Hacking [Guide] Everything under the Sky3DS

[chaoticlogic]

I just tired it with Mario Kart, got the corrupted save and all. I saw a post that said, to check to see if your private header was injected correctly, then to look at the save via HxD to see if your private header appears there. Mine did not. Another reason I think I injected it wrong is because I was able to go online with MK7 even thought the manufacturer for is is C2 and the header from Steel Diver is 45...I'm so confused xD sorry for being so problematic. Is there a way you can run me through the process of injecting the private header I got from powersaves?

No prob.
Do you have a header.bin or just you header values?
You will need to make a .bin of your header to be able to inject it.. but I think you did know that..
Just open no ban no sky, Load your .bin header, load the sky3ds template and check the "all games" box (dont load any rom) and ta-da.. done

 

[chaoticlogic]

But when I do that, what about the differences between my manufacturer being 45 and other games being C2? For example, Mario Kart 7 is C2 and my 45 header works...that's why I'm worried. Also my brand new save data in HxD doesn't have the same private header as the one I injected it with (starting all from scratch, formatted and everything.)
I'm being so specific because I don't want to get banned again haha.

The header is just to play online safe,
The chip id that maters and you can edit it, actually it isn necessary to edit if you are using a sky3ds template, just inject your header to it (maybe you have to edit it in some games to match the rom you are loading)
But if you are still geting an diferent save then someting is wrong with your template..
You didnt do it right..

Lets try this one... make a copy of your template and delete everything minus mk7. Copy your header and paste it there.
Load this template in diskwriter and do that thing to get a corrupt save. Lets see if this work.
If everything goes right then you didnt inject your header right in no ban no sky

 

[chaoticlogic]

Sigh, that didn't work either. I must be doing something wrong, but I don't see what. I do have the .bin file for my private header.

When you open up a new save from the rom you just injected the private header to, should the private header show up in the .sav? If so, where?

Hey I am going to be getting this soon and want to know if I can save within the games like I can do with other nintendo roms? I know about that switching games saves the eeprom (sp?) which I know to back up on my computer but am afraid it will delete all saves if I add in more games on the sd card I have (16 gb) is there anyway around this?

Hm sorry, I dont get it..
If you backup a save and delete the game to add another, there is no problem to restore this save to its rom in the future.. you wont lost them.

Yes. It should look like this:

The red line is your private header

I keep hearing about corrupt saves when changing games I asked if there is a way to just save in game on the rom and load it back when I go to play a saved game like normal. Is the eeprom like a savestate that emulators use?

Hm I never heard of it. And I didn't even get a corrupt save just by switching games...
You will get a corrupt save just if you try to restore a save file that isnt yours (from another sky3ds) or if you try to edit it using some hex editor (like HxD)

Thanks for clearing that up. I am new to flashcarts that why I asked I'd hate to be playing and save then go back to it later to find the save file is gone/corrupt playing a rpg game.

Well just dont forget to do this everytime you write/delete a game or backup/restore a save and you will be fine

And if you want to backup a save, skip the game that you want to restore (by pressing the button while it is inserted on 3ds), then its save will be saved on sd card

I got it to work! Thanks so much kb, it was a bit of trial and error. Must of been something I did wrong at first, but last night I was absolutely exhausted from a long day, my brain was working wrong haha.

Haha good to hear it

Ok so I need some help with this. I've managed to create Legend of Legacy template but its only 95% complete. I can get the ROM to write, but I can't seem to get it to load. Unless someone with gateway or some sorcery can do something about the Unknown ID. Seriously Sky people are so fucking slow with their template updates. It's like it's so fucking hard to make an online database for them and just add it to it so people can download the template as a whole or only copy paste the new template.

I have .3ds files of the Euro versions of the 3D Sega classics available from the eShop, but am unable to write these to my mSD, what am I missing? I have the most recent template, 1005?

You cant run eshop games on sky3ds...

D'oh.

First of all, Sorry if this has been answered before.
How long do we hold the blue button when we first insert it?
I tried 2-5sec but I rarely get flashes after I reboot it. I seen it flash two times already in my life but no Roms show up.
Micro sd card issue because I'm using a class 4 one?

Edit: ive already tested with Omega Ruby EU and Cubic Ninja EU. (Cubic Ninja is just for lolz and for homebrew
I have a Old3DS with latest firmware 10.1.0-27E

Yep maybe the problem is your sd card. The first time that I tested my sky3ds I used 3 diferents mSD cards to get it working. Only my 32gb sandisk class 10 worked fine..

From their site

Initial SKY3DS:
Power on your 3ds console , hold to press red/blue button with finger, insert to 3DS Slot with your sky3ds , it will not display any game icon on screen. Pull out sky3ds and insert to 3DS again , the LED light will flashing fast, the game icon still doesn’t display. Again, pull out sky3ds and insert to 3DS, LED light flashing and turn off in few seconds, this means the first game save data has been read EEPROM normally from MicroSD card, you can play to enjoy it.
