I have my old 3ds on 9.4 and made a memory dump for a sky3ds game, Mario Kart 7, I made quite a few memory.bin,
first I tried to memory dump after i started the game,
second I tried to dump at the moment i tried to connect online(It actually cant go online since it is not being updated in 9.4, and it must be updated to 9.5 to use eshop and update),
so i view those 2 memory.bin in computer, tried to search for the header location,
Since I used the latest sky3ds template i went thru and found this:

Supposingly "81 D5 AD 27 13 A6 2B C2 91 A0 C9 90 DA 90 D7 4D" should be somewhere in the memory.bin (?correct me if I am wrong)
So it turns out I cant find any in those 2 bins, not even i flipped bytes.
Here comes the question, is it a MUST to have the game connected to online (in a lobby or sth) instead of "online attempts"(say trying to connect before it gives me an 002-0120 error) in order to dump the header out?
So if my genuine cart got no online function ( Super marios bros 2), the memory.bin method cant be used?
Or... maybe I am stupid that memory.bin isnt the right file to search for headers...
