Why only via QR code and no download the .cia?

I'll add links under the QRs in a minute.

Thanks

EDIT: Now come the update and DLC with games? why? x'D is an error?

Apologies for the question as I am still new to this whole thing. How do I exactly restore a save file using the system_backup that it creates when I export extdata?

JK_ · Jul 24, 2016

@MistahMoo
Just delete the system file that's already there and rename system_backup to just system. I'm assuming some kind of edit didn't go so smooth and you want to use system_backup as a replacement, right?

That is correct. When I try to load the system_backup on the editor I'm using, only the one named 'system' is available to use. I assume by renaming it, it will work, didn't think of it. Thanks for the quick response!

This is a save manager you can install as a CIA. This means no more booting into the homebrew menu and rebooting to import and export saves.

Testing has shown that it doesn't appear to have any problems with any titles. Thanks to @Gocario, it will automatically delete any secure values.
It can also export and import ExtData IF the title uses it.

I've made it as simple as I can, while keeping the slot feature from my old save manager.
When you select backup or restore, you will have to select or create a new slot. If you don't like the input screen, you can create the directories yourself inside the game's export folder.

Save Data is exported to SD:/JKSV/Saves/[Title]/[Slot Dir]
ExtData is exported to SD:/JKSV/ExtData/[Title]/[Slot Dir]
System Save data is exported to SD:/JKSV/SysSave/
Boss ExtData is exported to SD:/JKSV/Boss/
Shared ExtData is exported to sd/JKSV/Shared/[ID]/[DIR]

Tell me if you have any issues. I've tried my best to get everything 100%, but I'm not perfect.

-FAQ-

-Why two QR codes?-
One has a font that supports Japanese, the other does not. This makes a 1.5MB difference in
size, so I figured I'd offer it for people who don't need the JPN support.

-I get a message saying "Error opening save archive!"-
This means one of two things usually. The first is that the game has not been
started and/or given a chance to format its save data. The second is that this title
saves to Extra Save Data or ExtData, like Fantasy Life or Monster Hunter Generations.

-What happened to L or R for auto dating?-
Type in the number 2 to have both formats pop up in the dictionary box.

-I can't open the Extra Data for [Title], but I know it's there.-
Some games with multiple versions, Pokemon and Fire Emblem Fates for example, save to
an extra data archive that they all share. This means I need to add a redirect for these
games before you can access it. I do not enumerate the Extra Data, I use the ID from the
title to access it or test if it's there.

-I open the 3DSX and it says "Nintendo 3DS Camera" or is blank and doesn't work-
You need the JKSM.xml file in the same directory as the 3dsx. This tells the HBL that JKSM
needs a target title.

-The 3DSX gets stuck on certain titles-
You need a newer boot and mmap files for 9.6+ files. You can find them here: https://github.com/ihaveamac/9.6-dbgen-xmls

-What is MHGSV?-
MHGSV is a save data tool specifically for Monster Hunter Generations. It is intended for people using homebrew
only on official firmwares, as it detects you system's region and uses that to determine which
archive to open. Using it on a US system with a JPN game for example will not work as it will
try to open archive 0x1870 instead of 0x1554. It does not need an xml file or target, making it easier
to work with if you only want quick save edits.

The 3DSX and MHGSV are attached to this post. I will work on getting source cleaned up and updated the next couple days when I have time. If you have any issues, be sure to tell me. It may not look too different, but I did have to change the way it worked in some places to get the home button working again.

The latest version is from 7/21/2016. It includes:

3DS Software keyboard
Home button works for most of the program. Exceptions are when user input is needed
Play coins can be set to any number between 0 to 300.
Auto centered text for menus.(This is easily changed back if no one likes it.)
Finally has color changing built in. Sliders maybe later. Any paint program can give you RGB values
Tries to imitate the way SDF handles errors(I don't like this too much and might switch back.)
Probably other stuff too.

The banner and icon were made by @Sgt. Lulz.

A big thanks to @Shadowfied, @Phanton, @Sgt. Lulz, and @A_Random_Guy for risking their saves and testing.

Source is available here: https://github.com/J-D-K/JKSM. I'm far from a pro though, so I know some could probably be done better.

hello I have some questions about this save manager, I pasted the files to the 3ds file but when I go to homebrew and try launching it the save manager just quits...can you help me fix this problem?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Feels really strange to have all text centered. Could this be selectable?

I know. I felt the same way at first, but now it feels weird to me if I use an older one. It's only one bool, so making it an option wouldn't be difficult.

You copied the whole folder and not just the 3DSX file? I test the 3DSX with yellows8's hbl launcher CIA, maybe someone who uses OOT3D to launch it can help a bit better.

Well aren't you lucky that I brought my 3ds and my games along with me on this trip.
I'll give it a test real quick. What game are you trying to use?

JK_ · Jul 24, 2016

Just an update on what's going on. The source has been updated, but it's not cleaned up yet. My PC has been having issues lately, and I wanted to get it up just in case.

Inorizushi · Jul 24, 2016

I can't seem to figure out how to import the raw savefile right now. Hold on

I'm on N3ds payload 11. Yokiwatch still red screens: (

There are browser extensions to decode QR codes in images via a right click. I use QR Secret Decoder ring for Firefox (actually Waterfox) but I know there is one for Chrome/Iron as well.

I'm trying to use mhgenerations save data editor but I need a save manager in order to save my data to use it.

I'm trying to use this tool to back up my saves while working of installing CFW, but it seems like it only detects games on my SysNAND. All of my saves are on my EmuNAND right now. Does that mean I can't back them up?

I'm on section 3 of this step in the guide.

If you have a CIA installer on your emuNAND, install the JKSM CIA on emuNAND to backup your emuNAND saves.

This is my first time making it this far in the guide, I'm not actually sure how to install CIAs yet.

If you're on section 3 of Part 4, you should have FBI injected into your emuNAND's Health&Safety app as that was Section II.

1) Put the JKSM CIA onto your SD card.
2) Launch into emuNAND, launch FBI (aka Health&Safety icon), select SD and find JKSM.cia and install it.
3) Load up JKSM after you've installed it and backup your save files.

This is exactly what I needed, thank you! The guide hadn't covered what FBI is or how to use it yet and I didn't want to mess anything up by looking ahead and confusing myself.

I am sure this has been asked many time but does this work with gateway cards? Every time I try to use it it says error opening save archive! There are quite a few saves I would like to transfer to cia's off my gateway card. But have not been able to figure out how to do so yet. It does load the correct cartridge info tho. So if I have say TFF Curtain Cal loaded it says its TFF Curtain Call at the top. Installed JKSM from the qr code this morning. Any ideas?
