My issue is complicated. I have an old 3ds, which I have 2 games I hack alot, pokemon moon (cartridge) and animal crossing (digital). Since 11.4 I was unable to homebrew it so I got powersave. Sadly I dont think im able to hack animal crossing new leaf which I really want to hack. So im not sure what to do to be able to hack new leaf. Should I get sky3ds, gateway, cubic ninja, some weird software idk. Any response from someone with knowledge to help my dilemma would help. Thank You!

You should really consider installing CFW with your 3ds, doing that you can easily do game hacking via NTR (or rosalina too?). But since you're on v11.4 already, the only ways to install CFW are to do a hardmod, dsiwarehax, or wait for ntrboothax.

Now if you insist on staying on OFW, using sky3ds+ is your best bet since you already have a powersave. download the new leaf rom and the pokemon moon rom and put it in the flashcart, then use the pokemon moon cartridge's private header with your sky3ds+ to play online without getting banned. You can use the powersave with the sky3ds+ to do some game hacking.

if you have acsses to a second hacked ds you could use that guide. https://3ds.guide/installing-boot9strap-(dsiware-game-injection) otherwise you have to wait for magnethax to be released.

If were to go with option 2, do you have a step by step guide on how to hack my digital animal crossing new leaf (btw its on a sd card) I'm fine on Pokemon moon since I know how to deal with power saving that cartiage, I just want to generate items and swap save files. Also I could get cfw but I don't want to defeat the purpose of powersaves, unless I'm reading this wrong, then please elaborate on CFW.

Since you are on ofw 11.4,you don't have many options unless you have dsiware for Zelda forswords. For more info read this guide 3ds.guide.

You still won't be able to hack digital games, you'd have to start over on the Sky.
If homebrew worked properly on 11.4 o3DS you'd be able to move your save over to the cartridge version but sadly that's not the case.

ok thanks I guess I have to get sky

I dont think this will help you. You still need access to a hacked 3ds to manipulate the save game. Sky3ds encrypts the game with its header like a original card does. You can backup it but it won't help you much without access to cfw.

The only benefit you would have is using prehacked saves from someone else.

i think your confused the sky3ds would not allow you to edit digital games save files in order to do that you would need cfw

sky is only a piracy cart all it does is emulate one game card at a time
cfw is piracy with the highest level of homebrew possible allowing full control of all things installed on your system including but not limited to gamefiles/themes/savefiles you can even use ntr (a cheat program)

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    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.

    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
