Hey can someone help me? I got the csu to a cia but when i try to import it from the devmenu it says i need 3 gigs of empty space. Is it possible to transfer a save from a .3ds to .3dz using savedatafiler.3ds?

yes, but if you want to use the red cart it only works with card2 games.
 
You need to convert SaveDataFiler to cia and install it on the emunand.

yea but i was asking if i can do it from .3ds. I couldn't get the .cia version to install because it said i need 3gb of empty space on my SD. I figured that something is wrong but i cant figure it out.
 
Does savedatafiler only with CIA files or will it work with a pokemon game that on the gateway red card?
 
I wonder if it's possible to port SDF to run in a windows environment. If possible, could it then be pointed to read from/write to the R4 save dongle? This would allow backing up, editing, and rewriting to a retail cart. Could this be possible?

Also, if I dump my retail cart, since it is a card2 game, will that dump still retain my save file as well? I know it will have my legit header too. Is this also correct? So I could dump it, rename to 3dz, put it on my gateway, and then use SDF to dump and then inject back my save so I can just resume my game where I am at on the retail cart. I could then dump, edit, and inject back my save at will with no problems? But, I could never put it back into my cart. At least not yet at this point in time.

In theory, I guess so. Isn't that loosely the premise of how the Jap X/Y retail carts were modified with CyberGadget or whatever it's called?


Yes, if it's card2, it should dump the save too. I believe Gateway claims the save to be corrupt though. Perhaps through extraction and some manipulation, you could make it work.

Doesn't hurt to try.
 
About the corrupt thing:
I saw someone state that by backing up the save first, reset the save and restart the game to create a new save, then backup that save and replace main file in new extracted save with main file from old extracted save then use sdf to put it back it will encrypt it properly to make it work.
 
OK where the hell did it put the cia at? Command window opened and everything ran fine but I have no idea where the cia went to, heh.

Edit: NM it did NOT run ok. I'm on a 32 bit OS dammit, heh.
