It's a bug. Whatever you do, format your emunand first, and if you want extra security, after you formant emunand, take out your internal sdcard and format sysnand to unlink them. Then boot back into gateway, make sure you're in gateway by making use of icon-arrangement/folders and go into settings, you'll be in emunand if you did everything correctly but the GW sign may or may not be there. Mine showed up after I did these steps. Such a lewd avi btw :lol:

Pretty sure they are the same just have different boxart. They have same product code on the cartridges. You can play in French Spanish or English with the us version. Just need to set the language in the system menu.

You would have had to have pressed "update"
Why would you even have WIFI turned on? You don't need wifi to do this exploit. :unsure:

If you do this please feel free to let me know.
Is there even a rev01 in North America?
Does Canada have a different save offset? I would think the cart would be different since we have french here. I wonder if I need to buy a non-bilingual version.

Welp, I finally figured out how to restore the save to my Sky.

I'm not sure where I got it from, but I was using a version of diskwriter labeled as version 1.07. This version does not exist—the latest version that's on the Sky3DS website is version 1.06b.

I have no idea where I got 1.07 from (which squares me a little—it could have been a virus!), but it's perfectly able to write games and backup saves. However, it doesn't seem to be able to properly restore saves—trying to restore the gateway save always resulted in a "save data is corrupted" message, or a white screen.

I switch to version 1.06b from Sky's website, and what do you know, everything works perfectly the first time! I'm guessing most people won't run into this problem, but figured maybe it would help someone. It took me the better part of a day to figure this out.



DiskWriter 1.07 is acutally a beta version that don't have the restore save game feature. I'm sure you got it from GBAtemp because thats where I got it from.

Ah, well thanks for clearing that up, I was wondering. Explains why the save games weren't working too!

Just ask 2Hack and VinsCool to send him a 6 pack of pepsi.
Sure, but depends where he is, but if it too far, I'll gladly send this dude a goodie bag :)

My OoT3D is at home, but I've been out all day, and won't have time to try it for another 3 ish hours, so I'm honestly really grateful sonic set this up so I'm not stressed out with which version in on.

Oh, and a 6 pack is insanity. One Pepsi is enough from me :)

Can someone explain to me why there are 2 sets of saves in the OP, Sky3DS saves and GW saves? Didn't GW already provide the save files for "save restore from GW" on their website?
Also, I tried this using my NA Sky3DS and Contrast OoT, it loads in to the room and after waiting awhile and pressing A, the top screen goes black and the bottom becomes... an offwhite color. Trying now with a different, smaller, SD card.

The alternate saves are for the versions of the carts that cannot run the GW provided saves. Some of the additional saves are buffers, if you will, in case one of the saves do not work in a particular instance.

I am not sure if this has been asked, and I don't think I have the patience to look through 49 web pages to find out. But I need to know, is this method exclusive to the New 3DS systems? I have 2 original 3DS XLs.
