Mine are not showing no.

I'm pretty sure saves are compatible with GW, MT, Sky3DS as long as your game doesn't use 6.x crypto save.

Anyway GW or not, I'm sure that saves restore doesn't work:


I tried this:
Burn Zelda OOT
played a few minutes
saved
Didn't backup save to my PC but backup the game
removed the game
played with another game
reburned zelda OOT

The save is here!

Formatted the card
reburned OOT

NO SAVE

It confirms what I said: saves are stocked on the micro SD card and not on the game itself

Okay. can you try this:
Burn Zelda OOT
played a few minutes
saved
backup save to your PC
removed the game
played with another game

Format the card
restore save
reburn OOT

And tell me if the save is back. This is to confirm if the actual restoring of saves is working or not.

Mine are not showing no.

What's not showing? Did you manage to get more than 10 games onto your Sky3DS?

Nevermind got it working. Got 15 games they all work & save

How did you get it working ? simply with the crack tool? Do you have 15 games on the same card?

And can you tell me what happens when you reach the 10 games limit and don't use the crack? Can you launch more than 10 games but can't save? Or 11th game doesn't show?

EDIT: can you try to backup your saves, format the SD card, restore your saves and see if they are here

My issue is that some games go to no and some go to yes. Saves only work if the 11, 12, 13 etc game saves no. If it says yes once you take the card out you will have to start over. How do you make all games say no???

You still have to you the crack tool. But the tool is not making all my games say no.

Thanks for the info. What games say yes? what games say no?

 

[dante23234]

Ok people all my issues are fixed. I forgot some roms you have to do F8 98 more than once.

So it seems that the 10 games limitation is about save limitation, right?
With 20 games all NO eeprom, any problem at all...

 

[dante23234]

Correct as long as the games over 10 say NO eeprom the saves work after a reboot or a game change.

And did you try to backup /restore save for games over 10 with NO eeprom? Because it doesn't work for me...

This is an interesting find. Maybe the 10 game limit wasn't all we thought it was. Maybe Sky3DS actually did consider the fact that any more messes up with saves.

We need to confirm this ASAP. My Sky3DS can't come soon enough. :S

I have not tired 20 games all NO eeprom. When i got it the hack was not out so I already used my 10 slots up. But the hack works fine after 10.

How did you get this to work? When I put my 11th game in and do the switch it shows the 11th game but when I go to play the game it loads and then says the 3ds cartridge has been removed? When I reset and go back it swaps right to my original 10 games?
I wonder if I am missing a step...

tommorow I get my Sky3ds, so I can finally test it!

Did you modify the template file?

I have had luck with conversion and loading and seeing it switch to 11th game but actually being able to play it is a different story. The game will appear to load but give me error that card has been removed. Also when it changes to 11th game it will auto switch on its own to one of my original 10. I must be missing a step that I am not aware of.

 

[capostef]

which is the 11th game?

 

[shakycart]

Did you modify the template file?

Yes I modified the template file. The conversion and everything all seemed to work because it converted the EEProm to no . It does comes up in my switch list but when I go to play it it quickly switches to the next game of the original 10.

I must be missing something?

And if you leave only 1 game on your sd card (11th game), can you play it?

How to play more than 10 backups

You know how everytime you press the red button it cycles over to the next backup in the sd card? yeah well now what you need to do is

1. Press and hold the red switch for about 5 seconds. You'll notice that the game doesn't automatically change. Now press the A button again to run the next game.

And if you leave only 1 game on your sd card (11th game), can you play it?

I do that 5 second switch and press a and it takes me into the game like it is loading and then says remove card. I then go back home and my game has switched. Is it suppose to work a different way.

I am trying to just have the 11th game alone. I will let you know. Thanks for the suggestion
