Hacking Editing Ticket.db

[Xenosaiga]

I'm just curious if anybody has found out any way to edit the ticket.db?

I know that it can be done, I'm just not sure how. If anybody has any idea I would like to know. Thanks for any ideas!

This is now an obstacle for some devs. Unfortunately there isn't any present.
The DB files, including title.db, and others, aren't that clear in their structure.
If you have patience you may open up a thread/conversation to experiment.. to contribute to reveal that.
Good luck if you want so, and you may contact @d0k3 for tips.
Dump. Check CIA ticket. Install. Dump. Revert Old. Check CIA. Install another. Dump. Compare.

Can tickets be deleted for certain cia games? Or is it even more complicated than that?

That's what I was asking about

Did you buy/install legit dlc and now you have to reinstall a cia dlc pack for it every time you access nnid services? Cause that's what happened to me...

No. I'm literally just curious about editing the ticket.db and how I could go about doing so.

No, not yet. I'll give you a starting point and some remarks, though.

Seconding that .

You'd have a lot of work ahead. You need a hardmod, and you need to do a ton of (possibly unsuccessful) experiments. Take a look at this GitHub repo. Also get informed on 3Dbrew.

titledb-get is 100% not perfect. It is buggy and the code is ugly, but it gives you a good picture of how these databases (title.de, ticket.db) need to be parsed. You'll need to go ahead from there (ie. rewrite the code to actually remove stuff and keep your fingers crossed it works). From 3Dbrew, you'll notice, there are a lot of 'unknown' values, and their description doesn't even encompass the whole file. So, my best bet is, it will most likely never be advisable to edit your databases without a hardmod.

I hope you prove me wrong, though.

@d0k3 well I can go ahead and just cut it short by saying I don't have a hard mod... And I'm gonna leave the experimenting to someone that has coding know how.

I don't have one either . Also, this might be futile, but never say never.

Well, if you have any ideas I'm willing to at least try



Edit: Actually I looked at the stuff you linked in you earlier post and I have no idea what the 3Dbrew page is even saying

If you want to delete tickets, just wait for a FBI update. IIRC Steveice10 reverse-engineered and documented am:net functions about tickets.

Well that pretty much does 67% of what I was wanting to do.

What are the other 33% ?

Adding titles without having to install to 3ds?

I'll think about it for a bit, alright? Not sure if I can come up with soemthing, though.

 

[VeryCrushed]

I think I'll take a look into it as well, have been meaning to look into it for a while now just haven't gotten to it.

So, you mean installing tickets ? I think that there are methods for that in am:net too.

This could be a major breakthrough in making a "Universal Ticket" that would go perfectly with GroovyCIA by @Ptrk25.

A ticket that has all titles!

Bump this thread.

I just found that, if you had ever installed a CIA, even you uninstalled it / formatted NAND, the fake ticket still remained in your ticket.db.
If you made your EmuNAND in this condition, you can still re-create a brand new emuNAND from SysNAND to vanish all fake tickets.
If you made your SysNAND in this condition and no backup, those fake tickets would never disappear unless you System Transfer them to another console's emuNAND.
If you could not do that (e.g. your NAND with many Mii Plaza achievements infected a fake ticket by System Transfer to a target which has fake ticket), you have to wait for someone develop a ticket.db editor.

A ticket can only contain data for one title. Also, there's still no way to get titlekeys for arbitrary titles.

Or you'll have to wait at least until someone makes use of the DeleteTicket am command.
