N3DS - dump tickets and moveable.sed + backup a copy of N3DS folder; or load up decrypt9wip and decrypt N3DS folder

XL==> system transfer to formatted N3DS - copy over decrypted N3DS folder - reencrypt with d9 - inject tickets - job done


Right? Or am I missing something...



Or as ^ post - nand backup [+ sdcard] -- system transfer to move nnid then reflash backup...

You got wrong. Let me explain a bit closer. On my N3DS XL I have my real account with some purchases, but I would like to sell that XL since I'm using regular one. On my other N3DS (regular size) I have a lot of hacked games, including GBA games (that's why system transfer isn't an option, I will lose all of that). Also on regular size N3DS I have another accout which doesn't has any purchases, so I would like to move my acc from XL to regular because I have a few purchases and Pokebank subscribe. So, to summaries XL>regular size. What to do to not lost all games on regular?
You can make an emuNAND and transfer to that emuNAND. That way you can keep all your stuff belonging to one NNID on sysNAND and all the stuff belonging to the other NNID on emuNAND.

Is there any particular reason you absolutely have to do a System Transfer? Because now that you have two fully hacked 3DS'es, you can use the right tools, to sync all your content between all your 3DS'es. Making a CIA for digitally purchased games is more tricky, but it is possible, I think with GodMode9, and maybe a certain Windows program.

Well, I personally, would not want to follow through with a solution that requires me to update (call me paranoid), but, if he really wants to retain the legitimacy of his legit content, then, he should make sure he has a way to reinstall his non-legit content, then format the one with the non-legit content, and system transfer the legit stuff. Although, wouldn't the formatting remove A9Lh+Luma?

If you flash the backup from before you transfer, then the NNID from the transfer won't be active, you would have to format to sign back into it.
I thought nnid was tied to hardware id [& verified server-side] so flashing backup wouldn't revert nnid if there's a new one attached --- that was my thinking at least.

The console will think it has an NNID different to the one the server thinks it has. If you use the eShop or any server side applications, all the games belonging to the old id will have their tickets removed. I think you get an error of some kind also.

He means the NAND will have the previous ID as active and therefore try to use it to sign in instead of the new transferred.

He could just inject a blank nnidsave I suppose.

Easiest thing would be to dump content from target and re-inject as you suggested.

    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)
