Homebrew Save Question

[Larsenv]

Hi.

Is it possible to recover these 00000001.sav files on my bricked New 3DS and use them again?

I have a 2DS on 9.2 if that can do anything for this.

Thanks.

Can't, they're encrypted with a console-specific key.

Can't, they're encrypted with a console-specific key.

Yeah.

I'm aware of that.

Since the SD Card uses a part of a SHA256 of the key it uses for encryption, is it possible I can brute force this?

You'd be waiting a very long time (possibly years) for a successful brute. It's not worth it.

Would the only way to decrypt my saves be to open up the New 3DS then do a NAND Dump?

If I do that, I can't return the console for a new one.

Is the brick so bad that recovery mode won't work?

Yes.

The reason it got bricked is because I was trying to downgrade it.

Lame. Well, sorry to say but you're most likely SOL without a hard mod and an NAND dump.

That's what pirate's get

Downgrading firmware is piracy?

 

[Larsenv]

How do I do the hard mod on the New 3DS anyway?

 

[Ryft]

Is it. savs like what Gateway uses? I thought those could be shared between consoles as long as you are using the exact same rom to play them.
