How to play free 3DS games online with skydock?
The SkyDock is a specially designed adapter for Sky3ds+, it was released by the Sky3ds team. This adapter runs on the new Sky3ds+ V140 firmware. SkyDock allows Sky3ds+ card users to obtain private headers, 3DS ROMs and data saved in the 3ds game from any of your original 3DS game cards. We will now explain how to use SkyDock with Sky3ds+ to get a private header for online gaming.
Preparation:
- Sky3ds+ card
- SkyDock
- Original 3DS game card
- MicroSD card (for the Sky3ds+ card, the size is yours.)
- Sky3ds+ V140 Firmware
First, install your Sky3ds+ V140 firmware on your Sky3ds+.
Download the Sky3ds+ V140 firmware and copy the firmware.bin file to the root directory of your FAT32 MicroSD card. Insert your MicroSD card into Sky3ds+.
Second, insert the Sky3ds+ with the V140 firmware and one of your original 3DS game cards into the two SkyDock slots, then connect Sky3ds+ to your PC with a USB cable. The blue LED blinks and a new savekeys.txt file is created on the MicroSD card. The savekeys.txt file is used to register a private header.
Third, press the orange button on the Sky3ds+ card, the red light will blink once. Two files (.CFG and .SAV) will be created on your MicroSD card.
The CFG file contains the specific information (CART_ID, FLASH_ID, ROM header …) of this original game card.
The SAV file saves the backup of your original game card (the save date works directly on the Sky3ds+ card)
Then, hold down the orange Sky3ds+ button, do not release it until the red LED starts blinking. The red LED will continue to flash for several minutes, then go to the green LED and continue to flash. Once the LED is off, a .3ds file will be created on the MicroSD card. The .3ds file is the ROM 3ds of the original game card. (Alert: The flash time depends on the size of the game.) The bigger the game, the longer the time, wait patiently, never disconnect the USB cable until the green light continues to flash, otherwise, 3ds ROM will not load properly on your 3DS.)
NOTE: The created.cfg file only supports online play for a 3ds Rom from the original 3DS game card. If you want to play other games online, open the savekeys.txt file and copy the line “GAMESAVE_KEY” to the settings.txt file.
