One thing I confirm by now is that, trying to restore save to Sky3DS's Zelda OoT3D from the exploit .sav won't work even I backed my working one up then restored... It's always a corrupted save when loading the game.

Update: It will only work by using SaveDataFilter to import to Sky3DS on CFW.
What, "Palatine"/"redNAND"? Earlier today I spent an hour going through that process.
I would get an "SD card has been removed" message every time I launched SDF. Any idea what I could have done wrong?

However, ultimately I won't load Launcher.dat even it's loaded the exploit savedata successfully.

Retail cart works perfectly and I'm formatting emunand by now.

I'm out. Hope GW will have something else.

Can you provide the save+template you used if its an EU ROM? That would be very helpful. Just backup the save with diskwriter tool and provide the template.txt.
I think I could fix the issue. The partitions of the save need to be reallocated.

Here's a dumb question. Would the version of DiskWriter matter? I'm using 1.06b5. 1.07 is offered for download on gbatemp but nowhere to be found on sky3ds.com so I stayed away from it.

It's a private one. I can share without header id, is it okay?

The problem is if you don't provide the header, it won't work. The savegameencryption is bound to the header. Can't you just inject a public header and reimport the save again? Then the save would be encrypted with a public header and everyone can use it.

REQUEST:

For those that got this to work, can you provide a step by step on how you did it? I have to be missing something here as my attempts have all lead to corrupt saves. I've been trying US version. The OT first post is kind of confusing since it mentions GW save fix first although I'm not even sure that's the order of how you do this right (or if that's even leveraged)?

Either your savedafiler isn't set to run from the SD or requires a firmware higher than 4.5.

Get a proper one.

I am also using 1.06b5 and having an issue. Did you try 1.07 to see if it worked? i'm not by my computer.

The Japan save is not working with sky3ds


Trying as well on my JP N3DS with Bahamut release ROM on sky3ds (Following steps on this post). Unsuccessful so far. I believe Diskwriter isn't even properly restoring the .sav file. The progress bar pops up very quickly and goes about halfway before closing without any verification of the file being restored. 8.1FW if that helps.

I just bought Zelda Oot Japan and for someone that lives in USA this cost me more then the gateway. I paid $76.99 yeah thanks gateway your flashkit cost me $150+ total thats crazy. And if anyone is trying to get this to work remember ebay doesn't know about the gateway update yet buy while you can!. I find it even more funny that gateway is trying to get cubic ninja to work to there is only 35,000 copies of that game are they smoking crack?!

The save isn't showing up on my OOT. USA. Have the correct rom.


I got it to say corrupt save once. But now it just boots into game and the save is gone. Tried reformatting card and redoing a few times.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
