Need Help From a Gateway Owner [Blog Edition]

Ok, here's the deal. Many months ago I was happily using my gateway, until, the mSD reader on the card went bad. Not a big deal, we have cfw now and i can use cia's instead of roms. So i just formatted the 64gig msd, put it in an sd adapter and have been using it in my 3ds since.

But I had a 100% completion on Resident Evil Revelations (US) and cant transfer it to cia. The GW handles game saves by packaging the save data into a .sav file, named from that game's titleid. This file is unreadable by save managers. The only way to retrieve this file is to make it 'reachable', by renaming it to the titleid used by the GW and mounting that rom in the gw rom menu.

So here's what im asking: Ive already renamed the save to the proper title. I just need someone to take this save, place it on their sd card, open the gw rom menu, mount RE:R (US), without launching the game open savedatafiler or svdt and extract save data from ctr. Then PM me the decrypted save data. If anyone could do this, it would be greatly appreciated. I really dont want to start over.

@Boogieboo6 that guide is the same method I described here unfortunately. The sad reality is I need someone to do this for me.

Did anyone do it yet? Ill do it.
I love resident evil:revelations. I can't beat the final boss, but I haven't tried in a while.
 
WeedZ
Not yet, but that would be great. feel free to use it for yourself if you want.
 
WeedZ
It would have to be renamed to the re's titleid 0004000000060200 to be used with gateway.

An update would be much appreciated. Is your RE Revelations working again with your save on it?
 
Boogieboo6
Well I'm trying out my own way. I'm getting an RE Revelations 3ds file and trying to load your save onto it. Then I'll use a cia converter to convert the 3ds with your save into an installable cia. There's no way you could have it when I'm done! ;)

ok, so when i pulled the data off my sd it wasnt there anymore. turns out the game found the data corrupt. ill try again but it probably wont work. can you reupload the data uncompressed?
 
WeedZ
@CIAwesome526 that's weird. I'll try to upload an uncompressed to media fire or something. Gbatemp only supports certain formats. Btw, your not starting the game after mounting are you? The game will overwrite the save because it's the title for the gw, which is temp data that gets dumped to the proper title when the game is closed.

@Boogieboo6 I'm interested to see if save data can be compressed into a cia.

Nvm, I thought I had the original on my SD still, but I deleted it after copying it to my computer. I won't be home till later.

I've tried for a really long time to get everything working. Every save manager only uses cia files and won't write to 3ds files. I've gone though many save managers and tutorials and I've finally tried out the sky3ds diskwriter to see if it would write the sav to the 3ds file and I'd somehow retrieve that 3ds file and convert it. I don't think this is going to work like I thought it would, but I'll keep trying. Don't get your hopes up though, CIAwesome526 could help you much better than I can. It's time for bed now though, and I'll try again tomorrow.

Why not just use savedatafiler to dump the save from the ctr card while the game is inserted, then import it to cia?

    Usually when such a big title leaks the Temp will be the first to report about it (going off of historical reports here, Pokemon SV being the latest one I can recall seeing pop up here)

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Kodi repost are still pretty popular
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.

    @BigOnYa, Lol I bought a new USB card reader thing on AliExpress last month for I think like 87 cents. Free shipping from China... It arrived it works and honestly I don't understand how it was so cheap.
