Could someone make a list of all the known locations of Secret Values?

Animal crossing NL: 0x0-0x7
SSBros.: somwhere around 0x12-0x15 (this is only 4 bytes of data, secure value is 8 bytes). Probably 0x16-0x19 or 0xE-0x11 has the other part. I don't have that game, so I can't test. Any volunteers?
Pokemon shuffle: 0x2c-0x33
Rumble word: unknown
ORAS: unknown
Xy: unknown

Other games?

How would I go about finding these?

You guys are making it more complicated than it needs to be... Just extract a new save, and copy the secure value to your old one before restoring it.

Well, enlighten us to where the secure values for each game are located, since each game stores them at a different place.

EDIT: made some testing, shuffle secure value is stored either at 00imi.dat or 00main.dat

Disclaimer: noob at hex editing.

I had this problem two days ago, these are the secure value locations for the pokemon games:

ORAS: 75E00 (link-> http://projectpokemon.org/wiki/Pokémon_ORAS_Save_File_Structure )
XY: 6A800 (link -> http://projectpokemon.org/wiki/Pokémon_XY_Save_File_Structure )

My damaged save file was from omega ruby. The link says that the first five bytes are the secure values, I tried replacing that with the values of a new save file but it didn't work, then I replaced all the 16 bytes and it worked

Edit: It seems that the first 8 bytes are the secure values of the last save data and the next are those of the previous one. idk if that matters.

That's great! won't you mind testing if only the first 8 bytes work? I only have cartridge version, I can check the offset to see if it changes with each time it is saved, but that's all I can do.

Right now I can't, I'll try later. I think it should work replacing the first 8 bytes, like other games.

I think I have found the secue value in rumble work, but it is a bit more complicated:
It is in the 00main.dat file, but first the file must be decompressed using SciresM editor, then the supposed 8 bytes from the secure value are at the very end of the file (minus 2 bytes). After editing, it SciresM editor has to be used to recompress de files prior to restoring the savedata. Good thing is that the files have a CRC32 checksum, but the editor also takes care of that.

edit: wow, that's some really bad spelling and prhasing there...

I don't understand you, can you explain the process another time please

Just tested it out, replacing only the first 8 bytes does indeed work.

I'll contact the person who made the windows app for changing shuffle secure value for the source code, it justs need to change the offset where the secure value is stored. I don't know how to program GUI interfaces and I guess command line isn't for everybody.

Do you have a link of where to download the program

I have the same issue. A user on reddit posted a fix but I had issues at first.

https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCros..._cannot_use_save_data_because_it_was_not_the/

Posted a link in case you can follow it and fix it. I fixed my save this way.

Lurker here, just came to say this worked for me, that pesky "Cannot use savedata because it is not the last data saved" no more!
