Each combination makes a totally new play experience. These powerups will then let you build your own custom Slingo game! Unlock more powerups, and build even more types of Slingo games. In Supreme, as you play, you will unlock powerups. Slingo Deluxe, and finally Slingo Supreme is here! If it's worth doing, it's worth sharing- or something like that.Slingo fans have been asking for years for a sequel to the #1 hit game To be honest, I doubt anyone will really appreciate this, but I figured I'd post it anyway. If it did, your Slingo Supreme will have the unobtainable patterns powerups unlocked with a fresh save file. It'll ask you to unlock SysNAND writing as well, so input the combo to write the data.Īfter that, you can press Start to Reboot and then see if it worked. Then click on the file "mxnds.dat" and choose Inject data and leave the offset as 00000000. To use these, simply copy the dat you want to use to your 3DS' SD card, open GodMode9, navigate to the file on the SD, copy it with Y, then navigate into SYSNAND TWLN, and navigate to 2:/title/00030004/4b335345/data/ and press A on public.sav and choose to Mount as FAT image and Navigate to it right away. With that info above, I decided to just make a couple of save files for the game available to download here that start you off with all 3 patterns unlocked, instead of just the Easy ones, since Medium and Hard are unobtainable due to a bug. Here's a breakdown of them.Ġx003A (& 0x0034) value breakdown binary flags:Ġx003B (& 0x0035) value breakdown binary flags: Meaning, you break the hexadecimal numbers into binary and each binary bit controls something. (Also 0x0034, the flags for Power Up New Status)Ġx003A and 0x003B are two bytes that control 16 different variables. Notes on 0x003A, The Flags for Power Up Unlocks The checksum it uses is actually just a simple CRC32 hash, subtracted from FFFFFFFF (I'm guessing this was some vain attempt to obfuscate it? Wasn't exactly hard to figure out.)Īnyway, with that- ihaveamac was able to make this in a minute or two:Ġx0038 2 Possibly Flags for Enabled Power Ups? The first four bytes of the file (0x0 to 0x3) are a checksum of the rest of the file (which is 0x4 to 0x2BFF). The saves for Slingo Supreme are 11KB exactly, and they have 4 bytes at 0x8 to 0xB that say "SLNG". I'm not much for disassembly- so I decided to take a gander at the Save File in GodMode9- which didn't help much- so instead I put it off until today, where I dumped many saves and asked around on the DSi Homebrew Discord for some pointed me to his document on finding checksums, and I went ahead and started to figure it out.Įventually, I managed to figure it out completely, and then I asked if he'd be down to help me by making a little python script to automate the process of correcting the checksums in the files, which he did. I thought about it and decided to try my hand at fixing it, or at least working around it. When I had this issue originally, it was before 3DS hacking was even a thing. Rather unfortunate because that makes getting the highest scores quite a bit more difficult.įast forward to now, the other day I was at my grandma's house and she was playing the IOS port of Slingo, and I thought about it again. So, I guess it's a just bug- the patterns never unlock for some reason. The next day some woman on facebook posted something about it, saying they were having the same issue. So I posted about it on GameFAQs, which is a place I regularly visited at the time. So I eventually just rolled my eyes and went online, and to no great surprise, nobody else really has posted about the issue anywhere. I only was supposed to need 7 cleared easy patterns, I ended up clearing 712. Overall, I liked the game but after an hour or to mindlessly tapping away at numbers and pulling the lever with the TV playing in the background- I noticed that two of the important Pattern powerups wouldn't unlock, even though it plainly said that I had met the requirement, I continued on anyway, thinking maybe the numbers it said I had needed were just a typo, but hours later I'd unlocked nearly everything else in the game, I decided to google for help. So, I'd say about 6 years ago, shortly after I got my 3DS, I decided to buy the DSiWare port of this puzzle game on the 3DS eShop, I believe it is $6.99? Anywho, it was ported by a company called Magellan Interactive. Not for everyone but, I grew up playing a CD-ROM Slingo game on my mom's computer. Slingo Supreme is a puzzle game by Funkitron, based in a long-standing series of Slingo games- the premise of which, is to combine slot machines, and bingo together.
