Tutorial  Updated

Merging badge data!

Hi GBAtemp. User @shutterbug2000 has found a way to merge two badge datas to essentially give yourself the badges of another player that has made their files publicly available. In this tutorial, we'll be using @Februarysn0w's badges (he/she has collected over 900 badges).

Februarysn0w's badge data: https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=b6305612e3c95fbd&id=B6305612E3C95FBD!694&authkey=!ANwz34EVEYjGARc

1. Open the target's BadgeMngFile.dat and yours in a hex editor of your choice. (HxD is preferred)

2. Copy from 0x0 to 0xc (ctrl+g "C"; hex checked) from the target and then pastewrite the strings onto your file.

3. CTRL+G to "3E8" and select everything starting from there to the end of the file and pastewrite it to yours once again. (Alternatively, you can copy from 0x1C to 0x20 from your file and then pastewrite the strings onto the target. Using this method, you can skip step 2 and 3. Then simply copy the target file to your 3DS)

4. Save the edited BadgeMngFile.dat.

5. Copy the modified BadgeMngFile.dat and the target's BadgeData.dat onto your SD card and import them.


Please reply to this thread if this worked for you!

EDIT: A lot of people don't know what to use. If you're a CFW user, use SaveDataFiler. If you're a *hax user, use ext_data dump tool or Sunshell by Rinnegatamante.

Is there any way to keep my badges that I've already gotten, plus @Februarysn0w's badges? I got their badges yesterday, but I'd like to keep mine as well. I'll play around with the files, I guess.

Can anyone list what pokemon badges (if any) are on @Februarysn0w's data? I'd love to have more Pokemon badges than I have already, but I don't wanna lose the hard earned ones I have now... (abra family, charizard/charmeleon, rayquaza, deoxys-n and deoxys-a,also not screaming olimar, couple pikmin, etc)

Sorry if this is a weird question
There are a lot of pokemon badges. Just find out by yourself

ifnot usual then how ? . . . why in the video did he show them loaded from the app?

The first time after you alter your save, it's ok to go through the game to place your badges. The next time I entered the game it said my badge data needed to be corrected or something along those lines, wouldn't let me into the game unless I hit yes on correcting the inconsisancy. I suspect because it is a title with daily updates, that it can recognize something is wrong in your data and is set up to look for such things.

@Februarysn0w Thank you for uploading your badge data! :)


So what happens when you have 1,000 badges? Aren't you full at that point? What does it mean?

Or is it that you can only have 1,000 on the home menu..?

When I dump my exdata it doesnt come with BadeData.dat it only comes with BadgeMngFile.Dat so when I try to replace the files it can replace the new BadgeData.dat because there isn't one there to begin with. What can I do?

Can you use this to amke it possible to not ever have ran badge arcade?

Here you go, this should get the NNID number and print it on screen. The CIA/3DS versions should have the necessary permissions, and the 3DSX version is configured to launch under eShop for act:u permissions.
