I've been reading some previous posts here about generating your own template file but I just can't seem to grasp the right answer.

Well for starters, what are the tools that I would need to get the information out of the 3DS ROM? I found Fola's Sky3DSTemplateMaker, but I can't figure out how to use it. I want to play Fantasy Life (U) on my Sky3DS so I'm trying to figure things out. Thanks in advance :D

Just download the Template files from the Sky3DS website. They are already made and include 99% of the 3ds Library.

Really? I can't seem to DiskWrite Fantasy Life (U), which is a clean rom. Into my SDCARD. I'm using their latest template file and I still get the "There are no available header information..." error?

That's odd, Fantasy life is a supported game. Where did you get your rom? (Don't link it)

It's from a torrent from a "kick ass" torrent site. I checked it to be a clean rom, matched the CRC32, and other header information on Advanscene. Can you tell me which template file you're using? I'm using the template0121.txt file. or the latest they have on the downloads page.

Try downloading the rom from roms43 and try again with the latest template file. I use the latest one and it works perfectly fine.

Let me clarify, are you using the US version of Fantasy Life? and also, if you don't mind. Can you paste the Template Information of Fantasy Life (U) here? Thanks :D

Yes, the U.S version. Also, I don't know the code identifying fantasy life in the header so I don't know how to find it.

I don't know what I did here mrolive, but somehow I'm able to write Fantasy Life without problem anymore. I think there's a bug on the DiskWriter that it remembers the past template file you used even though you updated the template file.

Many Thanks mrolive :D.

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to rely on Sky3DS' updates on the template files :D

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Waiting for Anbernic's rg[whatever]SP price announcement, gimme.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
