Hacking How to put Savedatafiler on homescreen?

[Thirty3Three]

It won't install. I've replied in various threads about it with no asnwer. It keeps failing when I attempt to install via devmenu. I'd like a way to get savedatafiler working from the home screen, so I can edit my pokmon save(s).

Thanks.

You need the .csu version of the app for this:

Use this rsf:

Extract the .csu contents with ctrtool:

ctrtool --exefs=exefs.bin savedatafiler.csu
ctrtool --romfs=romfs.bin savedatafiler.csu
ctrtool --exheader=exheader.bin savedatafiler.csu
ctrtool -t exefs --exefsdir=exefs --decompresscode exefs.bin

And rebuild as CIA with makerom
makerom -f cia -rsf savedatafiler.rsf -target t -o savedatafiler.cia -icon exefs\icon.bin -banner exefs\banner.bin -code exefs\code.bin -exheader exheader.bin

Thanks.

The actual .cia files from the devkit are encrypted and can't be installed. You'll need the .csu version, rename it to .3ds and then convert it to a .cia
There are guides floating around here on how to do that.

EDIT: Or, heck, listen to the ninja above me. He's more thorough in his answer than I am.

 

[piratesephiroth]

Are you using Gateway or the CFW?

 

[Thirty3Three]

Thanks guys! Yeah I've been working with the guides all day haha! Just trying to get this part sorted. I appreciate it. I'll update back. Thanks again!

Once you have the SavedataFiler.csu and have renamed it to a .3ds, then you can use this guide: http://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-converting-3ds-to-cia-for-dummies.373722/
It should work.

 

[Thirty3Three]

Thanks! But that worked for Pokemon much earlier, but not for the savedatafiler. Is there another tut? The "make descapp4/1" exes give me errors

 

[Thirty3Three]

Ugh.

[NCCH ERROR] Failed to open banner file 'banner.bin'
[NCCH ERROR] NCCH Build Process Failed
[RESULT] Failed to build outfile

 

[Ryft]

Ugh.

[NCCH ERROR] Failed to open banner file 'banner.bin'
[NCCH ERROR] NCCH Build Process Failed
[RESULT] Failed to build outfile

I did the same thing.. you skipped a step.

ctrtool -t exefs --exefsdir=exefs --decompresscode exefs.bin

-snip-

Thanks for this guide! Got it on my first try (after that one stupid mistake) and works fine.

i'm sorry if i'm wrong
but wouldn't it be more easy to release the decrypted version
so every one can use it like normal rom

but there must be a reason why no one is releasing it

but there must be a reason why no one is releasing it

because it belongs to Nintendo?

 

[Thirty3Three]

Ugh. Still not working. I have 3 files so far. exefs.bin, exheader/bin, and romfs.bin. I have no banner.bin or any of that jazz.

 

[gamefan5]

someonewhodied I think you can find an answer here about how to install it.

 

[Ryft]

Ugh. Still not working. I have 3 files so far. exefs.bin, exheader/bin, and romfs.bin. I have no banner.bin or any of that jazz.

Once you do that command, the banner.bin etc is in a folder called "exefs". I literally just copy and pasted the commands he posted and it worked for me so I dunno whats going wrong for you.

 

[Thirty3Three]

GOT IT.

Thanks guys. Apparently my enter button is sticking. Haha. Weird.

 

[Tombomb]

if you are getting

[EXHEADER ERROR] Failed to set ExtSaveDataId. UseExtSaveData must be true.
[EXHEADER ERROR] Failed to create ExHeader
[NCCH ERROR] NCCH Build Process Failed
[RESULT] Failed to build outfile

add

  UseExtSaveData: true

How much would the posted rsf have to be changed to use it in converting the rest of the sdk tools to CIA format? The apps I'm most interested in converting are PlayCoinSetter, NetworkSetting, and Config. The last two I want so that I have a way of changing settings without getting kicked out of emunand.

NetworkSettings may be useful but Config can't change any relevant settings.

This works with any .csu right? So savedatafiler... it exports decrypted saves and can import decrypted saves back into the game while setting their proper encryption? Both Card1 and Card2 titles?

Yep! I now have a Blaziken that knows all thunder moves.

Poor kid's gonna use their water pokemang.
