EXPORT .3ds/.3dz to eShop:

4. Turn it on and execute Exploit

Which exploit? Where can I found it?

Okay, I guess importing to a retail cartridge doesn't work right now, probably due to the game being a 6.x save crypto one. Gateway needs to fix their stuff and finally support the new save crypto everywhere, I think GW mode is still stuck with <6.x. What I did:

1. Mount scene dump ROM (kirin-mh4g.3ds)
2. Create character on scene dump ROM
3. Follow steps 1-7 of "Export" part of the guide (works fine, raw files get extracted)
4. Mount own dump of retail cartridge (BFGJ.3dz)
5. Follow steps 3-9 of "Import" part of the guide
6. Rename 000400000FF40A00.sav to BFGJ.sav (serial)
7. Get to Gateway menu
8. Import save

Wants me to format the cartridge savedata when I want to play it in SysNand (9.2) or Classic Mode (9.4).

E: Yeah, it's a matter of Gateway mode. I dumped my 6.x crypto save from the retail cart, renamed it to 000400000FF40A00.sav, mounted the 3dz ROM dump of the same cartridge and SDF says it's broken.

I haven't managed to get this working yet. Anyone else had success on a EUR console?
I found that 000400000FF40A00.sav didn't already exist on my SD, tho 000400000FF40A02.sav did (region difference?) - but it didn't work when I copied the save to either filename, I always got "broken" in SDF.
Any ideas?

don't work with Smash Bross EUR from 3DZ to CIA, but works fine with others games like Kriby

I can't get it working...

I execute the GW DS Profil exploit on my 4.5 3DS.
Boot emunand
Press select to mount a card1 game with the GW ROM MENU
Launch savdatafiler: CTR is broken

Yes, you can. You already could before if it was a Card 2 game. This only changes the situation for Card 1 game saves that until now couldn't be converted

i would still like to know where that titleID was pulled from....i had originally guessed that maybe rebuilding SDF to use the titleID of a card1 game might enable you to do this as the gateway card would load up the matching save....but never actually tried it........ at first i was thinking that might be what the person was doing here, only renaming the save to match save data filers ID....but that doesnt seem to be the case, as the titleID in this post is 000400000FF40A00, but the SDF cia i have uses 000AF40F00000400(EDIT, unless this is just the windows extension messing up the cia's title ID as its the same, but jumbled up)

oooohhh actually, nvm i see, there must be builds with a different titleID, the .3DS save data filer uses 000400000FF40A02, so the unique ID would be FF40A, same as the titleID in this post, the 02 vs 00 doesnt effect the TitleID iirc...trust me to over complicate stuff planning to change the titleID of the rom, rather than the name of the save

....so yeah people having issues, check the titleID of your SDF

I can confirm that this work for converting .3ds saves to .3dz saves and vice versa. Just remember to rename 000400000FF40A00.sav to the proper ID after importing.

Wow, we had the ability to do this all along and didn't realize it. Gratz on your finding, liomajor!

I doubt it or else they would have announced it already. This is just something that went unnoticed until now. lol

It works on 2.7, so no.

I have got it to work, thanks!
But I want to know why this is the case when you import the exported .3ds save within the SD tab you have to use L+A? Simply A will throw an error.
But after L+A imported to .cia and you exported again from the .cia this time, then that save you can simply press A in the SD tab to import without an error.
I've checked the content of them and they are exactly the same except one file but thats a file not related to the game content, its the file [ID]_.dat
So what is inside this file?

Do you know why titles installed to the system still have a sav file in sd root?

no idea, i presume when you load a game(well not specifically a game but any title to be specific), it just automatically loads up the save for that specific titleID to the save chip (even if its booting a cia file, but if its a installed game the save is just ignored, but still loaded to the gateway cards save chip).....so in this example you loading up SDF, so it will load up the SDF's titleID save to the gateways save chip.........so if you have a save from a different game there, that will be loaded up instead.....idk, thats all i can think it is

It doesn't work for me with any game... I don't know why... I must do something wrong

This is what I did:
-I executed the GW DS Profil exploit on my 4.5 3DS.
-Booted emunand
-Press select to mount a card1 game with the GW ROM MENU (Tried with Super mario 3ds world, Luigis mansion & dead or alive)
-Launch savdatafiler: CTR is broken

Let me guess, you have two saves on youre SD card? One with game TitleID and one renamed to 000400000FF40A00.sav? You need delete the first one (don't forget to backup it)
