I'd definitely like to see "Dragon Quest Monsters 2: Iru to Ruka no Fushigina Fushigina Kagi" and the new Harvest Moon dumped! Kirby would have also been good but I got impatient and bought that already :P


Also, http://3ds.essh.co/ says Yoshi's New Island has been dumped, but I thought it wasn't out until the 14th :S

The purpose of this thread isn't so people can suggest future games to be dumped. It's just to let people know when games are dumped. Until MT-card and/or Gateway have their game card dump features widespread, chances are it'll only be the people in these underground scenes that will be doing the dumping.

Also, many games, movies, albums, etc. are dumped before their official release.

3DS-0293 - Happy_Feet_Two_EUR_3DS-VENOM - after completing game once I've been trying to get all the gold coins. On the level 3.4 game crashes every time I try to break an ice pillar. It freezes and pops up the message, that an error has appeared and I have to restart 3DS (with possibility of save's lost). After getting into GW mode (the last beta one) I am suprised to see, that my progress has been recorded ;P

have you tried formating the micro sd card and rewriting the rom back to it? had a similar issue with another game quite a while back... every time I entered a specific location, game crashed... formated the card and wrote the image back to it and then it all worked, looks lime some data on it got corrupted

I'll try it. To be sure I haven't reformatted sd lately. Just rewrote it 2 days ago.

Reformatted - still freezes :( Anyway I'm not going to finish it on 100%.

if someone could test a 32GBit game and report back that would be great
as they dump to the SD i dont think they will dump
due to the File size limit of the SD card

Found this post from Snailface...

Interesting, when you backup a large game (4GB), it splits the file into two 2GB parts with extensions .3D0 and .3D1

GW also patches the game file at 0x1200 (16 bytes - hash data maybe) and 0x1240 (8 bytes - id data maybe). In both places, the normal internet release has FF's.

Btw, I tried creating a backup of a microSD with a raw game on it - just for fun.
That was before I updated the fpga.
It was able to read the serial, but failed to read any game data.
It created 8 2GB files on the SD (.3D0 - .3D7) => 128Gbit / 16GB.

strange they would add some data
but maybe its for the Gateway
its only added to the header which is in plain text
making me think this is them personally adding it as other items (e.g Save tool and Datel) dump the full header when connected to the PC and they match the rom dumps

if there adding Data to the header is does mean that they arnt scene dumps and all these ones appearing today done by it should be nuked LOL

at first glance on my Pokemon X save file (which is all FFs),
I come to the conclusion that the save is saved onto the rom.

Like how nand saves are done. (though I thought it was strange how I still have a save file in my 3ds-sd)

PS: I'm annoyed because KIRIN's X torrent ain't running...

From the gateway release info:

If you notice any slight differences with existing dumps out there, you might be correct. This is because our dumps are more thorough than any “scene” dumps currently out there. Again, future proofing our product for what’s yet to come!

So they are claiming they are dumping info that is being skipped by scene dumpers. It could of course be a lie and could be added by the dumper, but a similar thing happened with DS roms back in the day, where parts of the header were going undumped, and correct dumps only started to be made later on.

lol it is a lie as mentioned above
the games are signed, so if any data was missing or wrong, they just wouldnt play (hence why we cannot edit or patch anything)

they added data to the header in the non checked padding area just to make it look different
meaning all the games dumped with it are not clean rips

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • 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)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
