newf

Significance

newf is the game code's identifier for the flash data's magic number.

Syntax

• zs $filepath -- Loads the flash memory data file $filepath, fills in the magic number and new checksum for File 1 and exits.
• zs $filepath -1 (unsigned int) -- Same as above but interprets the extra string parameter as a whole number between 0 to 15 (any base) to update the corresponding section of flash memory for data validity (the magic number and checksum).
• There is no command-line flag or switch specifically for writing to newf, as there is no reason for a user to write anything other than the text 'ZELDA3' to it so that the game will accept the data.

Tested Inputs

Only the magic number 0x5A454C444133 (ASCII: "ZELDA3") is a legitimate value for game files. Anything else causes the game to dismiss the memory section as an empty, unused file in the File Select screen.
