I tought that i was like SmartPhones. For example, my Htc One m8 loses 1% of battery every hour in sleep time. It's very good. I expected the same thing in the 3DS... I was wrong ;)
Tbh I haven't done any full on testing, have a.look online.I'm sure someone will of broke it down more, as I said disabling wifi will probably help as the 3ds farts about with streetpass stuff in sleep mode

I injected save into the the new cart2 game.. but it says save corrupted.

Is it because I used a retail dumped save? XD
I don't know if there is any logic to how big the nand saves. For a game are, but generally they are not 512kb, so it's unlikely you will be able to carry over any saves retail or gateway,

I know that I was unable to carry over my games to GW because of how the file sizes were smaller than 512.

I believed that since nand games read the save from within the rom, I thought it would circumvent that issue.


I'm wondering if there's a location that determine the sizes of the game saves..

Its programmed into the game source code. There's no practical way of changing it.

Never was good at naming homebrew. :P
When I run the program, it opens and automatically closes instantly, giving this error (I'm trying to convert Mario Kart 7 .3DS):
"Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 4, in <module>
IndexError: list index out of range
"
(Yes, there is this last one empty line)
