I know about conversion.
There is never accurate conversion.
Every payment system/company pretty much use their own conversion rate.

Not very likely since currency is handled by respective governments. I've used it to convert Dollars to Yen several times and it's never let me down. If there's any company changing the conversion rate, they are likely upping the amount you pay due to the conversion charge they incure of having to change your currency to theirs after purchase.

I really hope sky3ds doesnt get blocked with updates lol.

It's been confirmed that Sky3DS can easily be blocked. So... I too am scared. If you want a source I can give you mine.

I'm planning on getting a sky3ds myself, will you post the solution when you find it? and can someone explain what the templates are for?

Its instructions that DiskWriter uses to make it bootable via microsd. Imagine it to be like making a bootable windows usb.

Do we have some sort of compatibility list for the Sky3DS card?

We know that games less than 2gb works. me and a few others are working on making a compatibility list here:

Just chime in with what games you know works and what doesn't. The thread will eventually evolve into a Sky3DS all in one.

Actually no the conversion is accurate. The thing is every bank or where ever you trade you money in likes to put a little conversion fee on it. Might be just 1 cent for pound but if you convert 100 that's 1 pound less of money you get.

 

[ChrisRX]

could you pop open the card and take a picture of the inside? im curious to see if they've changed anything from the original.

I think if it's like the first sky3ds the case is glued together so it'd have to be broken apart to see the PCB.

That said I'd be interested to see what the change in hardware is too.

It's shown to be easily seen not easily blocked if it was easy to block it would have being blocked along with gateway

It's probably a bad dump then

Did you get Pokemon x working too

 

[donkeymilk]

Yes they are

So, to confirm, you have 18 ROMs on your microSD and you can scroll through them without issue or the "skip bug"?

Not exactly. it's speculated that a major revision of 3DS OS will block Sky3DS. 9.3 blocked gateway just because it just so happened to fix 1/3 of what ninjhax requires to work. Simple bug fixes. What needs to be done to block Sky3DS is literally to rewrite cartridge checks or refresh online cartridge checks because of how easy it's identified.

It's like each Sky3DS has the same ip address so if there are millions of ip addresses that are the same all Nintendo has to do is block this specific range and Sky3DS is done. Atleast online anyways.

Yes they are all scrollable and it's working good

Yes but online isn't important to me and that is just speculation nobody will know until the next fw comes out it could also patch gateway closed as well the real answer is we won't know until Nintendo next releases it's fw

Hot dog! Gonna order up 2 now; hopefully they come in time for xmas. RHS still has the red ones, so I'm going to give MCD a try.

 

[da1e85]

Try gamemaniaz it's german but they ship from China it took 5 days but that included the weekend and they are blue buttoned

 

[dawnbomb]

i would only order ones that are specifically blue buttoned.

i'm sure they will release something to make red buttons easier to switch games. red and blue are virtually identical, if their blue buttons are working, then they have a program auto running what they need it to do. all we gotta figure out is whats the difference between red and blue.

 

[da1e85]

I think they are all blue buttoned now which are from the Chinese resellers maybe companies with outside still have red buttoned ones

 

[donkeymilk]

da1e85 - do you have to use any special template to write to the blue button card? Do they all say EEPROM ="yes"?

I just used the latest template on the sky3ds website and copied the rooms using the disk writer donkey kong isn't working or resident evil revelations so will have to change the eeprom for them and also animal crossing

 

[dawnbomb]

animal crossing is known as bad, also before you do anything else, read my post here (#230) it has the bugs, bad games, and other things listed https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutoria...sky3ds-cartridges.375739/page-12#post-5211080

I think your post is slightly wrong and maybe not relevant to the blue button card as Tetris is fine for me and Pokemon doesn't work I've yet to see if it's s bad rom and all the other games which you say corrupt are fine other than animal crossing

 

[Silentsurvivor]

How exactly?

EDIT: Nevermind, I already got my answer.

Tetris is also fine for me. I don't think there are games that are specifically incompatible (apart from maybe Animal Crossing). I think this is a random Sky3ds fault.
