ROM Hack New powersaves 3ds thread

[MGS1980]

Get back on topic before this thread gets closed. If you want to rant against hackers and the perceived evils of not sharing that you have, please confine it to PM as this is one of the reasons why the last thread got canned.

 

[Newbie1]

I am on topic.

>Datel needs to get their crap together. Release everything in one bulky shot or tear it down. It's stupid to play cat and mouse. I would love to ask their CEO if he knew the money he was losing or could be earning. All we really need is a 6IV/Nature/Hoopa&Volcanion code. Or someone to put up a Hoopa&Volcaion on a Gateway.

Powersaves. 6IV/Nature modifiers.

Or, if you're listening Datel, I want all clothes unlocked, including pajammas if you can.

If you're feeling awesome, mind WonderCarding another DNASplicer? I would love to have Kyurem-W and Kyurem-B on my team. They can't be traded anyway, already tried.

Could it be too much trouble to be able to modify the abilities too. Slot 1 set your ability to: Whatever.

Cherish Balls. Is it really that big of a deal that you guys can't add them in? If people can't tell a fake or look online what's an event and what isn't then isn't that their bad. Cherish balls shouldn't be held back cause of the few that might get duped.

Everyone DOES want injection. Ask any Pokemon player if they want a way to get Volcanion & Hoopa now. The answer is yes. Don't try that data route with me, man. Won't go anywhere but south.

I don't. I just wanted to know how it works.

The high and mighty, 'we earned it so haha' attitude just makes us envious as well as ticked. You're showboating what you can do and what you've got, teasing with pics. No one cares about the data and what you bring to us if it doesn't fully allow an injection. Those of us without the knowledge do expect to be catered to when Pokegen and such did just that. Those of you who sit on your thrones thinking you can toss us bones without meat on them should of just stayed quiet.

Did he PM you pictures and make fun of you every day?

i dont know if someone have already asked this but, it can backup/restore savedata from NDS games? Or just 3DS games?

3DS only.

3DS only. R4i Save Dongle / SMS4 / NDS Adapter Plus can do it for DS games.

Alright, here's how you can have injection with the only way currently possible (a hacked 3DS).

Spoiler

1. Buy <4.5 3DS. This shouldn't be too hard.
2. Learn assembly.
3. Be capable of writing homebrew for the 3DS.
4. Dump some RAM, and know the ins and outs of the important service calls.
5. Spend an absurd amount of time poking through functions in the firmware to find an fwrite, and get it to work.
6. Get gateway launcher and decrypt it with your new-found knowledge.
7. Analyze how they do stuff like nand redirection, and replicate it on your own. Steal their firmware patches too! This will take a while.
8. Get your fwrite working on your up to date nand.
9. Write some code to run only if a button is pressed - maybe hijack the select multirom code!
10. Add some RAM dump code to your 'key press' event.
11. Dump RAM in game.
12. Scan your RAM dumps to find offsets of interest using your knowledge of past & current gen structures. Tip: Find where the decrypted save data is loaded to. The game will load the box data from there when you access the PC in game.
13. Change your dump code to instead write whatever payload to your chosen offset.
14. ???
15. Profit!
16. Congrats, you now have injection! Hack up some .ek6's and inject away!

If you can't tell, this is an extreme redux. But, it is the basics of how to inject. Notable risks are bricking your 3DS through gateway or your own bad code; you may want to mod it to be able to flash your nand!

I guess the basic rundown is useful for those wanting to know a little more about how it can be done.

So yeah, it's way over your head and even if someone put out a 'warez' launcher for you, you probably wouldn't be able to work it as it's not something simple like "go to website and queue" or "hurr save edit".

The 3DS games have actual savefile encryption which DS games lacked; the AES-MAC is the only thing that stands in the way of save injection and Powersaves won't do that for you. PokeGen/PokeSAV had it easy with only checksums, now we have checksums, hashes, unique XOR encryption, and AES-MACs to get past first. Your best bet is to get a Gateway and pray that they patch-out out the AES-MAC verification function.

Datel needs to get their crap together. Release everything in one bulky shot or tear it down. It's stupid to play cat and mouse. I would love to ask their CEO if he knew the money he was losing or could be earning. All we really need is a 6IV/Nature/Hoopa&Volcanion code. Or someone to put up a Hoopa&Volcaion on a Gateway.

Or, if you're listening Datel, I want all clothes unlocked, including pajammas if you can.

The argument of them losing money by not adding the codes YOU want is invalid. You already bought their device; there is no subscription fee. It's their right to not add whatever codes they want. If you bought the device for the limited amount of codes they already had, what is deterring someone else? Buying something and expecting it to eventually fulfill your every desire is downright idiotic.

Since you don't really follow what has already been posted before (and other assorted tidbits):

1. Datel doesn't want to ruin online. That means no designer codes a la IV/Nature/Ability changing.
2. Pajamas freeze your game after battle, and don't have a battle sprite.
3. The save file can only store 1 fused Pokemon at a time; fusing stores a Pokemon and unfusing rips that Pokemon from the save, might give you a bad egg if you do things you shouldn't.
4. Cherish Balls don't pass through breeding and have never been obtainable; can be argued that they are unreleased or can be used to deceive in event trades (ie, ruin online).

You might want to suggest codes that actually have a chance to be added (like assorted Pokepuffs or Super Training Bags) instead of constantly requesting things that Datel won't add.

PokePuffs would be GREAT!

How about some berry growing codes?

Berry growing codes aren't ideal as you can just add your own berries. Even ProjectPokemon hasn't documented how berry fields work...

 

[Nyancat]

Just been looking at previous posts and if Latiasite was a mistake, they wouldn't have put it in because they would need to deliberately add them and if it was they would've been removed by now.

 

[leowalle]

Like "Modify first 20 puffs to (Winter-Summer-Autumm-Spring) Supreme Puffs". But just 4 codes just with different seasons.

Kaphotics do you know if there are more unreleased clothes ingame? and is it possible to use for example team flare clothes or they are texture-models-only for those npc? also the item that said to add all clothes, really works or is only a placeholder? if so do you think they can add it to unlock them? thnks

 

[ChokingVictim87]

They should just add a change natures and abilities code-it doesn't affect the game other than making it easier to get something you would otherwise have to breed for and also some HA are blocked from trade and online modes so it wouldn't matter

Yeah but the natures have an affect on you pokemons stats such as their IV's so it's basically changing your stats of a pokemon.

 

[ChokingVictim87]

Well hopefull there will be more codes soon!

 

[xxMergyxx]

Can the Shiny Charm Wondercard code be given to someone
who doesn't have the Powersave device?

Filling the Pokedex is taking to long

Unfortunately no, it's a key item.

Oh, that's unfortunate indeed
Well, time to collect more Pokemon, but thx!

I wonder when well we get the PC Gyarados event on powersaves

It's really hard to tell. They still haven't released the entire Celebrate series yet. Only time will tell.
