Powersaves backup are encrypted (based on fixed keys from bootrom/kernel, the game's titleid, individual card headers for 6.0+ games...)

In theory knowing all the involved variables you could extract and recompress .sav and powersaves proprietary format, but I don't think anyone has publicly created the appropriate software yet

You can't use anything. They're encrypted and there's no way to decrypt them actually

Powersaves uses raw save files + a custom header. To decrypt them you need a hacked 3ds + the retail game + powersaves (because no one wrote a raw save decrypter).
supermysterychunkhax only works on fw 11.0 or below, if you have a 9.x - 11.3 3ds then use soundhax.

    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think

    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Every games basically cross platform they only have about 6 titles making it worth the $600 price tag
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Didn't see much need for a console, all the advantages have kind of disappeared
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    the ps3 used to support installing linux because the cpu was so powerful
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Then the games are $70 and they want to reboot and refresh the same game every year
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The ps3 was always Linux they just found a way to make it open source

    I'm avoiding buying from the big 3 at all atm
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At one point PC game pads where poorly supported, loading a game had setup, it was complicated. Now it's almost as easy as a console.
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    nintendo needs to up their game soon

    Xinput and 360 dongles were a driver nightmare
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

    Yeah the 360 dongles sucked
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But the new Xbox pads? PIr it up and if a game supports it it just works
