Hello.
I want to get a private header for my Sky3DS i'm getting but since I have the latest software (9.7.0-25 on N3DS), I have heard I can't use the gateway method to get a private header.

I have read on this forum that the user WulfyStylez said that it's possible to get a header by using memory dump, but the guide she/he gave was pretty vague and I have no idea what to do.

I don't know anyone who has a 3DS too, so using someone else's 3ds would be no option.

Are there any solutions to this?

If there is no solution at all, I would be willing to send a trusted dutch member of this forum a cartridge of a 3DS game to make a private header for me.

If this question has been asked too many times and/or this thread doesnt belong here, feel free to delete or move this.

So far there's only two methods of extracting a private header (That I'm aware of, I may be wrong)

  1. Gateway Launcher to dump a cartridge (9.2.0 or lower required, cubic ninja required for N3DS)
  2. PowerSaves 3DS
Your best options, Buying another member a cart.. and having them dump it then destroy it. (this could be really cheap, because ebay and stuff)
Sending someone one of your cartridges.
Or Powersaves (this is the most expensive option, unless you already have a powersaves 3ds dongle)

Thank you very much.

I have three other questions:

Are people still getting banned for public headers?

Does it matter which power save I have? There seem to be multiple versions.

And where on this forum can I ask for somebody to send one of my cartridges to to make a private header?

As far as I know, people will always get banned for public headers.. But so far I think the bans are only 15 days or so.

PowerSaves and PowerSaves Pro are the exact same product, they just have been marketed for different regions.

And where on this forum can I ask for somebody to send one of my cartridges to to make a private header?

If you had 100 posts I would say the trading forum, but I guess you'll just have to find someone who's trusted and located near you.

Pretty sure you can dump carts using the GW menu without a GW cart... haven't tried it in a while, but I don't think it's a protected feature.

I'm a little confused too, can anyone help me?

I wanna extract the private header from a cartridge of mine, my 3ds is on 8.x.x.x

I'm aware that i need to put the gateway file on the Sdcard of system and backup my game, but how do i proceed after that?

Put launcher.dat on the root of your sd, on your console go to go.gateway-3ds.com and it will load the launcher
then select the dump cartridge option

once you have dumped it you will have a file on your sd called XXXX.3ds (xxxx is the title code)
open it with gateway rom patcher on your computer and select "export header to file"

  • 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

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
