Hi, Capcom recently posted this:
https://www.capcom-support.com/hc/e...-Services-for-Nintendo-3DS-and-Wii-U-Software

Online services (online play and other functionality that makes use of online communication) for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U will come to an end in early April, 2024, and on the softwares affected list they mentioned this save data transfer app as well.

So I wonder... will be still possibile to use the save data transfer utility between Generations on 3ds and Generations Ultimate on the switch after servers will close?
Maybe with pretendo and then making the switch connect to a specific dns server to access the transferred save data?
Or more simply still be able to use the save data transfer utility but locally or completely offline and then we could manually move the converted save into the switch/emulator?

If I remember correctly, its a password system, so there's a chance its all on Capcom's servers, if its the case, they can just keep it running despite Nintendo shutting down their stuff (like PokéBank will still work).

I am really hopeful it could still work with Pretendo and similars or even directly like Pokébank does!

Pretendo don't have Switch stuff, have it? And even when/if they do, they won't have the same save conversion software as whatever its on the server that does it currently. They can do something similar? Probably. People have thought ways of doing it offline https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-transfer-your-mhxx-3ds-save-to-mhgu-on-switch.637578/. Doing it on a server would only take some extra work.

Yeah they don't have Switch stuff atm, but I don't know where the conversion happens to begin with, before uploading the save? Or before downloading it, maybe the app itself does the conversion and it isn't made server-side? (so the server is just used as a cloud to then transfer it into the switch)

Manually move? Not happening ever officially. And if Capcom had plans to change the save moving process to work locally, they would've updated the 3DS app before the closing was looming so close. But as I said before, the internet will find a way.

Yes but it was related to my previous answer if the conversion can be done with that app and it still generates a converted save file I could then move myself totally offline or locally somehow. It all really depends on how this software does work.

    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
