Just curious how I can do this for a game like Animal Crossing. I know it won't work with newer CARD2 titles like Pokémon, but something like Animal Crossing New Leaf will work.

I'd feel slightly better about going online with the Sky3DS if I can use my own header data, opposed to what's in their template, but when I tried simply copying a .3DZ file to my Sky, Pokémon was giving me the "save data corrupted" message.

*I was running it in Classic Mode from my Gateway so it would have been using the 4.x crypto on the save, meaning the only reason it's invalid is the header doesn't match.

SKY3DS DiskWriter rewrites ALL different ROMs of one game into a unique 3DZ which has a unique header written in the template.txt.

Try changing the template's header into your 3DZ header. But I don't know whether it works or not.

Yeah, I figured as much. Does someone know where the header is stored in the template? Like which specific section of it? Then I could easily just change the values to my own header.

the online portion is the entire line above the first line of FF FF FF FF
the manufacturer of the chip is the first 4 sets of BYTES after the first set of 00 00 00 00

    @_Ruri_, I'd rather give up
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @Xdqwerty, I guess. No places that sell screwdrivers around?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @_Ruri_, not that I remember
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Oof. Maybe supermarkets sell them?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @_Ruri_, mmaybe
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    They should be pretty common screwdrivers so there's a chance
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Don't know about the tri-wing screwdrivers though
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    They're basically Nintendo exclusive from what I know so no chance you're gonna find them in random physical stores
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    The normal cross ones you could though so you can probably take out the back cover
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @_Ruri_, they don't seem to be tri wing screws
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @Xdqwerty, You could have a chance to take out at least the back cover then

    Dunno about the insides though, never disassembled a 3ds
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Try checking out the iFixit guides

  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Huh according to the iFixit guides it doesn't seem like you need tri wing screwdrivers to disassemble the insides
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    That's pretty good news

  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Rest are standard Philips screwdrivers
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    And various spudgers but you could make-do with other stuff no problem
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    What's the issue again?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

    @Xdqwerty, Dunno if you'll read this but I finished reading the story, I love the humor lol, and the idea of an incompetent hero with a smart kid is really particular, haven't seen it around much. Their dynamic kinda reminds me of Manzai (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manzai) humor, pretty cool
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    A small flathead screwdriver that just fits in the center unscrews triwing screws with ease

    *yawn* lets see what was my last blog po- DECEMBER!?
  • lwiz @ lwiz:
    Triwings are often included in phone/console repair screwdriver sets as well - those available in hardware stores. Have to read what's included carefully. Got one myself without realising it first. Usually those with lots of separate bits, torx, phillips etc.
