Hacking 3DS rom dump info

[Vengenceonu]

i believe its a save issue

maybe its a NAND save

possibly. But further testing needs to be done before it can be confirmed.

Monster_Hunter_4_JPN_3DS-Kirin - thank you Nin ;P

Gateway needs to fix the nand save.
Hope they manage to do so.
Otherwise we are stuck at the shit

Just found this on PS3Crunch:



Can anyone confirm monster hunter 4 works?

Maybe it's related with the new system update:

3DS Update 6.3.0-12:

System Stability​

1 new item added to the Save data blacklist​

​

In the same thread you can read this:

My friend just checked, the game added to blacklist is Monster Hunter 4 (Japan) - comes out there today.

So basically Nintendo's found a way to block all future games...

It's quite simple actually they just created a new file in romfs which is called dummy.txt which MH4 checks for. The file is not present in 4.x so the game won't run (although the file only has '0' in it, no actual functionality). I doubt gateway can overcome this, since they can only use ROPs to use system features, which are unlikely able to write to romfs. In other words, Ninty's good themselves some pretty effective AP already.

isn't ROP used to get access to kernel?
once you have full access to kernel, you can do what you want (like launching homebrew, redirecting saves to SD, writing files, spoofing functions return values, etc.)

Spoofing the "check firmware" is easy, it's a function you force to always return the same value.
Spoofing the "check the file's content" is maybe harder, as you can't force that function to always return the same value, you need to know which file it's currently reading or you'll end with game not working. I suppose you need to monitor the RAM or rewrite the functions to intercept this dummy.txt file. I don't know if it's easy or possible to do (should be possible, you just need to know what you are doing).

The list is now up to 419, including six new NA releases, one of them well-anticipated.

Wow, team Venom is still alive. They havent dumped a US rom since 346 (luigi's mansion dark moon) which was 60 roms ago.

Hi guys, do you know why no dump of Inazuma 3 Europe or USA ? Also no dump of New Style Boutique 3DS.

 

[Vengenceonu]

On 3ds.essh.co, the Imgcrc for Shin Megami Tensei Devil summoner is wrong. It say's 3776BDDB instead of 3776DBBD

Hi guys, sorry if im OOT. Do you know where to request ROM dump? I really want to play Digimon Redigitize Decode. I wish someone dump that game ROM.

There's no way to request a ROM dump.
Release groups do their own dumps when they want or when they can.

And please don't request a rom link here. GBATemp is not a file sharing forum.

Ok. Thanks for the info. Im not requesting a rom link. Are you refering to other post?

 

[Cyan]

It was just in prevision of possible link posting, as you wanted a specific ROM dump I thought it would be best to remember that you can't ask for link (when the dump will be available) and that users shouldn't share website names where you can find them.

I should try wiring up a 3DS dumper myself just to play RF4 and not need to update... Anyone know what firmware RF4 USA requires?

 

[gha_razor]

Rune Factory 4 and Etrian Oddysey Untold is released

just hope that it still work with gateway current version

It would be useless to request dumps here anyway. Its not like scene groups are skimming these pages to take requests. And no you can't contact them -- they want to stay anonymous for obvious reasons.

Just wait till gateway releases their backup feature. Then the gaps in the scene release list will quickly close up.

Damn, rune factory 4 USA has 5.1 firmware... I still really hope it works! This means I can't just go buy it now because I'm impatient

Has anyone test this out?

Edit : Rune factory works.
