Hacking DSiWare Downgrade with almost ANY DSiWare Game!

[RanKonkon]

@Akira Simple ds VOL. 5 is still on the eshop btw since you were wondering (in the JPN one that is.)

Can I just say that this is the pimpinest thing that ever pimped? Nintendo starts getting out of line with bans, removing games from eShop, issuing bounties, and just being a generally unruly ho.

Mack Daddy Plailect swaggers into the room, yells "SHUT UP BITCH!!" and smacks Nintendo into the fcking ground.

I just tried this method and used system transfer from my O3DS to my N3DS. After the transfer Sudoku does not appear in the main menu of the N3DS, however, other games that were transferred do show up. When I go to Data Management/System Memory I see Sudoku listed there, it just won't show up in the main menu. Any idea what went wrong?

Both consoles are EU region.

Did you put source sd card into target 3ds?
And have you checked all folders etc? Could be a cache thing aswell

There are so many variations of Sudoku on the eShop. Is this the one?

For some odd reason I the picture posting doesn't work and now I see these weird tags below my message.

Just got them removed somehow. Seems like a glitch with the site.

Yup, there are games on the list that has 16kb public.sav, some of them are the ART DECODE & G.G game.

Yeah, that list is trash. You will need to download the game on freeshop and check the save file size with FBI or something.

Even after that, it looks like region is being enforced on dsi titles for some reason (but its a-ok to inject the wrong game lol) so sudoku won't work. For JPN, I recommend hunting down Legends of Exidia somewhere and using that. It has a 128KB save and approx. 10MB app file so your options will be more limited, but at least it should work.

Try PHANTASY STAR 0 Mini. Frozen from discord told me that it's public.sav is big enough to inject the savedata.bin cheaper too(he said, i haven't check)

Akira, can you tell me if a single EUR or JPN title has been transferred successfully using this method and with sudoku as the injected game?

I can't say for both. For JPN, i just tried one(@SIMPLE DS Vol.5 Game) and after the system transfer, though the game is visible on the homescreen, it cannot be opened. I tried rebooting the console and afterwards the game is missing. Though it's still visible if you check Data Management>DsiWare(2 cases like this in discord including mine). For EUR, Frozen said it's working though I can't say since I haven't tried it yet.

For the PHANTASY STAR 0 Mini game, no one tried doing an actual system transfer yet. It's just another game that meets the criteria given by the guide so it's another test to be done by someone who can do/who want's to do it.

From what I see, the best test to see if an injected game can actually transfer is to export then import the injected game with an unhacked, clean firm. Then boot it also with clean firm to see if it works.

This here is a handy little thing I use to test things (with a9lh only) it launches a clean, unpatched firm as mentioned above. Run it as a payload with luma3ds: sd:/luma/payloads/<here>

I'll test your theory tomorrow night. I'm going to bed and just got a dsi game with the correct save space. Actually maybe ill do it at work tomorrow at lunch instead

Actually I think hazel from discord tried this method, although a little different and tedious, here's the method she sent me:

basically you ctrtransfer back to 9.2 with decrypt9, uninstall a9lh, use ctr-httpwn via browserhax whenever you need to get on eshop (or freakyhax if you have a sky3ds or something)
then whenever you're done testing or need cfw to do something, reinstall a9lh.

i managed to move it from my sd to nand but it's not showing up: presumably because it's unsigned code and OFW doesn't like that, so it hides it

Nintendo could always just drop DSiWare support in a future 3DS revisioning, just like the DSi dropped GBA support. Then we'd have to rely on only 3DS eShop and cart games and any possible system flaws left to exploit.

It will be a long time until there's a future hand-held revision, remember the Switch is coming next year.
