file need to remain on the SD card after the game has been installed onto the console?

no

 

[Divi]

So with this tool we can spoof new games to work in 9.2 right?

Just thank you. This soft is the simplest. Everything works for me.
