Ive heard that 3ds cartidges are "read-only" but after many years since the 3ds release is there still no way to edit the cartidges contents?
Not a chance. Gateway had done it. Yet they still will never say a thing about how they done it.Ive heard that 3ds cartidges are "read-only" but after many years since the 3ds release is there still no way to edit the cartidges contents?
It's called a ROM aka READ ONLY MEMORY For a reasonIve heard that 3ds cartidges are "read-only" but after many years since the 3ds release is there still no way to edit the cartidges contents?
It's called a ROM aka READ ONLY MEMORY For a reason
Yes, that is exactly how it works and has always worked. Why would you expect otherwise?I'm probably wrong as I'm guessing there's a separate chip or partition for storage of .sav files
LOL that's the save RAM aka RANDOM ACCESS MEMERYWell then, why can we write/replace save files with Checkpoint?
I'm probably wrong as I'm guessing there's a separate chip or partition for storage of .sav files, but if not, it could be possible to 'unlock' a cartridge and write to it. @lone_wolf323 can you provide proof or an article that states that Gateway wrote to Nintendo carts?
Card2
A type of Cartridge which does not contain a backup EEPROM/battery to hold game saves. The game progress is stored directly in the same chipset holding the game data, located at the end of the game's data, and can use all of the chipset's remaining free space. When using a Card2 ROM dump with a 3DS flashcart, no external save file is created and the game progress is saved directly into the game image (filename.3ds or filename.3dz).
I second this. Is there a source for this? Would be interesting.[…]

A real ROM chip cannot be rewritten no matter what.The data was written to the cartridge at some point in time, so in theory, could it not be wiped and rewritten?

Have you ever heard of someone being able to write to a GBA or NDS cartridge? Because you can write/replace save data on those too with homebrew utilities.
Why would you want to write data to a 3DS cartridge, anyway? There are already many hacks for 3DS games, and they all use much more straightforward means of accessing new game data.
Why are you bumping a two-year-old thread to ask an unrelated question?Im Trying to edit my Animal Crossing New Leaf cartridge to get more bells
