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.

it depends. some people the badges get merged and they get both. others lose februarys. just reimport the savefile and they should be back. i have no idea why it's different.

the error mean is the file not found. also you need to add line for this game. check top post's tutorial video.
I did everything the video showed me to do. I merged the data successfully its just importing that fails. Also what do you mean by "the error mean is the file not found"? Which file??? Thanks in advance!

if you got febuarysn0w's badges it's because they are wrong region.
i read that only special badges are possible to be placed at folders, even if they have the correct region.
no your info is completely wrong, sorry. you're thinking of the shortcuts to system apps.
on 9.5 emunand i literally don't have the option to put badges on folders. it's not in the menu. :/
