SAVE HACKER 3000
A fake save manager.

Hey guys, I recently started learning Lua and I made some cool apps. One day I was thinking: "I should make a fake save manager", so I decided to whip up a small program.

I know this is useless but I wrote this for fun and I thought I should release it.

What you can use it for: Let's say you have this guy who you dislike or he pranked you and you want to prank him back and he asked "woah you can have free pokemon show me how pls". Give this app to them and make them run it and see their reaction. ;)

What it can do: You have 3 options when you boot it up. Backup your save for hacking!, Import your save into your game!, or Exit. Backup your save for hacking does a thing where it says "Locating save... Done!" and stuff like that. At the end you'll be asked to press the A button. When you press it a troll face image appears on the top and the bottom displays some text.
Same thing for import except you press B to exit instead of A. Exit exits.


Video:

Sorry for the horrible quality but it's better than nothing is it not?

TODO:
Actually play the troll song (having trouble with this)
Some other stuff (feel free to request)
Actually make it look more real and stuff so people can be easily pranked
Make a notification thing which makes the app send a notification to the Notifications app on the 3ds (I have the code in there but it isnt working... broken service on NH2?)

Credits:
@Rinnegatamante for lpp-3ds
@legofan623 for helping me with displaying images
@ihaveamac and others trying to help me
and of course @smealum for making this possible.

I would love to see your friends reactions, if you do decide to prank someone with it. :P

Troll apps huh? If it were me, I would have made a 'signiture patcher for 10.1', then when you run it it says something went wrong and the nand was corrupted. Then the screen gets all scrambled and you have to do a hard shutdown.

Better then a trollface. Just sayin.

Useless and i dont see more than 10 people downloading this :P sry
I really don't care if it's useless. I can at least show that I made something.
BTW I know it's useless, I just made it for fun.

This is why I'm taking suggestions. :P

Planning to do this to a friend who is new to homebrew. I'll wait until it looks more realistic though. (Instead of having the word "Putting" I suggest something more like "Injecting")

Edit: A couple more ideas.

Instead of "Dumping out the Save" just put "Dumping Save"

Make it to where it can read game save names so you can pick a game save that actually exists to the user.

Thanks, I'll do that.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
