did you get your device yet?, if so i was wondering if you were able to launch the device on version 6.00?
So you finally used this? Did you got the activation key you were waiting for?
Yeah, it works and I have received the US key from Datel. Can also use it to backup saves as well. Unable to detect Animal Crossing and Pokemon X/Y
Have you tested the software with saves created by Gateway 3DS? It would be interesting to check if those could be altered as well. In case you haven't, I could lend you a couple of save files.
I could
I could try it probably, what games are the Saves for? Any for Animal Crossing or Pokemon X?
So does this thing actually decrypt the saves? It seems weird that they'd have "powersaves" if they haven't decrypted the save format...
Wait, what?
Either the save will work or it won't, I'm not talking about what the actual save contains. If they're able to take a save made with a different game card than yours, and make it run on your game card, they obviously know how to decrypt the saves...
Um, I could be asking you the same thing.
3DS uses encrypted save files, making it the first Nintendo handheld to do so. There was already a database for the R4i save dongle - however, 99% of those saves are completely useless because nobody has figured out the encryption, and as such it will just say your save is corrupted and erase it.
The XOR decryption only works for games requiring firmware less than 2.x (I forget the exact revision)
That's only a very small number of launch titles. Nothing like Fire Emblem is in that group.
The majority of saves on R4i's site are for games too new to work with XOR decryption. I've tried them myself and they don't work. I know it's not *actually* 99%, that was an exaggeration.
All I was asking is if Datel figured out the newer save encryption. All we know how to do is the simple XOR encryption which works on a very small amount of games, and certainly not any of the more popular titles.
