Castlevania Mirror Of Fate Models

Linking directly to ROM sites is not allowed, so you will either need to share the link via PM, or as you said, upload the model files as you extract them.

I knew it (Just by intuition), thanks for the info. Anyway I've found out that the limit of downloading for free in the page is 1GB per 24 hours, fortunately for me the only 3DS rom that have over 1GB is Inazuma Eleven GO 3.
besides, searching on google won't hurt anyone. 

I will share the link by PM to some good reputation rippers, and I prefer to not send a PM to RTB yet, becuz I prefer to let him focus on Pokemon 3DS models (maybe after he finish it). 

Once I learn the tutorial of extracting models from 3DS roms, I will proceed.

walp that's good too here

I have some problems on my attempt to extract Castlevania mirror of fate files. I will explain it with as much details as I can.

First of all, I've followed every step from GBATEMP forum about extracting files from Nintendo 3DS roms, and I've downloaded everything they linked on their post to do so.
First of all, I extracted the ROMFS from Castlevania mirror of fate rom.
Weirdly the file came with almost 30% reduced disk space, (1.4 GB of 2.0GB from original 3DS rom) I dunno if it was
the cause of the error, but sounds too suspicious.

Second, I proceeded to use 3DSExplorer just like on GBATEMP said I must do to decrypt the ROMFS by generating a XOR pad, but at first my computer freezes for some minutes, and once it regains functionality an error message pops up saying.

"Error: CRC Error or Corrupt Save file"

I decided to do that on my own way, so I decided to make the XORpad by draging the ROMFS to XOR.EXE (Included with everything I've downloaded so far to try my first ever model extracting on 3DS) and the XORpad was finally generated luckily with the same file size, like it should be as explained on GBATEMP (of course if we keep in mind that the original encrypted ROMFS is 600MB lower in disk space than the original 3DS rom, so the same happens with the XORpad)

Then. I decided to make the final step to get the files, and downloaded the last file I forgot to download until then, the Ctrtool.
I used this command line to extract the XORpad.

"ctrtool.exe -t romfs --romfsdir=Castlevania DecriptedRomFS.bin"

but the second error happened.

"Error: Could not open imput file!"

after those two epic fail attempts. I decided to quit from doing this... I dunno what the heck should I do, nor the files I have to use, and considering that some ppl said about a 7.x key thingy that is yet unreleased and was capital to get the models from games like Super Smash Bros 4. 
and I cannot simply get models from a game that came a few years ago?. Then what can I do? 

My projects involves a few games from nintendo 3DS, and even I could give a shot to others as well, and I've lost all my hopes on getting those models. 

somebody help me please.

Afaik you're supposed to generate the xorpad using some homebrew on the 3ds.

[Farlavor]

Afaik you're supposed to generate the xorpad using some homebrew on the 3ds.

Then what's I'm supposed to do with the roms I downloaded so far?
And my 3ds isn't on 4.5 version, but just over 6.x version.
Are you really thinking its possible just to find a 3ds with 4.5 firmware and... Cheap?

It's indeed a total pain in the *CENSORED*

Point is you can't do anything with the roms without a 4.5 3ds.

Well... The only question is... What the heck should I do with these roms? Uploading them to this site? Or what?... Because, this guy wants models from a game rom I have, and nobody cares about that at the moment. And I cannot ask to RTB because I still want plenty of Pokemon models from X/Y/OR/AS.

Unless you have an idea of how can I give the rom to this guy legally without breaking any rules from this forum. Then tell me how I will thank you earnestly. Ok?

Or just in case, where can I get a VERY OLD and cheap Nintendo 3ds with 4.5 firmware?, even if it comes from amazon or eBay.

I dunno why should I be the only one who do this. Even if by any chance I have a 3ds with 4.5 firmware. I am not an expert of coding, and all I know about programming is far too obsolete and forgotten. Even honestly I tried for over 3 weeks imputing cheat codes for disgaea 4 on my ps3 with CFW DEX 4.50 and every atempt done by me ended with failure (ccapi, Tmapi, RTE, Netcheat, Codeunique, eboot mod, etc.). So if I cannot do something easy like that? Then extracting models from a 3ds rom the way GBATEMP explains, is by far the most complicated.

So if I cannot do a simple file extracting. I can only provide the rom and let the others do the rest.

You can send it through PM.

