Homebrew [Release] UpdateSuppressor

[Ptrk25]

Nervous that you or someone else will hit the update button and you'll lose your Ironhax installation?

Enter:

This app will remove the update message on the Home menu for any software that downloads updates through the eshop.

Download

Usage:
This program can be used in one of modes: Delete-all mode and Single mode.
In Delete-all mode update messages will be suppressed for all programs.
In Single mode you can select which app's update message to suppress using the title selector.

The CIA version will always run in Delete-all mode.
For the 3dsx version if UpdateSuppressor.xml is present the program will run in Single mode, otherwise it will run in Delete-all mode.

Notes:

• This does not work on the 10.4+ forced Ironfall update.
• This does not work on System OS update nags or nags within applications such as Youtube.
• The update notice will only be gone until your 3DS redownloads the versionList from Nintendo's servers.
• If you want to block the versionList update server, just block the following address on your router: tagaya-ctr.cdn.nintendo.net

Program by @Giantblargg.

If you have other questions to this homebrew, just ask Giantblargg.

Hey guys,

I found a way the remove the update message for Ironfall and I thought "Why not make a tutorial for everyone". So here it is:

What you need:

- extdata_dump
- FTP Client for PC (for example FileZilla)
- FTP Client for 3DS (for example FTP-3DS)
- Hexeditor for your PC (for example Hex-Editor MK)

What you have to do:

1. Open FTP-Client on PC and start the FTP-Server on 3DS
2. Connect to 3DS (Type IP and Port in your FTP-Client)
3. Browse to /3ds/extdata_dump/ and edit the config.txt by adding these lines:

DUMP "f000000e:/versionList.dat" "versionList.dat"
RESTORE "versionList.dat" "f000000e:/versionList.dat"

4. Save it and upload it on your 3DS
5. Open exdata_dump and select "Dump extdata specified in config"
6. Open FTP-3DS (or another ftp-server) and download the "versionList.dat"
7. Open the versionList.dat with your Hex-Editor and press [CTRL] + F
8. Now search for the following Hex-String

If you have Ironfall v1 : Comming soon!
If you have Ironfall v1.1: "00B1150000000400"
If you have Ironfall with DLC: "000400000015D800"

9. Now replace it with "00" (zeros)
10. Save the file
11. Upload it on your 3DS
12. Open extdata_dump und select "Restore extdata specified in config"

After that the update message should be gone.
(Do it on your own risk, I don't take any responsibility for any errors)

If anyone have the title ID for Ironfall v1 please msg me

Sweet! OK so you'll need to include different region title IDs (since they're different) otherwise great tutorial

 

[MsMidnight]

Honestly I don't want to risk that

 

[peteruk]

thank you for the sweet guide, do you think this would work with other installed games with the same update nag ?

or would this fix be specific to this game ?

Yeah it would also work with other titles, but then I have to do another tutorial

 

[SANNIC789]

glad i code help

 

[dark_samus3]

not really, just show how to convert the title id and then search for it

 

[Ptrk25]

Yeah that would be also possible

 

[peteruk]

If you decide to take requests (hint hint) this is the title ID for The Binding Of Isaac 0004000000F700900

just make a new tex file leave it blank and rename it versionList.dat and insert it with http://gbatemp.net/threads/3ds-extdata-dump-and-restore-tool-extra-data-editing.378492/
have the config.txt file say somthing like

DUMP "f000000e:/versionList.dat" "versionList.dat"
RESTORE "versionList.dat" "f000000e:/versionList.dat"

and your dun it works

 

[MsMidnight]

[MrCheeze]

Ah, this is cool. Seems like you could probably just skip a few steps here, and just restore a 0-byte file over versionList.dat or something though.

If anyone could make a homebrew app for this, it would be very useful.

Yeah that works too, but we don't know if this have any sideeffects.

Threw together a quick program to automate this. https://github.com/GiantBlargg/UpdateSuppressor/releases/

Just pick the program to suppress and it'll do it's thing.

Awesome! Will add this to my post

 

[MrCheeze]

Looks like the file's only purpose is to list updates that are available but not downloaded. Still, I can understand not wanting to mess with files on your NAND...
