Powersaves

go to 4chan.com for updates

You know powersaves have started making people pay for hacks if they want to use them for the first weeks/month a while back right?

>>29893491
How do you pay for them though? Like what website or is it through the 3DS?

god I feel bad for people who have been ignorant enough to continually use this shitty, limited, DRM action replay w/ in app purchases, instead of simply hacking their 3DS to use NTR and PKHeX

>>29893491
I have had a powersaves since shortly after the release of XY and never had to pay real money for a damn thing. Other than the actual powersaves.

>>29893586
Unfortunately some of us have 11.2 and aren't willing to pay 40 on a game just to use homebrew or whatever...

>>29893627
You don't have to pay 40 for a game, this isn't 2014, and I don't know how you've managed to own a Powersaves, probably be in powersaves communities and ask questions about it, but not figured out that you shouldn't update your 3DS if you want to hack, which clearly you do as you own a powersaves

>>29893380
What do you mean pay for hacks?

Updaters have no excuse. You faggots have way too many opportubities to get hacked cfw

>>29893702
I actually don't have powersaves yet, haha. Which is why I'm asking on here. I haven't looked into hacking until a few days ago, when my 3DS was already on 11.2.

Chilll bud! :)

>>29893615
Yes, that's because it was new, you need to pay for codes if you want them in any reasonable amount of time now. It sucks, but that's their business model.

To OP, they'll have codes, but you'll need to pay for their "Powersaves Prime" shit, you can find their site by simply googling "powersaves website"

>>29893789
Now I'm glad I hacked my 3DS so I don't have to deal with this shit. I had no idea they started charging a premium fee.

>>29893789
Well, shit. That is a thing now. I havent used it in ages.

Fuck that. I'll install CFW/homebrew when SM officially release so I can change natures and get rare candies easily.

>>29893789
Got it.

One question-do you know how much they usually charge for codes though? Like if it were Sun/Moon within a few days of release.

>>29893380
Don't forget to Power Up™ your Powersaves™ wallet with Powersaves™ Prime Points first though! Only then will you be able to Play with Power™!

>>29893380
Probably not.

>>29893586
It's limited but serviceable, I picked one up just because I was tired of grinding for money in XY. If you want to make pokemon of course PKHeX is way better.

I just found my old original 3DS though and unlike my XL and NXL it's on 6.1 so I'm gonna try to hack it before launch. I'll only play on my NXL but use the hacked console for making competitive sets without the grind since I already did it in gen 4, 5, and fucking twice in 6 thanks to the pentagon.

I bought one when X&Y were new

Is it useless now since I read they charge for codes?

>>29893863
Is it possible to get Homebrew on 3DS 11.2? If so how?

>>29893789
>paying to cheat at a children's video game

How cucked do you even have to be?

>cheating for free in a children's video game

Hello, Reddit!

>>29893863
You can change natures on a homebrewed 3ds?

>>29894038
No. You'll get them eventually, but I'd be willing to bet they'll put the SuMo codes behind that pay wall for a while to try to get some quick cash now that homebrew has probably taken a good chunk out of their sales.

>>29894102
Well yeah if I'm gonna do it might as well as do it myself and not pay for a device that cucks me out of its own functionality.

I legitimately cannot believe a company is doing this and people are buying into it.

>>29894166
I don't think many people are buying into it. Powersaves is probably just desperate because people only bought it for XY back then and they still have to keep up their servers.

>>29894166
What are the chances of buying a refurbished 3DS with software lower than 11.0?

what is everyone talking about? I have powersaves. you just buy that plastic adapter thing and install the software.

it auto recognizes the game and shows you the available cheats you can click on. no additional charge after you buy the adapter.

I used it last week to make some hackmons.

A side question-

What programs/ softwares would you need to do it? Or can you just straight up import it from your computer to your 3DS SD card?

My 3DS is also sadly 11.2.035...

