Sachka Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hi guys, I have a retail OR and Y, a SKY3DS and a Powersaves, I was testing with my current tools if I could use my original saves (from OR/Y) in my SKY, since SKY3DS works as a retail card, (detected by Powersaves / Pokemon Bank) and is able to restore/backup as an original cart, but I'm stuck with the fact they only recognize an individual value from each retail cartridge for the save to work. Now since SKY uses a template for writing the ROM header, I believe it is possible to just set it to my own cartridge info. The question is... Am I able to get a cartridge header info from just a save file? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaphotics Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 sky3ds cannot run edited roms or have edited save files as it is a fake cart; no code can be run. signature checks need to be patched out, which sky3ds can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sachka Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 I am not trying to edit anything, I don't even use a sav editor, I am just trying to get my original save into my sky cartridge. IT IS possible if I dump my game and use it with its own header in the template, BUT I don't have anything to dump it, so since SKY disk writer uses a template (.txt file with a header) I was wondering if the save file itself contained the game ID.

Poryhack Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 If your 3DS is still on 9.2 you can actually use Gateway's exploit to dump your ROM without owning a Gateway red card. Just grab Gateway's Launcher.dat, place it on the 3DS internal SD, and launch the exploit through the browser. You'll boot into a Gateway-themed menu where one of the options is to dump a ROM. No Gateway red card is necessary until you want to return to the home menu with signature/cart checks patched out. I doubt there is any way to get the ROM header info from a save file, but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
