Homebrew [TUTORIAL] Recover DSiWare/3DSWare after a system format.

[trappedinlimbo]

yes it wouldn't (shouldn't) work

oh well, it was worth asking, lol. thanks for letting me know.

 

[nastys]

This specific game is no longer available at the eShop, thats why it was limited edition.
Dump the CIA with FunkyCIA and PM me to give you the details.

OK, I'll do it

 

[cearp]

OK, I'll do it

there is no need anymore, right?

 

[apoptygma]

Seems like this would be much safer/easier just using a new SD card, formatting the emunand and the going from step 3 onward.

Now I'm confused...
Why not?

because stuff like this will only work if you had the game, but formatted/deleted it from your 3ds.

What happens if you go through this process on a system which has never had FS installed? Is there a risk or bricking or will there just be an error saying the title isn't owned or something else?

you are asking what happens if you install a game/app you do not have permission to play/that is not signed correctly for your system?
what happens when you try to load a 'pirated' eshop game in classic mode? nothing, it just doesn't load, you get an error.
unless you do weird things, you are not going to brick your 3ds.

Shame, I mean they were giving it away for free last year so i thought it might not have usual drm. Guess I'll have to keep using my GBA cart on my old dslite

I'll do it anyway, maybe someone will find a way

Okay, I've tried this method in 3 different ways: using a FunkyCIA-generated CIA of a game I owned, using a FunkyCIA-generated CIA of a game I didn't own and also using a game I bought via the eShop. In all these ways, I get an error in transferring the game back to the sysNAND on my 4.5 3DS.
Where am I going wrong.

Delete this thread please. Its useless. Rename it to "recovering lost DSiWare" or something.

not just dsiware, this will work for anything, gba games, 3ds games... etc etc (but yes i agree it should be renamed)

most probably because the ticket does not exist in your sysnand... right?

 

[nastys]

I can't dump it anyway, because I'm on 9.2 sysnand...

 

[Aurora Wright]

If you make a linked emunand out of system nand, update it, buy a game from eshop and dump it without fake signing and install it on system nand doesn't it install the ticket?

 

[sonic2756]

I have a way of moving your ticket.db from emuNAND to sysNAND. Writing up a guide right now.

it should, but whenever i have tried to make 'legit' cias for stuff tied to my account it has not worked

 

[piratesephiroth]

yeah, if we make CIAs with Funkycia without zeroing out the console id, devmenu says they're invalid