Thanks in advance :)

>>29894219
Is it gonna be available for Sun/Moon right away though? Or are they gonna make you pay?

>>29894219
http://uk.codejunkies.com/what-is-powersaves-prime.aspx

>>29894219
you won't get SM codes on release until you pay up, goy

>>29894265
>>29894266

Oh I see.
only old games are free now. this is a new info to me but I always suspected it would happen.

I guess I will go look up how that hex thing works.

If you use it, then your a scrub.

>>29894219
Yeah apparently that stopped a while ago. I did it a lot with X&Y then got it ready for Sun and Moon and kept hitting paywalls.

How much were they charging?

>>29894841
If I'm not missing some hidden kikery, it seems to be about a dollar for one pokemon edition

>>29893380
Just export your save with a save manager then use PKHex. Why the fuck would you want to pay for something inferior?

>>29894841
You buy "pro coins" and spend one of those on getting access to a new game's codes.

>>29895308
getting the whole pkhex shit to run is pretty complicated

>>29893586
Some people like me don't enjoy hacking and like doing shit the official way lol :)

>>29895308
People are talking about save files being lost.

>>29895396
Extreme doubt.

>>29895375
Not at all. Just drag your file onto the exe and go from there.

>>29895426
but the whole homebrew stuff

>>29895422
There was literally a thread on it. Some dude fucked it up somehow and lost everything.

>>29895438
>run jk save manager
>export save
>open save file with pkhex
>make changes
>restore save
It's really not.

>>29895462
>mess up
>restore save
>corrupted
>lost all progress
nice

>>29895483
How would you possibly mess up?

>>29895462
this still requires you to hack the 3DS previously, no?

>>29895483

Literally never had that happen. Are you fucking ejecting the SD in the middle of saving or some shit?

>>29895517
If you have any sort of entrypoint, you can back up/restore saves.

>>29895461
>Some dude fucked it up
Well there's the issue. If you're not an idiot, you should be fine.

>>29895483
Only way you can fuck up is if you're literally retarded.

>>29895517
https://plailect.github.io/Guide/
Here you go, babe. Hope you didn't upgrade your 3DS like a dumbass.

>>29895497
>>29895520
>>29895563
Nope. The digital signature on the non-cart version (the Moon we all be plau) added extra remove that xcan ruin the game.

>>29895590

Scientists will be trying to decipher this post for decades to come.

>>29893789
So how long do you have to wait until you can use them for free?

I don't remember how long it took for XY and ORAS

>>29895608
They didn't have this bullshit when they came out.

>>29895608
XY and ORAS were released in a time when Powersaves was still relevant. Now that CFW is so widespread, nobody is buying their shit.

>>29895590
You talking about PASLR? what the fuck is plau

1MB, 2464x2038px

>>29895590
Ah ok, it all makes sense now.

>>29895565
I haven't bothered with homebrew yet, but if you updated, couldn't you just do a factory reset?

>>29895625
>>29895629
So paying is a permanent thing now?

Fuck that, i was going to use it SM and SMTIV Apocalypse

>>29895674
No

>>29895683
Get a copy of Cubic Ninja or Freakyforms and just use those for homebrew so you can backup saves.

Lets say I somehow fuck up with the save manager, can I make a copy of the old unedited save and just restore if needed?

>>29895394
Cheating is not official idiot

>>29895308
>>29895426
>>29895462
>>29895565
Oh yea that looks REAL fucking easy
>>29895701
I don't understand that stuff

>>29895717

You can just drop a copy of your savefile onto your desktop before doing anything with pkhex.

>>29895717
Yes

>>29895733
It should be unless you're retarded

>>29895717
Yeah, just back up the main.bin file somewhere. If you want to be careful, just copy that file to your computer as you do edits.

Pretty sure that Power Saves Prime games require you buy "Power Points" to use Power Saves functions for that game for the first 3 weeks of the game's release.

