I don't know whether it's available or not.
But for injecting other EUR contents into USA contents, it requires everything decrypted.
SaveDataFiler & Cyber's cheating hardware support outputing decrypted saves. But only SaveDataFiler inputs decrypted saves.
SaveDataFiler is CIA exclusive. It doesn't support GW Card1 saves & Cart saves.

You must have a 4.1-4.5 3DS to attempt that. You must have SaveDataFiler installed on your Emunand and CFW and the USA rom must either be converted to Card2 (if you want to run it from the red cart) or be in CIA format (if you're gonna install it on your emunand/CFW)

1-Export the save data from the donor EUR cartridge:
1.1- Set up the CFW on the 3DS.
1.2- Run the CFW, insert the EUR cart and run SaveDataFiler. Select the CTR card and export the user data to the SD card (Y).

2-Import the save data into the donee USA rom
2.1- Install the USA rom (as CIA) on a CFW or Emunand and run SaveDataFiler.. Got the 3rd tab, select your backed up data and import it to the SD card (R+A).
or
2.2- Convert the USA rom into Card2 and copy it to the red cart's microSD. Enter Gateway mode, select the USA game on the rom selection menu and run SaveDataFiler. Got the 3rd tab, select your backed up data and import it into the game (L+A)
If that doesn't work you may have to create a save file on the donee (EUR) game and export it to the SD card.
Then replace the save file inside the folder with the one from the donor rom (USA) and inject back.

there isnt actually really any way to do this atm, if you convert the rom to card2 it wont read a normal .sav save (even if you try to inject it)......so really it would only *potentially* work if you had already been playing it as a rom converted to card2 before you start playing....so your best bet would be waiting and seeing if gateway fixes card1 saves loading in save data filer

Nah, I imported save data from my Luigi's Mansion cart into both Card2 and CIA conversions perfectly fine.

Neither the game nor SaveDataFiler can tell the difference about card type. Card type doesn't affect the save data at all.

I guarantee my tutorial works or you get your money back.

I don't know if it'll work but you can try to :
- Backup your cartdrige save with the gateway option
-Convert your game into a cia, then install it
- In classic mode use the nintendo save transfert tool to put your cartdrige save into the cia game.
- In gw mode use SaveDataFiler on the cia game.

Can I dump my EUR cart, convert to card 2? Insert save use cart2sav.exe?
First you have to extract the user data from your cartridge's save file and right now you can only do that using SaveDataFiler installed on the CFW.
But then there's the issue of the game's uniqueID issue... but you can probably just extract a save from the USA game, replace its contents with the EUR one and inject back.

    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
