-  * General Note: If you are submitting this info to a person/group in order for them to add it to a database, you can skip the transcription of some things, and leave it to them. But it can make the process smoother if you do the transcription yourself. +
-  * Link(s): Link to release post/page, if applicable. +
-  * Decrypted ROM file info: To encrypt a copy of the ROM in order to get the encrypted hashes, use [[https://github.com/SabreTools/NDecrypt|NDecrypt]],  [[https://archive.org/details/3dsEncryptV4|3ds_encrypt_v4.py]] or GodMode9 itself (use "NCSD image options">"Decrypt file" on the copy) +
-  * Serial. You can find this at 0x1150 in the ROM. +
-  * Revision. You can find this at 0x312 in the ROM. +
-  * Cart Images: Back and front. +
-  * Cart ID: Get this from the .txt file provided by GodMode9 +
-    * Technical note - GodMode9 displays these in the little endian byte order (i.e. first byte is the chip manufacture byte), which makes sense as the 3DS CPU is little endian (as are the DS and DSi's CPUs). But the gbatek documentation of the [[https://problemkaputt.de/gbatek.htm#dscartridgeprotocol|cart protocol]] displays these in big endian byte order (i.e. last byte is the chip manufacture byte). +
-  * Box Barcode: Keep the spaces. It should be verified against the barcode itself by using barcode scanning software and using the check digit. +
-  * PCB Serial: Use for ''▼'' for the triangle character, one space character ('' '') for each empty "slot" and ''•'' for the small circle characters (which don't always appear). +
