Here's something that I noticed. 1:06 - "Sensei Encryption" is actually the wrong term, its a Digital Signature which explains why we can't reverse engineer it. It uses a private key to sign the figure, and a public key to verify that signature. We cannot generate dumps without this private key. This Method of removing the check for the signature does not save data to the figure, but there was currently 2 others that do save data to the figure and can just be used on an emulator or hardware
Peak is finally here thanks to Texthead THE GOAT and Boom for making this simple tutorial 🙏 also, much thanks for shouting out my NFC tutorial 🔥 ⚠REMEMBER: DO NOT BUY SKYLANDERS NFC CARDS, MAKE THEM YOURSELF! DONT ENCOURAGE SCUMMY SELLERS TRYING TO MAKE A QUICK BUCK!!
Extra info and fixes for those curious: You can do this trick on emulated portals present in Dolphin and CEMU, just load the first dump and then the second dump on the same figure slot. Additionally, you can load more than 1 invalid 2016 dump if you have more error bypass tags to pull the exploit. However, the RAM of the Portal and RAM of the game need to be synced up in a way that the error bypass occupies the same slot as the previous figure, which might be difficult to do outside of emulator. This trick does actually work in SWAP Force and SuperChargers, but any tag can be generated correctly and thus no bypass is needed. No info will save to your tag however. This trick also doesn’t work with the unreleased Creation Crystals as the game is never able to read the info it requires. You may want to unplug your Portal first before putting on the first dump if you’ve already put any figures on the Portal to reset the figure indices, then unplug it again when placing on the second dump so they both use the same slot. Note that you may want to unplug the Portal for up to 2 seconds to allow for all the internals to fully reset. Also the note about it being encryption is slightly wrong, it’s actually an additional security check employed in almost all Imaginators figures, involving asymmetric cryptography in the form of digital signatures that the game normally requires. There are ways on modded consoles or emulators to skip this step, but as it stands, this is the only method we have to play as Heartbreaker Buckshot on completely unmodded consoles
Wow, I sure do hope this works on my switch version. Especially since it’s the only way to play the game for me. I cannot wait to get my grubby nubs on a level 80 imaginator.
@@Lazu__li The thing is you’d need to unplug the portal for this. In this case, it’d be one of the joy cons. (I forgot which one.) I suppose it could potentially work, but considering how different the scanning in and portal detachment is, I highly doubt it.
@TacoDog627 the cutscenes don’t stop that (as seen in speedruns), it just won’t do enough damage. You’d need to upgrade the weapons a lot to one shot hard and nightmare kaos
@@NoName-wb1er well you can go all the way to 80, were before it was 64, I mean you can do it on legit hardware, but since it's exploit I would imagine that it would not be allowed in speedrunning
On the site, it says “Unobtainable characters such as Heartbreaker Buckshot or VVind-up are banned, and should not be registered on the save file.” So no, but it doesn’t really matter since they use OP Imaginators which one shot everything, so health points aren’t really a concern but I do not know if level also effects damage points but like I said they one shot everything in the first place
might be a dumb question but have the cards in the description been tested? I've accidentally bought the wrong cards twice in a row now and I don't want to mess it up again
Nfc cards work with every skylanders game. People usually just end up using them on Imaginators because all the figures are super expensive and the cards are a cheaper alterative. While the other games are cheaper to get into, so people can usually get the actual figures.
@@BoomBringer oh that’s a relief I was abt to a trap team run but lack TM’S For Air,Tech,light,Dark so it’s good to know I can make cards for em and They’ll still work
@@BoomBringer so... i used skyreader on one skylander, put it in imaginators, and every single skylander got corrupted. they work on every other game, imaginators is the one that they're broken in specifically.
@@veggietablefruit I mean I would just reset the figure at that point. If its only that figure, it must have something wrong with it. Resetting them usually fixes everything.
WAIT EVERY SINGLE SKYLANDER? WHAT? thats not how things work. Corruption doesnt spread from skylander to skylander. If you do need to fix them I have a guide for that. th-cam.com/video/EuFiHlV3UQQ/w-d-xo.html
@@BoomBringer i don't think it's the skylanders problem, i think it's the game since, like i said, they work on other games (i only tried them on ssa and trap team though)

So how does one figure out this private key? Would we need someone who worked on the game?
@ i don’t think we could ever get this private key. Removing the check for this signature entirely is the best way to use invalid dumps
Wow, that’s really cool and interesting!
and what are the 2 other methods?

@@Texthead👑
Love all of the informative vids you've been doing. I think they're very interesting and engaging.
This is a pleasant Christmas gift!
Thank you for this information Son.
I'm really curious how strong a level 80 imaginator would be
Love the vid! keep it up!
It wasn’t an early april fools joke?
literally just got nfc cards for christmas 🙏🙏
Same! I got over a hundred!
Finally an upload

I… don’t think it does work on Switch.

Maybe you can try going to the home menu during the animation? I'm not sure how the switch version works

We fr got a way to play as Heartbreaker Buckshot before GTA VI😭🙏
We love Texthead in this house
ABSOLUTE CINEMA
Peak has arrived
THE GOAT
Great tutorial of the end to 2024
Masterful coding by Texthead!
Oh btw did you find a way to do this with the unreleased creation crystals?
From your last vid you should make skylander edits
I had one of the normal ones but I traded it for Imaginator crystals, and I regret it
Awesome! By chance, can a level 80 imaginator one-shot kaos on any difficulty?
Probably not, especially since there are cutscenes in between.
@TacoDog627 the cutscenes don’t stop that (as seen in speedruns), it just won’t do enough damage. You’d need to upgrade the weapons a lot to one shot hard and nightmare kaos
@@JimmyAntavius noted
you didnt talk about the patch made by maff to remove the signiture on cemu
It's banned for speedruns, right? It wouldn't make that much of a difference raising your level cap by one, but still...

REAL
What is the max health for Imaginators now?
I’ve always wondered
Do nfc cards only work in imaginators
or can they also work in previous games?
they work in all games

can i do this on cemu aka wii u emulator with a digital portal?

does this work with skylanders that are actually corrupted?
umm maybe... but why would you need to do that? if a skylander is corrupted why not just fix it instead?