[mr.walter]

So we have come too an impass

[Farlavor]

Not so fast Walter... maybe if I get a 3DS with 4.5 Firmware... would be more easier... because getting the Flashcart is now kinda piece of cake (Unless you get scammed with a Fake gateway clone), it's distributed almost worldwide, and I can get one from an Spanish store (I live on Spain)... The main problem is getting a nintendo 3DS with that kind of firmware, because those were released if I recall correctly in 2012 (Probably 2011). Is it possible to find a nintendo 3DS that it's too outdated at the end of year 2014?

maybe due for the Gateway release, there are no more of those 3DS's.

PS: Just I know that nintendo 3DS with that firmware are commonly sold along with Monster Hunter 3.
if you know of an online store that is still selling that kind of pack, please send me a link. and I will start saving to buy it. ok?
once I find out it's the one with the firmware I need, I will buy Gateway...

PS2: Even after doing that, I will need all your help to start doing the ripping. I don't know anything of those key shenanigams that the 3DS does have and I need to complete the ripping of roms, The only keys I know are the ones I use to open the door of my house and the encryption keys from PS3 that made me impossible to edit my save games to put cheats without corrupting them .
and maybe finding a cable that connects the 3DS with the computer to do the stuff may be a problem that I can't solve at this moment.

as am aware as long as the 3ds model is not a speaciel edition, because it would be around firmware 5.1 
if it says @2012 Nintendo the the frim ware will be around 4.1- 4.5 so i do suggest you look at the boxes if you decide too get one, but even that's a gamble am pretty sure there is way too downground too 4.5 though

the only problems I find are mainly two...

1- The prize of the console, even if it's an old console from years ago, a Nintendo 3DS are normally at 100€ aproximately, no matter the kind of firmware it may have, specially a bit more expensive if it's a pack with a game.

2- I cannot find out the firmware version just by seeing the box (I dunno if it's printed somewhere in the box or should you open it and look at 3DS setup screen to discover it's firmware version), so even if I have the money (That I cannot, becuz I'm saving for 2 PS Vita games and 1 Steam game) I can't afford wasting +100€ for a console that is updated above 4.5 firmware and that kind of gambling means a total waste of that money if I fail.

so, the only way to know, is where can I get just that nintendo 3DS and it's version only (4.5), I can't afford wasting more than just 50€ and I must start saving in 2015 after buying Torchlight 2 in steam and the 2 PS Vita games (Both are Disgaea 3 and 4).

I hope you understand my situation, living in spain means living with such low resources. 

Quick Edit: If I readed really carefully the spanish news from Elotrolado.net and it's really true, Then the next gateway update will work with 9.x firmwares... if that so... Then... AAAAW YEEEEAAAA... But I dunno if it's a guarantee, considering they said the same thing with 6.X firmwares, unless they said that for the most ppl who accidentaly updated their 3DS for any random reason, or was just becuz they had found an exploit only for 9.x firmwares.
although, if I find a nintendo 3DS with 4.5 firmware to buy, I will try to buy it, and I hope to get Gateway as well...
then I will ask you how to perform step by step the model ripping... I have Skype, Telegram, Whatsapp, Line and Cubie. and I will PM it to TGE, RTB and/or you if I have the stuff I needed to do the ripping of Castlevania or any other 3DS game rom.

Quick edit 2: They found it, the exploit for 9.x versions... so anyone having a 3DS with updates of 5.x/8.x... update it right now... so you can use gateway as well when it's released. very soon, We will start do the ripping of every model of 3DS games.
I suggest you to do it as well Mr Walter (Unless of course you have 4.1-4.5 firmware on your 3DS, in that case DO NOT UPDATE), then you will need a Gateway (And in the worst case scenario, a cable to connect the 3DS directly to the PC by USB or anything else) just the only thing we must remember, is that we must wait the next update of Gateway install software on their website, of course it will work even on old Gateway cartriges.

ok so my 3ds is a 9.x but what is the exploit so we can get started, plus they released a new update

Just... DO NOT UPDATE your 3DS...

Once Gateway 3DS is updated... in the instruction book it may have, you will know how to do the exploit... ok?
I can't remember it clearly, but it's very easy anyway. anyway, without the flashcart... you cannot do the exploit. becuz you need the Gateway cartrige, and gateway must be updated so it may work on your 3DS. otherwise, It will only work on 4.1-4.5 3ds firmwares.

if you update over 9.2 version... say goodbye to your future model rips. do you understand?

PS: I deleted all my connections on my 3DS setup, to prevent any attempt to get updates by connecting to the internet. You should do it as well.

The update is in WIP state. so you have to wait for the update... meanwhile you may purchase the gateway right now, it's an upgradable flashcart... so once the update is available, you just have to update it by the instructions on the official gateway page. I will PM you the link to prevent any problems in the forum. please read all the info from the official page in case you have any doubt what to do, how to do de exploit or how to update your flashcart.
