Hacking (4.x only) CIA CFW Complete Guide

[ilollo360]

If you used my 7.X guide, there was an error in the "rename *Main.exh.xorpad exh.xorpad" line in the unpack-makerom batch files. Replace it with
"rename *.Main.exheader.xorpad exh.xorpad" (or take the new version here https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-converting-3ds-to-cia-for-dummies.373722/#post-5149679 )

Ok now i corrected it and I got Super Smash Bros converted but when I try to start it stays stuck on Nintendo3DS logo

I finally got Fire Emblem Awakening to work, I used this RSF.

Compile the unpacked rom to cci, inject the original exheader into repacked rom with this, then convert to cia like it says in the link.

Has Palantine's CFW received any updates in the last few days?

I hope him is working on it yet

Can you use a dump of the latest NAND from a hardware mod?

 

[Haloman800]

After a game is installed, could I then loan the gateway to my nephew and still play the game without it?

Depends on whether the game uses 7.x keyX or not.

It's only made to work with 4.1 to 4.5, it'll need some patching before it works with anything else

Super Smash Bros is the only game I care about. Will it work with this?

Nope, sorry, you need the Gateway cart to play that.

 

[Haloman800]

Ugh. Thank you team MT-Card.

What is this exploit good for? Games using 4.5 and under?

 

[Vappy]

Games using SDK 5.x and under, more specifically, for example Pokemon X and Y work.

Is there a list of games 5.X and under, or a certain date when new games all used 6.X ?

 

[Vappy]

No quick online reference I don't think, but you can probably assume anything that came out around or after Smash is probably out. If you open up the .3ds in 3DSExplorer and check the Plain region, you can find out which SDK version that ROM used.

Check the updates they're packed with:

So, the 9.X video I say was fake.

 

[AHP_person]

So, the 9.X video I say was fake.

9.x works with Gateway "Omega" 2.6.

 

[gudenau]

9.x works with Gateway "Omega" 2.6.

It was out before Gateway 2.6.

 

[Vappy]

So, the 9.X video I say was fake.

Gateway supports 9.x, and at least a few people have privately updated their CFW to support latest firmware, but from what any of them have said about it the chances of a release is very slim to none
