Hacking Sky 3Ds+ private header - update ROM or not?

[markmcrobie]

I've looked through these boards and Google and have found conflicting info:

If I get a private header, all I need to do is update the game's .cfg file on the SD card, right? Or do I need to use a ROM patcher tool as well to insert the private header into the ROM?

That's all you should need to do on a sky3DS+. Also, you'll end up losing your save file btw.

So no actual ROM patching then?

I can live with losing my save files, I just got the New 3DS and Sky 3DS+ so I have no save files to keep!

Or do you mean I'll lose them every time I play online?

No ROM patching.

And what I meant is if you already had saves. You won't lose them everytime you play online.

Great thanks, so it really is a one-time effort to edit a .cfg file for each game?

Is it worth doing every game anyway, or is there a list of games that actually have online multiplayer somewhere?

If you have V112 on your Sky3DS+, you can just add it your settings.txt, using/adding the line: "DEFAULT_GAMESAVE_KEY=(your private header)"

If you want to do it manually, you could use this guide:

Thanks. If there's no advantage to doing it manually, I'll stick to the easy method! (I have firmware v112)
