did he have cfw on the console?Hello! I am trying to help out a friend, He recently lost his console - but it turns out that he still has an sd card backup from when he upgraded sd cards recently, he got a new console - is there any chance i could pull the saves from the folder he dumped the sd card to?? would love to save them for him potentially!
yeah i got essential.exefs too, I just learned that I can use that to restore the sd card to another similar console, is that the only route? or is there a way to just decrypt it all and then pull the saves desired and move it along? lol
I got essential.exefs. mainly wondering if their are ways to decrypt saves on pc IG
Good (if it's indeed from the same console that wasn't factory restored or screwed with in similar ways in the meanwhile), you can extract the movable.sed and use that to mount the .sav's in the various subfolders of "Nintendo 3DS" and get saves in extracted format, it's tedious but certainly possible
yup! i verified! there is a full sd card backup here from helping upgrade sd cards lol It was just a modded n3dsxl - any tutorials on going about that? does the program have a gui? lolGood (if it's indeed from the same console that wasn't factory restored or screwed with in similar ways in the meanwhile), you can extract the movable.sed and use that to mount the .sav's in the various subfolders of "Nintendo 3DS" and get saves in extracted format, it's tedious but certainly possible
All with fuse-3ds
Haven't used it in many years (ha, least remarkable games and modding scene, lots of utilities but no interesting programs like on DS/Wii/PSP) but it either has one or a third party frontend, that I'm sure
I got the save pulled out with ninfs, But it doesnt seem to work, qq its also 1mb vs 472kb like it should beHaven't used it in many years (ha, least remarkable games and modding scene, lots of utilities but no interesting programs like on DS/Wii/PSP) but it either has one or a third party frontend, that I'm sure
fuse-3ds changed its name to ninfs years ago. And while it still has its uses, threeSD is considerably more straightforward.
Did Google not direct you to https://gbatemp.net/threads/restore-save-data-from-dead-3ds-2ds.606907/ ? There should be links to it everwhere now. (Be sure to read the first few posts in the thread.)
If you use ninfs you have to use 3ds-save-tool afterwards to get usable data. That's why threeSD is preferable.
that looks like a encrypted save file. May I ask what game the save file is for that you are after?
the same as the above title id, Pokemon Alpha Sapphire (usa) - does ninfs just decrypt the nintendo 3ds folder and you have to use something else to decrypt the save once its accessible in that mess?
Did you bother reading my post at all..?
If you want to do anything with that file, you will have to use 3ds-save-tool. If you use threeSD instead of ninfs, you will get the correct file right away.
Sorry been a long day, I don't mean to be annoying, Just not fully used to here despite being a member so long! I really appreciate the help! It would seem that ThreeSD wants it to be on an sd card if I am understanding how it works, Got it installed and am looking at it, I sadly only have a folder with a backup of everything, not the actual sd card - that was lost with the consoleDid you bother reading my post at all..?
Does the screenshot above not indicate I am doing just that? - It seems the tool only works with sd cards and not folders, Unless I am missing something?
It doesn't require an SD card any more than ninfs does! Files stored on an SD card are no different than files stored anywhere else.
