How to play online with sky3ds and skydock ?
The SkyDock is an adapter specially designed for Sky3DS+, it has been released by sky3ds team. This adapter works on Sky3DS+ new firmware V140. A SkyDock allows Sky3DS+ card users to get private header, 3DS ROM, and 3ds game saved data from any one of your original 3DS game card. Now we will tell you how to use SkyDock with Sky3DS+ to get private header for online game play.
Preparation:
- Sky3DS+ card
- SkyDock
- 3DS original game card
- MicroSD card (for Sky3DS+card,the size is up to you. )
- Sky3DS+ V140 firmware
First, install your Sky3DS+ firmware V140 to your Sky3DS+.
Download Sky3DS+ firmware V140 and copy the firmware.bin into the root directory of your FAT32 MicroSD card. Insert your MicroSD card into Sky3DS+.
Second, insert the Sky3DS+ with the firmware V140 and one of your original 3DS game card to the two slots of the SkyDock, then connect Sky3DS+ to your PC with an USB cable. The LED blue light will flash, and a new savekeys.txt file will be created in MicroSD card. The savekeys.txt file is used for saving private header.
Third, Press orange button of the Sky3DS+ card, the LED red light will flash once. Two files (.CFG and .SAV ) will be created in your MicroSD card.
CFG file includes the specific information (CART_ID,FLASH_ID, ROM header…) of this original game card.
SAV file backs up the game save of your original game card (The save date works on Sky3DS+ card directly)
Forth, hold and keep pressing Sky3DS+ orange button, don’t release it until LED red light starts to flash. The LED red light will keep flashing for several minutes, then turn to the green light and keep flashing. Once the light turns off, a .3ds file will be created in the MicroSD card. The .3ds file is the 3ds ROM of the original game card. (Alert: The flash time depends on the game size. The bigger the game, the longer the time, please wait with patience. Never unplug the USB cable while the green light keeps flashing, or 3ds ROM will not load successfully on your 3DS.)
Notice: The created.cfg file only supports online play for one 3ds Rom from the original 3DS game card. If you want to play other online games, please open the savekeys.txt file and copy the line “GAMESAVE_KEY” to the settings.txt file.
Region free guide: How to play other region’s games with sky3ds+
We will be interested in the USA games, JP or the modified versions of official roms like the translations of jap games. And I spoke that the sky3ds+ is compatible with homebrews whose most useful are Ninjhax and Freakyhax.
Here we will install ninjhax to use the launcher of games that will allow us to launch the roms out of EUR.
Prerequisites:
WIFI configured on the 3DS
Rom cartridge of cubic ninja version EUR
Procedure:
1 Go to this page (https://smealum.github.io/ninjhax2/), go down a little and enter the firmware version (found on the console settings home screen), old for the standard 3DS, new for the New3DS, press “update the QR code”
2 Place the contents of this archive (https://smealum.github.io/ninjhax2/starter.zip) at the root of your 3DS SD (not the sky3ds+ SD) either by unmounting the console cover or with the wireless connection tool included in the console (Settings> Data Management> MicroSD management)
Your SD should look like this
3 Run cubic ninja, then Create> QR code> Scan QR code, and scan the QR code generated previously, it may not be able to read the QR code so you face the code that occupies the largest possible part of the code screen
4 Then simply follow the installation of the homebrew.
5 To start a game of other region you will have to go to the homebrew (cubic ninja> create> QR code and it will start) and start region free launcher. Note that if you change the game with the buttons of the sky3ds+, the launcher will not recognize it so you will need to remove and put back the cartridge but nothing prevents you to press 2-3 times on the bouton to quickly pass the game.
It’s really simple to crack 3DS with a Sky3DS+ card, with this perfect card, the players can enjoy all 3DS games freely on 3DS 11.9. What’s more, the Skydock can help you to dump the private header more safe and convenient, you can order a Sky3DS+ card in Dgchips.com, and get a free skydock there. I recommend this site because I bought mine there and I got my sky3ds card with skydock in 5 days with DHL express. Now it works well as promised.
