No, I have only one save (named 000400000FF40A00.sav)

Strange, it should work. Can you send me your save, so I try transfer it myself?

I have the same problem.

CTR Card is broken!

3DS XL EU
GW 3.03
SYSnand 4.5 / EMUnand 9.4.0-22
Savedatafiler 53176

Tested games with CTR Card is broken:

Harvest Moon - A new Beginning EUR
00040000000EAE00.sav

Super Mario 3D Land EUR
0004000000053F00.sav

Nintendogs + Cats: Toy Poodle & New Friends - EUR
0004000000031600.sav

Atlantic Quest EUR
0004000000123B00.sav

I have tried many times.
Have mounted the game before with SELECT.

If there are more than 000400000FF40A00 > 000400000FF40AXX, remove them and try again. Gateway seems to add files if one file is corrupt or blocked.

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

Strange. I have 22 games installed, but only have 10 saves on my SD.

.cia installed games don't have the .sav files, they are only created for games run from the gateway cart, and card2 games (like pokemon, animal crossing, and most VC games) dont make a .sav file either

Well then I only ever had 3 card games, 1 of them CARD2.
Also I know for sure one of them is from an installed title.

check the titleID on http://3ds.essh.co, you will be able to find out what game the save is for

so for example, 000400000007AF00 is the titleID for new super mario bros 2, so the save would be 000400000007AF00.sav on the SD card, so you can just search for the filename on essh to see what game the saves are for

I found a workaround how to export/import Card1 Savegames (no retail support)

Hey Liomajor, maybe you want to rephrase my post and post it on your first post.

This is a quick guide for retail cart dump, by using CFW.

The point is some of my installed games have a save on SD, those files shouldn't be there.

merlin555 · Feb 1, 2015

I have now delete all files, to this:
Nintendo 3DS
Launcher.dat
savedatafiler

1. Select the game to mounten.
Super Mario 3D Land EUR
2. Savedatafiler
3. on CTR Card --broken-- line X Button.
4. File Type: broken user save data

In GW Mode:
1. Select the game to mounten, Super Mario 3D Land Euro

Can someone make a video? I understand but not exactly. its really hard (for me) to follow the steps without visual aid.

merlin555 · Feb 1, 2015

I found the save for Savedatafiler on SD:\Nintendo 3DS\6e90ef9ba9357818401f1950a509ca67\1a4500d2473022905344333200824a54\title\00040000\0ff40a00\data\00000001.sav
on the root is the file 000400000000FF40A00.sav.
On a text viewer i see that no data on it.
I move the SD:\Nintendo 3DS\6e90ef9ba9357818401f1950a509ca67\1a4500d2473022905344333200824a54\title\00040000\0ff40a00\data\00000001.sav
to SD:\ 000400000000FF40A00.sav

Sure, i'll add it

As for CFW sometimes we need patience, at least for me for unknown reason its unstable and works only 1 time out of 10 tries.

same issue for me.
it annoyed the heck out of me, but I finally could play asphalt because of it

merlin555 · Feb 1, 2015

Now,, its work. sorry! i have read the tutorial not so good.

titleid.sav to 000400000000FF40A00.sav
But only saves that i make on this 3DS.

I have a backup of my old 3DS with the saves.
And move this to my new 3DS as file 000400000000FF40A00.sav

But then, the CTR card is broken!!

I have test it with Super Mario 3D Land Eur.
the savefile 00000001.sav in dir
3DS\Nintendo 3DS\60282e2c6cc9d595bde51f805b1af3b7\1a4500d2473022905344333200824a54\title\00040000\00053f00\data\
to SD:\000400000000FF40A00.sav

My new 3DS\Nintendo 3DS\ID1\ID2 is not the same as the backuped ids.
Its that the problem?

If CTR is still broken when the game is mounted and 000400000000FF40A00.sav
is present for SafeDataFiler, maybe the Game's Header or Filesize doesn't match.

merlin555 · Feb 1, 2015

Yes.. the filesize by Super Mario 3D Land is 131072 bytes.
i test it on another game

Just noticed, you took the .sav from "Nintendo 3DS\ID1\ID2\" <- thats impossible as 000400000000FF40A00.sav!

"Nintendo 3DS\ID1\ID2\" = eShop , "000400000000XXXXXXX.sav" = Card 1

If your ID1\ID2 does not match after downgrade or backup before formating 3DS,
your Save is LOST if there is no NAND Backup using that ID1\ID2!!!
