when we say "images" we mean pictures of the cart and the PCB. Please read the README and then post the proper information here.

EDIT: here are some more

@dark-samus click on the arrow next to "Images" to view the images.

Sorry, new issue template. reason why they're hidden by default was to try and help reduce overall clutter.

Edit: Adding "(Click to Expand)" to the template to make it obvious, so I edited your post as well.

I'd like to note that the ace3ds+ has been found to be the same as a Blue Gateway flashcart.

This gbatemp post has quite a lot of information suggesting the carts are the same.

To support this, I tested the ace3ds+ updates (Wood and AOS) on my Blue Gatway to find they work perfectly. An untrimmed rom dump I got from my Blue Gateway is identical to the "SPONGEBOB AP_AL3E78_00.nds" posted above, and my Chip ID and HW Rev match those posted above as well (00000FC2 and 00000000 respectively).

The gbatemp post also has two update roms at the bottom for download, and my Blue Gateway works with this ace3ds+ update in particular, saying that it's already been updated to the latest version.

@az4521 is there any way you can get me the numbers on that chip with the blueish-greenish dot on it?

pixel-stuck avatar Aug 27 '17 02:08 pixel-stuck

i'll do [digit, digit] for when i dont exactly know what it is.

chip has this on it

Interestingly, both my plus's have slightly different hardware.

Newer (spongebob) is on the left both times. (older is alex rider)

Also something to note is there was a "ace3ds_fix_all" file on older versions of ace3ds's website. Not sure if for plus's at all. ace3ds_fix_all.zip This is able to tell my 2 apart

Maybe run on a gateway and see what is says? Alex rider dump (untrimmed): [ALEX_RIDER_ALXP78_00.zip](https://github.com/kitling/flashcart_core/files/1254399/ALEX_RIDER_ALXP78_00.zip)

Here's a picture of my Blue Gateway running the ace3ds_fix_all.nds rom.

I did a bindiff to compare the one @Craftyawesome posted and the one from the gbatemp link I posted to find that they're identical.

A bindiff is also how I compared the Blue Gateway Spongebob rom and the ace3ds+ Spongebob rom in the original post to find them to be identical as well.

@zaksabeast if I modified an updater, would you be willing to attempt to flash your GW blue card? Please note that it may brick the card if things don't go well.

pixel-stuck avatar Aug 27 '17 16:08 pixel-stuck

@dark-samus I know you aren't addressing me, but I can sacrifice my old one.

Craftyawesome avatar Aug 27 '17 16:08 Craftyawesome

OK, I've figured out how to patch it so that it won't give the "Don't need any patch" message. @Craftyawesome do you have a GW blue card or an ace3ds+?

pixel-stuck avatar Aug 27 '17 16:08 pixel-stuck

@dark-samus ace3ds+

Craftyawesome avatar Aug 27 '17 16:08 Craftyawesome

@Craftyawesome I was more interested in testing a GW blue card with the ace3ds+ updater.

pixel-stuck avatar Aug 27 '17 16:08 pixel-stuck

i have 2 gw blue cards

pixel-stuck avatar Aug 27 '17 23:08 pixel-stuck

it says not a valid card when i'm run the .nds file

TheGreekBoy avatar Aug 28 '17 00:08 TheGreekBoy

my gw blue cards have deep labyrinth bootstrap in home menu.

TheGreekBoy avatar Aug 28 '17 00:08 TheGreekBoy

I have a GW, but i don't want to risk it. I can help in any way?

yacepi15 avatar Aug 28 '17 00:08 yacepi15

i can risk everything:)

TheGreekBoy avatar Aug 28 '17 00:08 TheGreekBoy

@TheGreekBoy I think there're some revisions of the Blue GW card. Could you please, open the card (its very easy) and tell what code is above the connectors?

yacepi15 avatar Aug 28 '17 00:08 yacepi15

X-C

TheGreekBoy avatar Aug 28 '17 00:08 TheGreekBoy

@dark-samus Great job! It worked nicely with my Blue Gateway (Spongebob boot)

Edit: it powers on just fine too and still works great.

zaksabeast avatar Aug 28 '17 00:08 zaksabeast

What is the game on the menu?

PS: Mine is X-C1.

TheGreekBoy avatar Aug 28 '17 00:08 TheGreekBoy

It was for @zaksabeast , i didn't read the Spongebob thing. So... It can be updated? It was as simple as trying a official ace3ds updater?

yacepi15 avatar Aug 28 '17 00:08 yacepi15

@zaksabeast, what code has your gw blue card motherboard? Thank you.

yacepi15 avatar Aug 28 '17 00:08 yacepi15

@TheGreekBoy @zaksabeast can you guys take your carts apart and show me the internals? Trying to get a handle on which ones can be updated and which ones can't. So far, the ones with spongebob seem to be the ones that work with the Ace3ds+ SW.

pixel-stuck avatar Aug 28 '17 02:08 pixel-stuck

give 5 minute

TheGreekBoy avatar Aug 28 '17 02:08 TheGreekBoy

HERE is my old GW blue card HERE is my new GW blue card
