So, start off going here: http://smealum.github.io/3ds/

Download the Homebrew Starter Kit and unzip it into the root of your 3DS SD card. It will put a file in the root and make a 3DS folder with other stuff.
Remember to unzip the contents of the Starter folder, not the folder itself.

Also get JK's Save Manager: https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-jks-savemanager-homebrew-cia-save-manager.413143/
Again, unzip it to the root and it will put everything where needed. Same as before, you want the contents, not the folder it's all in in the zip.

Assuming you're using Ocarina of Time, you need: https://github.com/yellows8/oot3dhax/releases

Now, put your OoT in your Powersaves and back up your save.
It goes in C:/Users/<Your User Name>/PowerSaves

On http://smealum.github.io/3ds/ use the Otherapp/robpin tool. Put in your system type (old or new) and the version. Hit download ropbin. It will give you a file, you don't need to save it, just keep it up for reference.
In the zip for the OoT hack, there will be a couple of folders with PowerSaves files. There's two sets, I used the bottom. You may have to try the other if it doesn't work. Go to the folder for the country your system is for, and in it find the file that matches the ropbin file that you have for reference.

Copy that file to the directory of your PowerSaves backups. Copy the name of the backup you had made, then delete/rename it, and paste the name as the new name for the file you grabbed from the OoT folder.
Then when you load up PowerSaves, you restore that file back to the cart.

Then, with your SD card back in your system, load up OoT on your 3DS. Hit A to get to the start, load up the hacked save, and when everything is loaded on screen in the game, hit A. This will boot the Homebrew.

Once in the Homebrew, put your MHG cart in, and go down the list to JK's save program. Select ExtraData, and export. Give it a name and export it.
Now you can pop your SD card in your computer, and run the MHG editor and just load up the exported file, which will be under the SD:/JKSV/ExtData/<Game Name>/<Save Name you choose>

Once you're done, save, then pop the SD back in and just do the same, except Import the extradata.

And you're done.

I don't get the OoT part. I dont have ocarina of time physical catridge and also this part is very confusing

"Copy that file to the directory of your PowerSaves backups. Copy the name of the backup you had made, then delete/rename it, and paste the name as the new name for the file you grabbed from the OoT folder.
Then when you load up PowerSaves, you restore that file back to the cart."

I found the file that matches the ropbin file and pasted it in my C/USers/Name/PowerSaves3DS

then what do u mean by copy the name of the backup and then delete/rename it etc? i totally dont get it sorry trying really hard here.

Hey
Pretty fast, but I doubt it would work
hey APM I am going to sound dumb. But I was able to use your save editor for MH4 was wonderful. And was able to experience the game at its fullest and called you ever since. But now I'm having trouble, I don't know how to use your new MHG/X editor. Well convert the files that is. I need help pls. I thought you could do it the same way you did it with mh4 but I don't know how its done now. So a tutorial would help. Or instructions like you did with mh4 would help. Thnx bud

told you I would sound dumb. For some reason I was able to to save edit mh4 but not this game. The main problem is when I'm on 3ds. I go in and try to svdt but it brings up all the stuff on SD card instead of the simple press a and press b stuff

Install JKSM. (its really easy)

Then after its installed, boot into Homebrew. Start JKSM and put in your MHGen Cartridge (If you have the Installed Version just cycle through your apps)
Then click on it. Go into Extra Save Settings ---> export the Save
Put the Save on your PC (it's called system (theres another file called system_backup which is a backup. Rename it to system if your file corrupts))
Edit the File on your PC.
Put it back into the folder.
Then Boot Homebrew
Click on MHGen
Extra Settings --> import the File.

Voila You're done.

And ALWAYS have a Backup!

Should work for it

just to clarify something. I used the starter kit from the main site itself and have unzipped all the files into the root of my SD card. Do I need to use the one in the video? Because i have been refreshing the page on my 3ds now for like countless times lol

Use the ones from the Video. Those are new files IIRC

Also be sure to use the correct URL since there are URL's for Old 3Ds and New3ds

I'm using an old 3ds XL so this URL right? http://yls8.mtheall.com/spider31hax.php

Still not getting any response from the site. How can I use this save editor from APM if i can't even get through this section....
