    Hacking Youkai Watch 2 Update Question

    Thanks gamesquest. I knew the the carts were called ROM(Read Only Memory), so I was a bit confused about the alepman post. You explained it. I guess the updates get encrypted with the system device info, so you can't transfer the game updates. More work for the hackers....I mean the developers!

    Hacking Youkai Watch 2 Update Question

    I am not sure yet about the update already installed on the card. Do the game updates actually write data to the card or does it write to the SD? If it updated the card, I guess I can try dumping the ROM with my Gateway? This guy has the honke and ganso retail carts with JP 3ds so I guess it...

    Hacking Youkai Watch 2 Update Question

    I have a friend who has a Japanese 3DS XL with Youkai Watch 2 retail cart that I maybe be able to borrow. The question I have is, does the update get saved on the SD Card? If so, is it possible to just copy the update data, transfer it to a SD Card on a GW 3DS, and install the update?

    Hacking Where to get a firmware 4.5 or below 3DS XL?

    Thanks for the additional input. To make matters worse, my kid just updated the SYSNAND yesterday on my regular 3DS and now can not use Gateway:cry:. Luckily I made a backup of the SYSNAND last year and still have the file. I guess I will hard mod it to downgrade to 4.3. Lost a couple...

    Hacking Where to get a firmware 4.5 or below 3DS XL?

    Just an update. I received the unit today. It definitely shows 4.5U. Unfortunately, it may have been re-shelled. I see all the the visible screws were loosened/tightened. I tried a retail copy of Paper Mario Sticker Stars and it doesn't detect the cartridge most of the time. It's the same...

    Hacking Where to get a firmware 4.5 or below 3DS XL?

    Thanks for the input. That's what I thought because I remember shopping around crazy for a bundle with lower firmware for my kids Christmas present. I guess I will double check with the seller. Either way, I'm keeping this for myself once I check all functions are working accordingly.

    Hacking Where to get a firmware 4.5 or below 3DS XL?

    I just purchased a 3DSXL Mario and Luigi Dreamteam bundle used from ebay. I was kind of sceptacle, but the screenshot showed 4.5U. Is it possible for this bundle to have a 4.X firmware?

    Hacking Gateway PRIVATE BETA 2.3b

    I have a US 3DS with 8.1 emunand and can confirm Honke is working without installing the update. The only thing I noticed was it displayed a error message when attempting to write to SD card on initial launch. I ignored it I played about 30min into it and saved. Rebooted and the save was...

    Best flashcart(s) as of 2010?

    Acekard has probably the best bang for the buck. Never had trouble with it especially with AKAIO.
