Hacking GATEWAY PUBLIC RELEASE 2.6

[_eyCaRambA_]

So, how exactly are people extracting their saves from ROMs or retail cartridges?
I tried the following (SaveFL 5.2.2 installed as cia):
- Select ROM in gateway mode, then launch SaveFL => shows corrupt data
- Use retail cartridge in gateway mode, doesn't show up in the home menu, then launch SaveFL => no cartridge at all
- Gateway classic mode can't launch SaveFL

Huh? Are you all talking about eShop saves?

EDIT: Just read the conclusion by liomajor in the other thread. Pretty useless for me atm then but enjoy it guys lol

This all is way too confusing lol.
Preferably, I dont want to install anything. Just wanna use as .3ds from gateway.

But if I run the savefiler as .3ds I dont think it would recognize other 3ds rom saves?
So I would have to have it installed?

Do I have to install the savefiler for save dumping/restoring to use with gateway rom saves?

Can I not the .csu renamed to 3ds?

if you just want to dump/restore/backup save you don't need savedatafiler
you just copy .sav file in your sd card or use cart2sav program for games like pokemon XY

in short savedatafiler dump a decrypted save so you can edit it with hex editor (or with pkhex for pokemon XY) *correct me if i'm wrong

thanks, I managed to install savedatafiler

 

[Deleted member 473940]

I installed savedatafiler.
BUT it installed on my 4.3E aswell as emunand.
Is that normal?

Yep, don't worry about it you can't even start it there.

Ok, thats a relief.
But for the first time since I got gateway I got black screen a couple of times after installing the savedatafiler.

Maybe just a coincidence.

Managed to edit the save:

I've been getting black screens since installing it as well, but it seems to be working more consistently by holding L and then selecting gateway mode rather than straight into gateway mode for me.

I always hold L. I have never loaded into gateway without holding L. Still 50% of the times I get black screen

Then stop holding L.

 

[Deleted member 473940]

lol same issue.
after he mentioned I tried not holding L and it still freezes.
sometimes complete black screen and sometimes it starts black and both screens start becoming all white but doesnt load.

 

[Huntereb]

That's odd, mine works almost 97% of the time. Maybe your SD is borked?

Nope, same issue after formatting everything.

PKHeX should handle the x/y saves just fine, it's the exact same file as you'd get from Cyber Save Editor.
(Also, the ability/EV limits are in place to keep people from complaining about not being able to use them online, and it's really easy to circumvent the program's restriction as rei mentioned)

Made a small program that handles checksum fixing for OR/AS demo saves; hex edit on your own then drop it into this program.

Hey that's awesome!

BTW, are the offsets of what is what lying around anywhere?

Which version of PlayCoinSetter have you guys managed to convert into a working .cia?

 

[Rurounik9999]

So, now is there a way of using a Retail Pokemon Save to work with SaveDataFiler or not?

Theres no need
There has been a .3ds version of coin setter floating around for some time now

Okay, but in general, I want to be able to convert .csu into .cia. Apparently I manually need to edit IDs in the RSF for each before repacking, is there a way to extract them automatically from .csu or a database of them?

 

[AlexeySinitsyn]

Does online work when converting to CIA?

Retail as in actual cartridge retail?

No.
Savedatafiler does not work in classic mode.

Besides, if the retail save was created above 4.x, it can't be decrypted by savedatafiler.
