ROM Hack Pokemon Su/Mo Pre-Purchase Possible Hack Question

[Firemoon]

Hmmmm, no data found, will download at midnight on my birthday then, or earlier if it leaks.

It will probably leaks a few days before the release, like always because of those who receive the cartridge before.

I meant the demo.

Remember how you need title keys in order to use freeshop? Without a title key, whatever game you download is basically encrypted garbage, completely useless (until you get a dectitlekey, then the encrypted garbage can be turned into something else entirely).

Yeah, indeed. I found it out just right now, we need one of those keys, then we can decrypt it, also a lot is nullified.

Demo is said to be available on 18th of October 2016 here in France.

Um, it's like that everywhere in the world.

Yeah, I'll wait for the demo, then I'll decrypt/play.

What are you even talking about?

That for now it's impossible, without any key, we need one of those to decrypt the CIA, and we get them on the day of the demo release (for the demo ofc)

So as you may know, the way that the big N does pre-purchasing is that you download an unopenable version of the full game before the release date and on midnight the night of release, they send out an update that makes the game playable.

My question is would it be possible, through hacking or whatnot, to try and bypass the part of the pre-purchased version that keeps you from opening it? I know little about how this stuff works and/or how to find out how it works, so that is why I've come here to you guys.

If anybody here wants to try and find out how to make this work before the pre-purchasing for Su/Mo is available, there is currently a game on the Eshop that is Pre-Purchasable: Disney Magical World 2. Assuming that this game's pre-purchase works the same as Su/Mo's will, this game may be a good way to find out how to bypass the need for the "availability update" and play the game early

Who knows, maybe in the future everyone here will be playing Pokemon before its official release

No, it's not possible.

Pre purchasing installs a complete version of the title to your console, and gives you the title key. However, the content doesn't use normal ncch encryption keys -- it uses a special version of crypto called seed crypto introduced with 9.6 -- the encryption key is derived partially from a 128-bit value called the external seed that Nintendo publishes on release date. Numbers that big cannot be brute forced, and so the system is secure -- no playing sun/moon early from the eShop! (If someone dumps a cartridge before release, you'll be all good though).

The demo also uses seed crypto -- you won't be able to open it before the 18th even if we get to download it beforehand.

Some countries can have it faster than us, French people. Count us as Europe and compare the date on Japan and US, we don't have the same release date. Japanese people do probably have it now.

No also the 18th.

 

[sp3off]

No also the 18th.

Oh, okay. Thought that they had it before. It's the first time (probably) we have demos at the same time all over the world.

No the ORAS demo was also the same date iirc, and XY had even the same date for the full release, only ORAS didn't and Su/Mo neither now.

Well, seems that i'm out xD. Didn't knew that.

 

[Shadow#1]

I haven't seen it asked anywhere else, are you sure you are fully understanding what I'm asking?

Then u don't pay attention at all

I was playing DQ7 as soon as it was available for pre-purchase but I wasn't on the most updated firmware It came out on 11.0 and I could play it fine until I updated to 11.1 and opened the eShop, then it gave me the unreleased error. So I restored my 11.0 backup so I could keep playing for another day Lol.

I should mention I downloaded the .cia from that site since it wasn't available on Freeshop yet, so I never physically opened the eShop after installing it until I updated and got the error.
