Hi,

Let me honest by saying I am a noob. My 3DS XL is running on 10.7.0-32U. I am using the Sky3DS+; I am unable to play online - Pokemon OR as it throws an error. I read somewhere about the requirement of some "private header". Is this still required? Could somebody please let me know the procedure for the same?

Thank you!

Yes, it's still required, but it's pretty easy to do on Sky3DS+.
If your Sky3DS+ is on latest firmware (v112) then you only need to open settings.txt and put your private header on the DEFAULT_GAMESAVE_KEY field.
I'm not sure, but I think you'll have to restart your savefile afterwards.

That's why you dump your save first with SVDT and then inject it back into the rom

My other query is the save file - if I do this tweaking of private headers; what happens to my save file? Will I have to start all over from again?

Is possible to inject the save file back, but it may cause u to have the same error. (happened to me)

If u plan on getting the private header you will need a powersaves device or a downgrade to a 9.2.

An alternative would be asking someone to dump it for u, u can buy them a cheap game for it.

Thanks for your reply.

1. How do I extract the save file and then re-inject this later?

2. How do I extract private header from an original game?

3. How do I add this private header to the .3ds file?

Thanks for your help :)

1. You need to use a homebrew save manager to extract the save and then reinject it, this way it won't give you an error when going online with the new header.

2. Since you're on 10.7 you'll need a Powersaves device, then follow this tutorial: https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-get-your-private-header-using-powersaves.385511/

3. There's a settings.txt file on the sky3DS+'s microSD card, copy your private header and paste under DEFAULT_GAMESAVE_KEY. This will apply the private header to all games, so you have to backup and restore all savefiles.
If you just want to play Pokémon OR online then open the config file for Pokémon OR and paste the private header under GAMESAVE_KEY.

Okay, so, I just got an SD card reader to see the MicroSD card, and it has a .SAV file. Is this the file? Do I still need this homebrew save manager to extract and inject?

Yes. Because the .sav file is encrypted and is using the public header.
Use the save manager to extract the decrypted savefile.
You then apply the private header and let sky3ds+ create a new savefile with it.
And finally you inject the decrypted savefile back with the save manager

You actually need to make sure a .cfg is made of the 3ds rom so you can check if the private header actually went into each game, otherwise you have to do it manually.
