Hacking New Sky3ds flashcart

[mgrev]

AP bypass-onichan is color blind, legends say after 4 months of emerging from his hikikomori life, the color yellow was too much for his eyes. And thus orange was chosen.

Wonder if they ever fixed that issue were you had to cycle through your games in order for your last save to be properly written. They also mention connecting the SKY3DS+ directly to the USB of your PC with some included cable. Not sure if the cable plugs into the card somehow or if it's just a generic 3DS-to-USB dongle.

Into the card, definitely. There isn't a port on the 3DS that would allow you to update a card in Slot-1

Whoops, I meant if they have some kind of port on the card itself to connect directly to USB, or if it ships with a dongle that you insert the card into.

Ah, aaaaah, that's what you meant by 3DS to USB dongle.
Well, they did mention a cable, so if it was an USB dongle, it wouldn't have a cable.

We'll probably have to wait and see until we have more pictures of it, see if it has a port on it to connect a cable. Otherwise, an USB dongle would be good too.

Actually we have a picture here

Spoiler

So I'm not sure if they're just covering up the port with their thumb, or if there's really no port on the cartridge itself.

Watch the video it shows the USB on the side of the cart.

Where is the video? Searching for "SKY3DS Plus" on YouTube only shows an advertisement with screenshots from the Sky website.

I can't seem to access the Sky3DS website anymore either, gives me a Microsoft IIS thing. Oh well.

I think they may be referring to the video that was posted in this thread a few pages back.

Read the earlier post in the thread. https://gbatemp.net/threads/new-sky3ds-flashcart.404656/page-8#post-5839277

Interesting. With a USB port on the side, maybe someone can make custom firmwares for the cart in the future...

 

[s-arash]

so this works on all firmwares?

My local flashcart seller is listing Dec 10th release.

3rd cart, lol.

Sky3ds team are laughing all the way to the bank.

...and how many Acekards were released? 3, if I recall correctly - Acekard RPG, Acekard 2 and 2i. What about Supercard? DSOne, DSOne-i, DSTwo, DSTwo+... shall I continue?

Acekard RPG, Acekard 2 and 2i

Don't forget that acekard 2i had 2 hardware revisions and first version couldn't use latest updates.

Exactly. Some of us still remember that in the beginning we actually had to use PASS-ME on the DS since Slot-1 carts didn't even exist, others think that effective hacks just come on a silver platter. I think the new Sky3DS+ is promising, it fixes many of the problems previous revisions had, it breaks the latest AP, it's finally upgradable (a much-requested feature) and has a couple other knick-knacks that I won't describe here right now. Needless to say, GBATemp will be dropping a review of this cartridge as soon as we have one fully tested - stay tuned!

True, but they weren't all released within the same year.

That being said I'm pretty interested in it tbh, don't really have the money for it atm though.

 

[Foxi4]

Neither were the Sky carts IIRC. It takes time to strike gold with a design, perhaps Sky did it spot-on this time around - time will tell.

When was the red button one released?
I see a review from Nov. 2014, then blue button in Jan. 2015
