Hacking [Tutorial] Dump Retail Pokemon XY/ORAS Saves to Gateway with Powersaves

[angelc54]

im doing every step and its still not working on pkhex i get the error message: file size/type. its in .bin someone please help

EDIT: i was able to open my save in pkhex but how do i export it using savedatafiller, but the export sav tab is grey'd out

 

[AUS-Phoenix]

Thanks for this guide. I followed it after downgrading to 4.5 and now have my precious saves back

Is it necessary to use a 3DS with SYSnand 9.0-9.2? I tried it with an EMUnand 9.5 and step 8 with the max codes doesn´t work. it came a failure message.
Is here on gbatemp a friendly member who can decrypt my omega rubin save, that i can use it on my rom backup in gateway?

Edit: i have a 4.5 SYSnand (EUR) and a 9.5 EMUnand (EUR)

 

[MaNiAlJoWo]

O. K. now it works. I did the whole steps with a 3DS on SYSnand 9.4 and now i can play my Omega Ruby backup on my gateway.

Does this work with MH4U? I really want my retail save file to work with my gw version of the game.

Okay so this is a pretty stupid bug in "Pokemon Gen VI Save Decrypter" when decrypting a save it seemingly only keeps track of your first 3 wondercards, anything beyond that gets wiped from the Gateway compatible output. I need to compare the saves to see if I'm missing anything else.

Otherwise great tutorial! I'm happy to have my saves back.

It turns out this bug only happens with my Omega Ruby save as all of my un-redeemed wondercards are intact on X.

Also GwOpa I replied in your thread but try removing the ".bin" from your decrypted save before importing, I forgot to and it threw up a corrupted save message for me as well.

IT WORKED!!
...At least until the 12th step...

EDIT: I figured out the problem, it's now solved. Thank you

how did you fix this problem, i am stuck here too

 

[GhostLatte]

Thanks so much.

 

[Osmosis]

I just realized today that Gateway Menu doesn't dump Pokemon ORAS savedata. Now I know. Awesome.

Will be using this in near future...

would like to know this too. Is there a MH4U save decrypter known?

 

[joseph0042]

Thanks worked for me on OR. Trying to figure out bravely default now.

lol i never could get this working for another game like bravely default. Did anyone have luck doing so?

Is it possible to do this without a 3DS on SysNand 9.0 - 9.2?

I already have saves I backed up a while ago(with powersaves) and currently dumping Pokemon-Y to play on my gateway.

Ok So I spent a lot of time yesterday trying to get this to work because there wasn't one main guide that went into detail on how this process worked. Here is a guide with pictures that shows the entire process. I will be using Pokemon X to show this process but it can be done with any of the 4 GenIV games.

Things You will need:
Windows Computer
Pokemon XY/ORAS game
Powersaves Device
Gateway Cartridge

Software Needed:
PowerSaves 3DS software
Hex Editor, I prefer HxD
Pokemon GenIV Save Decrypter
PKHex
ChecksumFixer
SaveDataFiler (Google is your friend)


The Process:

1. Make A Backup of your Pokemon game through the Powersaves Software

2. Locate the Backed up file and Copy it to a different Folder. It should be in C:\Users\{user}\Powersaves3DS

3. Make a Copy Of the save so we can restore it back to the card later.

4. Open the file that is not a copy in HxD and replace Everything from 90x9C to the end with FF by selecting it all and using Fill Selection under the Edit menu. Then hit Save.

5. Use Datel Checksum Fixer on the Edited Save.

6. Copy the Fixed Save File Back to the PowerSaves Folder and then removed the " - [Fixed]" from it. Then open back up Powersaves and Restore the Save File to your Pokemon Card.

7. Put the Cartridge Into a 3ds that has a 9.0-9.2 SysNand and Run the game. You only need to run the game and get to the Language Selection Screen on XY/ORAS then hit the Home Button and close the game.

8. Put the game Cartridge back into the Powersaves Adapter and Run the Item Slot 1 x999 code on the cartridge.

9. Remove the card from the Adapter and then put it back in. Then Make a backup of the save that is currently on the card Name it save1Keystream.

10. Go into the powersaves folder and copy the save1keystream backup to your decryption folder.

11. Open the PokemonSaveDecrypter select whether you are decrypting XY or ORAS and in the first box select the save1keystream backup we made and in the second select the Copy of the Save for Gateway that still contains our legit save. Hit Decrypt Save and save the decrypted save into our Decryption Folder.

12. Open the decrypted save in PKHex. If Everything went well your decrypted save should open without any errors.

13. If your save opens in PKHEX then you should be all good to import it into a .3ds or a .cia using savedatafiler. Make sure when you do, you import the save and also delete the securekey so that the game will recognize the new save file.

If you have any questions feel free to post them below or shoot me a PM.

Is there way to send PKHeX edited save back to game?
I have powersaves and i did edit save already.
I have R4i save dongle too.
