Hello all Tempers!

As the scene progresses, more projects will emerge. As more projects emerge, more threads will be made. In order to help the chaos and reduce the amount of multiple threads in the most popular topics, this post will combine said popular threads into an easy-to-read post.

First and foremost something has to be mentioned about hacking and homebrew in general. GBAtemp.net does not take any responsibility in case of problems with your devices. As quite a few options related to hacking can be pre-, alpha- or beta-releases, the end user (in other words, YOU) needs to know the risks. Even though the risks may be minimal in some cases, they still exist in any and all hacking related options.

http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/3DS_Flashcart_Comparison
There's this place with flashcart comparison.
The last working flashcarts are Gateway and Sky3DS, so compare both.

Just note: Nintendo recently added an anti-piracy check function to games that render Sky3DS incompatible.
As a result, currently 2 games are not working : Fire emblem and the new animal crossing.
Gateway is still working with all games, but require specific System (firmware) version.

Look at the chart.

yes, sky3ds with blue button can only play that game directly but we can play it with pasta cfw.
Besides, the 2nd generation product of sky3ds---double orange button sky3ds+ has already solved the problem, support all 3ds games including ap-check games with any FW, even the newest 10.7.0-32

I have a little question about SKY3DS+ V112...

the function "DEFAULT_GAMESAVE_KEY=" set my private header to the games automatically, right? okay then... but for the game to work properly, the 2 first characters from the cart ID have to be the same as the private header, right? if so, does that mean that, even with the automatic header setting, I would still have to set the cart id's manually?

thank you!

Hello, haven't put a finger on my 3ds for quite somewhile.
Currently sitting on 7.5sysnand and looking to update to arm9loaderhax. i found this guide https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki
Currently at "part 1" as it says downgrade to 9.2 in the next part, is it safe to assume i can do part 1 without any risks? really dont want to brick my 3ds.

Sorry if this was an obv question.

This isn't the thread to ask this question (ask in the noob paradise thread in the future) but you need to follow this guide to update to 9.2: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/9.2.0-Update

I am currently trying to install CFW in my N3DSXL running 11.2.0.35 via soundhax but I cannot seem to download the torrent files because there are no seeders. Is there a specific time or schedule the files are provided? I am following the 3dsguide. Or is there alternative way of downloading the files. I need the aeskeydb.bin, f.b.i. 2.4.2 Injectable.zip and the data-imput-v3.zip

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