After that it's free for anyone to use. Which is fine by me i can wait that long.

>>29893864
like 1.27(CDN) or something per game.

>>29895819
>Literally 1-2 bucks

Why even bother going through the effort of hacking your old 3DS?

>>29895483
>datel writes data outside of save
>save is gone AND cart is bricked

>>29895864
because pkhex lets you easily make entire boxes of comp ready pokemon instead of tediously doing every single one

>>29893380
How would they even have the codes first day? Don't they have the hack the cartridge?

>>29895763
Still stupid but like any "business" they need the money to keep themselves going.

>>29894050
Don't update. Wait for the next exploit to be released

>>29894050
You can either hardmod or use a second 3DS with cfw to downgrade to 9.2
Apparently there'll soon be a possibility to also do this without any of the two so as >>29895962 said don't upgrade

>>29895864
>>29895886
It also doesn't require a proprietary dongle and piece of software, and doesn't require an internet connection. As >>29895882 said, if anything goes wrong during the writing process, your cart is gone.

>>29895995
There was only one jackass here who used Powersaves and bricked his own cart.

>>29895882
what does bricked mean?

>>29896061
I never personally had that happen to me, but I've seen it happen to others.

>>29896073
The card is unusable and Datel ignores your emails when you try to tell them cause they already got your money.

>>29894050
Yes oothax

>>29896078
My younger brother bricked his Pokemon Y cart, but probably because his jackass kept going back and forth all day changing shit.

Normally I only used it for money for the fashion and to change a few IVs.

But hey, we sold the Cart for cash without GameStop checking.

>>29895701
Or orcarina of time, only ways to do it on 11.2, it's pretty cheap like 15 for a powersave and a copy of OoT, and if you need an sd card reader

>>29896523
>But hey, we sold the Cart for cash without GameStop checking.
kek, good idea

>>29896610
It worked, they didn't even check it.

I am aware some employees actually keep their 3DS on hand to check if they work, but the one near where I live does not do this.

if you hack your o3DS (for FREE*) you can do a hacked system transfer to get your XL and NXL hacked too. you'll need to buy certain specific dsiware games one or more times for each system transfer

its not like im going to report them to Nintendo...oh wait i would.

>>29898299
Nintendo already knows about them, they don't care. The only time they did anything was when they uploaded a code to get the Lati twins mega stone and datel got a C&D to remove it

>>29898600
>Nintendo already knows about them, they don't care
I wouldn't say that. I'm pretty sure the last time the went after a company for making cheat devices, they lost the case.

>>29898629
nintendo did?

>>29898681
Yeah. I think they went after the company that made game genie for NES.

>>29898697
yeah they sadly did, that fucking whore Fern M. Smith rule in favor of those assholes who made game genie, if you ask me i bet she took a bribe.

>having to wait for 3 weeks till i can use the codes for free

>>29893789
man datel just keeps getting worse, next thing you know they'll be putting ransomware on sd media launcher that locks your gamecube's memory card data unless you pay a fee

Kinda unrelated but my Majoras Mask cart won't work, it keeps saying unsupported game every time I insert it, I know there are codes for it yet they refuse to appear

>>29898801
Nvm, don't rush. Enjoy the game without cheats first.

>>29895683
No. if you want the codes for free it takes up to a couple weeks of waiting. 1$ isn't going to set you back even if you wanted to buy a coin anyway.

It's really not as bad as people are making it out to be.

>>29899424
To add on to my post:

Apocalypse should be free now anyway. You won't have to pay for it

>>29899075
can they really do that? cant people sue them for ransoming their shit.

>>29899474
Yes, but they would lose their customers so it would be stupid of them to do it.

And no, there's no legal basis whatsoever for a lawsuit.

>>29899445
I live in Australia so i got to wait till the 2nd

>>29898238
It -should- work for sun and moon. I imagine there will be a flood of guides on YouTube on the 18th
