Hacking 10.4+ and Flashcart compatability confirmination

[Gemini Rotus]

So after reading a couple pages from different resellers and the official website, Sky3DS claims that their flashcart works on firmware 10.5, but the thing is that I can't find ANYTHING confirming this is true.

The only thing close to something as much as a conclusion is a couple of YouTube videos running the card on the firmware. Why am I still sketchy on this? All of the videos were all uploaded by the same user, and there is no other users, so far, that has uploaded any credible proof of this, nor I can find any other articles besides some websites who haven't confirmed it for themselves.

So I ask this for anyone here who has any new flash cartridge or have a general idea on the legitimacy of these resellers:

Is there currently any flashcart that is fully compatible with Firmware 10.4 and above?
And if the answer is yes, please inform me where to look for it (from US resellers only) and please give me some comparisons so I can get a good idea of which one should I pick over the other.

(Including running 3DS games, DS games, classic emulators including GBA and so on)

Please, be serious... Sky3ds doesn't use an exploit so it works on every firmware

I have a 3dsxl 10.5 got a sky3ds+ works like a champ. Pop it in and game shows up just like a real deal cartrige.
FYI need to get a scan disc micro sd. I tried a Samsung and Kingston and don't work

Well sorry for me not knowing anything about something I've never even owned, but thanks anyway.

Wow, thank you so much for confirming, I really needed to be real careful on this. Where did you buy your card from, if you don't mind me asking?

(Also thanks for letting me know about the SD card. I know you meant to say SanDisk, I used Kingston twice and both of them corrupted both my card AND the card adapter, never gonna make that mistake again.)

Can confirm; sky3DS is the only flashcart option for 10.4+ users.

You can downgrade from 10.4 and run a CFW, but a sky3ds is the simplest solution if all you want to do is pirate games

Just note that Sky3DS can't be used to pirate eShop games, only games that are released on cart (might be possible with CFW I guess, but at that point Sky is just a glorified tool to run CN, OoT or Smash for homebrew, unless you -really- need the space savings..).

Yeah, but I can't afford to break my system on any terms.

Not that big of a loss, I guess. Can it run DS carts and emulators any good?

No, it only pretends to be a 3DS cartridge, nothing more. If you want homebrew stuff you'll need to pirate Ocarina of Time 3D, Smash Bros. or Cubic Ninja with it (or use Browserhax with the Internet Browser). Nintendo DS stuff isn't possible with Sky3DS.

N3ds fw 9.2 with CFW 10.5 (eshop game) + Sky3ds+ (3ds game) + dstwo (GBA, NES, DS game) = best combo.

Well, I don't even own a Sky3DS and I already know stuff about it. Like how it's already had three revisions, works on all firmwares without using an exploit, can't play modified roms, can't play eShop games, etc.

It's just a copy of a regular 3DS cartridge. Nothing more, nothing less.

I got mine from modchipcentral.com only takes a couple days

....N3DS CFW 10.5+GBA + SNES retroarch + DSTWO for DS.....for 3ds games ....with CIA Installed you dun need Sky3ds for NOTHING ( i have a blue button taking dust on his box)

greetings!!!

I can confirm my r4 3ds clone (r4 xds 2015 7.1) to be working in 10.5.0-30 emunand and sysnand using cakes_114. In emunand, exiting the flashcart forces a reboot but it's working. The flashcart incorpores an in game reset function and is working flawless. It's Acekard RPG based.

 

[Lucifer666]

i have the blue button sky, works like a charm on 10.5

for homebrew and emulators look into some of the stuff like ninjahax (you can use your Sky to emulate cubic ninja)

for NDS stuff you need a supported NDS flashcart

Is this a miss type ?, I thought 10.3 was the highest you cold downgrade from due to memhax 2 being patched ?

Downgrading from 10.4-10.5 to 10.3 requires a hardmod.

yeah if you have time to install cia and want to break your N3ds screw, sure, just do that. N3ds backplate's screw just make to open in several time, when you want to change battery, sd card, that's all. If you break that, good luck finding another one.

Sky3DS is a waste of money. Pay someone to do a hardmod and downgrade for you (will cost less than a Sky), and you can play all the games that you could play with Sky plus way, way more. And have full control over your system and not be at the mercy of Nintendo finding a new type of AP that Sky can't get around.

You never have to unscrew the backplate, use NASA+Houston or FBI+SocketPunch to install over wifi.
