Hacking [GUIDE] The EmuNAND/Save Data Mega Guide GBATemp Doesn't Deserve

[.:drk_drgn:.]

I'm confused, do BigBlueMenu / SaveDataFiler / etc. work on >9.0? What does work on >9.0?

 

[mmn]

Wait...will 6.0+ retail carts work fine in a 9.4 emuNAND in classic mode even if the sysNAND is 4.x? If so, I don't see any downside to downgrading.

The cart will work fine, but any saves you made before downgrading won't.

Sure, they work. If your save won't load, though, savedatafiler can't do anything to help you.

Yeah, all my unlocked characters, challenges and stages are there. And I just bought a new trophy and changed my controls and it was saved immediately. And after a reboot of the 3DS and the game everything's still there as I left it.

Do you think CIA saves are share-able? I've been looking everywhere for an answer because I sacrificed my smash bros save so I can download downgrade lol. Do you mind sending me your ssb save so I can try it out? I have no idea if cia's use a special type of header or the system's unique ID, but I have a feeling it might not work..

You did what? Sacraficed a save so you could download?

OK, I've read through this guide so many times I've lost count, but i still can't figure out why my savedatafiler installed inside Palatine "CFW" always reads as -- Broken -- when my US alpha sapphire is inserted into my AUS 3DS.

Is it a region problem or? I would really like to read/write to my cart.....

You have started the game a saved onceat least? XD

Yes, definitely has a saved game. Just tried AUS pokemon X also, still says -- broken -- But when I put my AUS donkey kong cart (CARD 1) I can miraculously extract the save data.

It mustn't work at all for CARD 2 games, i guess.

Formatting a NAND from system settings does not cause an update.

And why formatting want forced a internet connection??

For some lame ass reason Nintendo added the check to the firmware, but it doesn't update. I understand you would be skeptical so I suggest you search around this forum for other posts to confirm.

it's because of the NNID I believe. when you format the system, it unlinks your NNID. that's why the console needs to "talk" to Nintendo's servers

Can a card2 cartridge dump be decrypted, extract the save data, decrypt an eshop CIA, replace the save data and repack the CIA?

No. You don't need to decrypt the dump to extract the save. You simply might not be able to extract it depending on the save encryption.
And the CIA doesn't store the save data inside itself. It's saved in the console's system folder in the SD card. So decrypting and repacking a CIA would be pointless too

I don't think I'm wrong but I'm sure someone will correct me if I said something wrong.

Assuming you're not in a situation where you played this dump on a system with 6.x sysnand or higher, and then downgraded to 4.x, you should just be able to use SaveDataFiler to extract your save in Gateway Mode. Just make sure the game is "inserted" on the home screen (i.e. press select and pick your card2 game), then start SDF, and it should show up as the CTR Card on the User tab. It worked for me for Pokémon Y several days ago.

I tried before but it says: CTR Card -- broken --
I tried pressing Y while that was selected but nothing happened

What am I doing wrong?

You might need to rename your ROM to .3dz instead of .3ds as well. Sorry, I forgot to mention that. I don't know if it works with every card 2 game, but it worked for Pokémon..

Hi not sure if it fit in here.
I have tried to extract my 3ds Gateway card Pokemon Y game and inject it in my cia Version (created with that rom, dumpt from my original Card - orginal Card save is lost ok that I know).
When I try to start the cia version, it says something like the savedate don't fit the last savestate!? is there a way how i can fix it?
The save reinjection in the gateway card worked well. should i have to extract more than the main?

regards

Edit: ok ok after 4 hours of tortureing search engines it should work with the Save Data Transfer Tool. Will test it later, when i got my 3ds back ^^

Edit2: Save Data Transfer Tool doesnt helped. But here's you can find the solution from daxtsu

it depends on the encryption used by the save. doesn't matter if it's pokemon or any other card 2 game. if the encryption is more recent, savedatafiler can't read it
