Homebrew [Research] Finding the NNID without Badge Arcade

[Harvest God]

It gives me ret: 0x00000000 when I run it. Although i didn't see a new folder created

Edit: Scratch that i found it

 

[MrCheeze]

That's... a very good sign. I think you should actually be able to copy files to extdata 14d1 just from having run that, then.

 

[Harvest God]

The files 00000001 and 00000002 were in that folder

 

[MrCheeze]

Yeah, those aren't the actual extdata though... I mean actually copying the badgemngfiles with extdata_dump should work now. Although it may not give results on the home screen unless you have the NNID that this thread is about edited into the right place.

 

[Harvest God]

00000004 are the badges. But what is 00000001, 00000002, and 00000003?????

 

[NoNoNeko]

So we have progress!

 

[Harvest God]

I would say the tricky part of all of this is to install the decorate badge to the system imo

@MrCheeze Thank you! With this and @Februarysn0w 's badge files, and the NNID retriever from @Steveice10 , people should be ready to go with badges. Just replace the 4-byte value at 0x1C in badgemngfile.dat with your own NNID. There is a bit of delay on my end for the next update to custom badge tool, but the latest version should suffice for now

Would be possible to make a quick tutorial?
I have an o3ds 10.0 with menuhax if you need more testers

But how would you put the badge on the system?

 

[Deleted member 370283]

I used the NNIDRetriever to get my ID, I replaced it in BadgeMngFile.dat, created the extdata, placed the needed badge files inside of it, and restarted my system. A new button to add badges shows up, I get lots of notifications, and the Badge Arcade is added to my homescreen, but I have no badges.

Those are my results, for the curious.

 

[froggestspirit]

Put your NNID into an existing BadgeMngFile.dat Like februarysnow's, and also download their BadgeData.dat. inject both of those, and it should work. I'll test this on my 2DS without the arcade

Edit: I can confirm it works. I'll update the OP with a tutorial

 

[swaggon]

Awesome, I'm going to try it out when I can.

 

[Deleted member 370283]

Didn't realize that the Nintendo Network ID thing needed to be put in backwards, so that was my problem.
Thanks for looking into this and bringing us on FW <10.3 badges!

I get "'size is too large' copying failed!" with extdatadump.

 

[Jwiz33]

Now when I restore I get a green pixel in the bottom left corner.

 

[PF2M]

How do I inject the files into the extdata? I tried replacing the default settings in extdatadump to inject BadgeData and BadgeMngFile into "00001346:/", but it just says "could not open archive".

 

[Harvest God]

I believe it goes to 000014d1, as noted in 3dbrew that's where the badge data is stored

After the :/ put BadgeMngFile.dat or BadgeData.dat or whatever

 

[PF2M]

I did that, tried to do so following the rules that I saw in the default config.

I'll try that, I guess.

EDIT:
Copying to 000014d1 worked as it was supposed to, though I got the same error as Jwiz stated with file sized being too big.
At least I got the BadgeMngFile in there, though I don't know what'll happen if it doesn't get the badge file.
