quick question - thinking of buying Monster Hunter 4U, but wanted to try it out first... so if i play on GW and decide on I want to buy the game, can my save games be used on the retail cartridge? or do i have to start again?
Quick answer: start again.
Best answer: Why the F would you do that? Buy it, dump it and play the .3dz you create and use the old save file. You will have a private header.
Picked up a N3DS on Friday to replace my old one. Was originally using a Gateway card, but decided to pick up a SKY3DS while I wait for GW support. I understand loading the games with the .txt file supplied by SKY, but a few questions:
- Can I play my privately dumped roms (either in .3ds or .3dz format)? I read that the .txt file provided by SKY will overwrite my private headers.
- Can I play downloaded roms which have been injected with my private header? (EG, play a Smash Bros. rom with a private Mario Kart 7 header injected into it)?
- Do I have to have scene releases of roms to use SKY?
Thanks!

1. Yes. No need for 3dz with sky. I beleive the template can be edited. You will need to search for the thread.
2. Yes
3. No.
You are welcome!
The template overrides any header in the rom. So yes, you need to edit the template for a private header.
See above. Yes. Scene dumps do not have headers.
I do not have a sky but this is what I heave read in sky posts. This is serious stuff so make sure you do your research and know exactly what you are doing. No one is sure exactly how N is banning people so there will always be some risk.
whenever i try and install any of the SDK DEVKIT .CIAs, it always comes up with "CIA is invalid" and fails at 93%
any help?

I was wondering... since a rom header is unique, couldn't I simply randomly generate one and use it as a private header? It maybe sound really stupid, feel free to make me feel stupid(er)
if you could generate one yourself (other than typing in random Hex lol) then how would you know if its not being used??
T
Well I would take the risk to generate an header that somone else is using, but how many chances to do that are there? Also, are there any guides that explain how to edit header without No Ban No Sky?
Just replied to your post about mSD cards so some of that may apply. So what are you using for a card? Have you tried BBM? what type of cia are you gphaving trouble with? Games, updates, home brew?
The first thing I look to with these kinds of problems is a file system error. Back it all up and reformat the card, inject emunand and then copy it all back in one transfer so everything is written sequentially.
I won't pretend to know anything about the structure of a header but it is encoded somehow and to the game as well. It is best to use a smash header for a smash rom, no mismatch. Sounds impractical to do but if you can loosen your ethics very possible to do especially if you do not have a lot of games to play online.I was wondering... since a rom header is unique, couldn't I simply randomly generate one and use it as a private header?

Buy the cartridge, dump it, use that rom.
Malfunction the cartridge. I would imagine 120/220 volts would fry it, maybe even 12 volts. Your header is now very private. A strong electo- magnet would likely do it as well.
Return the cart to store and exchange for brand new sealed cart.
Sell new sealed cart for minimal loss.
i tried installing devmenu and savedata filer and both failed
i tried savedata filer on the lexar that comes with the XL, same thing
games and BBB work fine in CIA format
If you have BBM you do not den dev menu, same thing.
Sounds like you have bad copies of the cia you are trying to install. Obtain from a different source.
Let me know how that works.
I meant that I wanted to see if Devmenu would work or not, so I could confirm whether all other Devtool .CIAs had the same issue.
All .CIAs in the Devkit pack do not work.
Ok. But BBM does work and was obtained by a different source (at least it was for me)
I assume you are using BBM to install the tools.
For me if I have more than one cia in the root of my Sd card BBM will not allow me to navigate with the d pad. Not is not supposed to be a problem but is for me. Try removing BBM and installing dev menu first.
