I found a workaround how to export/import Card1 Savegames (no retail support)

First you know we had the problem of " CTR - BROKEN ", but there is a little trick to it.

!MT-Card USER can do this without Workaround because the save gets loaded on ROM mounting!

To fetch your Cartridge Savegames, you can use this method: NTR Savegame Manager Plugin

We need:

- Red Gateway Card
- The Exploit
- Launcher.dat (tested with 3.0.3 Ultra)
- SaveDataFiler
- The .3ds/.3dz/.cia Game you want to export/import
- A working Savegame (Dumped Savegames from Retail might not work)
- A PC/MAC (any Device capeable to rename Files)

!MAKE ALWAYS BACKUPS FROM YOUR SAVEGAMES!

A. EXPORT .3ds/.3dz to eShop:

Savegame example: Super Mario 3D Land (0004000000053F00) > http://3ds.essh.co/

1. Connect the SD Card to your PC
2. Copy your Savegame and save it as 000400000FF40A00.sav
3. Put SD Card back into your 3DS
4. Turn it on and execute Exploit
5. Mount your .3ds/.3dz Game
6. Start SaveDataFiler (CTR Card is no longer broken!) and highlight CTR Card
7. Press Y and then A to export the Savegame

SaveDataFiler stores in SDCARD:\filer\UserSaveData\20150131010203\0000053f
YEAR-MONTH-DAY-HOUR-MINUTE-SECONDS \ TitleID low

8. Switch to SD and highlight your TitleID
9. Press R+A and then A to import your Savegame
10. Press Home, select the cia game and press two times A to start

B. EXPORT eShop to .3ds/.3dz:


Savegame example: Super Mario 3D Land (0004000000053F00) > http://3ds.essh.co/

1. Start your 3DS and execute Exploit
2. Mount your Game
3. Start SaveDataFiler and highlight your TitleID low
4. Press Y and then A to export the Savegame
5. Switch over to SD and highlight TitleID low
6. Press L + A and then A to create 000400000FF40A00.sav (CTR Card is no longer broken!)
7. Turn your 3DS off and connect the SD CARD with your PC
8. Copy 000400000FF40A00.sav to your TitleID (0004000000053F00.sav)
9. Put your SD Card back into your 3DS
10. Turn your 3DS on and execute Exploit
11. Mount your Game and start it

Export Retail Card with CFW and SDF:

Note: As for CFW works only with FW4.5, 6.x encryption will fail.

1. You need CFW and installed SafeDataFiler on a spare SD Card
2. Start your CFW and insert your Cartridge
3. Start SafeDataFiler and highlight CTR Card
4. Press Y and then A to export the Savegame
5. Turn off your 3DS and move the 'filer' folder to your PC
6. Switch over to your Gateway (emuNAND) SD Card and add the 'filer' folder from PC
7. Insert your Gateway (emuNAND) SD Card into your 3DS
8. Start your 3DS, execute Exploit and start SaveDataFiler
9. Now you can follow A8 for eShop or B5 for .3ds/.3dz

(Be patient with CFW, sometimes it takes 10 tries to get it working)

Thx queno138 : original Post

Info:

"Nintendo 3DS\ID1\ID2\" = eShop , "000400000000XXXXXXX.sav" = Card 1

If your ID1\ID2 does not match after downgrade or formating 3DS,
your Save is LOST if there is no NAND Backup using that ID1\ID2!!!

If you have the NAND Backup matching ID1\ID2,
you can import it as emuNAND with emuNANDTool!

It is impossible to use NAND Backups or encrypted eShop saves
from another 3DS! You need to decrypt the saves first before you
can transfer them!

EXPORT / IMPORT from Original Cartridge is now possible
with Cubic Ninja + PASTA CFW + SaveData Filer!!!

Thank you Savior-san. :v

Well, seems this game have same problem as Animal Crossing - different region saves are incompatible. I even tried Eur save. Sorry, I really want to help you, but I can't. :-(

I'm not really following, I'm trying to export an eShop (I assume this means CIA) savegame to .3ds
Step 2 of this section B in the guide says 'mount your game' - how do you 'mount' an eShop game?

OP meants mount the .3ds game you want to transfer your save to. (Select, just game front multirom menu, but don't enter game)

If you don't do this step, sdf "ctr" will be blank

So you need to have a copy of the game in .3ds or .3dz form in order to be able to do this? I got it working in the other direction (CIA>3DS)

You're transferring from cia to 3ds rom right?
If so, Yeah.

Both directions would require the .3ds/.3dz to be mounted

No, he's confused. apoptygma, .cia is not the same as eShop.

I've bought Animal Crossing from eShop before getting Gateway 3DS. I transfered the save from it to my Gateway 3ds and removed the eShop game after. Now i've redownloaded the game to system NAND and i want to transfer the save back, but everytime i transfer and go back to sysNAND it say that Animal Crossing cannot use save data because it was not the last data saved. What should i do? Can i solve it with using CFW instead of gateway's emuNAND, and i can't install any cia because somehow i keep getting error.

 

[Ricardo Toddy]

Someone can make a video for this?

I'm not understand very much english... and i'm just trying export my save from bravely default rom to my sd , but i get -failure all the time.

 

[apoptygma]

What does TitleID low mean? I mean I understand how it's stored in that folder when playing an eShop game but what does "3. Start SaveDataFiler and highlight your TitleID low" mean, ie. which 'tab' is this? User, Ext or SD? and how do we find out which value relates to which eShop title? eg. my User list shows
CTR Card
002FF -- broken --
00307
00EE0
011C4

etc etc


edit - oh i think i got it. just the last few bytes of the titleID. silly me

Ok. Did you get the error from trying to import it? If so then i guess you have the wrong rom.

 

[marcelto]

I have the EU rom
First i start gateway
load the game
then the safe data filler
and CTR Cardr is broken

Oh that. The reason why it say that CTR card is broken is not really explained in the tutorial, but it's supposed to be like that because it doesn't find 000400000FF40A00.sav on the SD card. When you go to SD as in the tutorial and import the save to CTR card then it will no longer be broken. Turn off your 3DS then and plug your SD card in your computer. Change the name of 000400000FF40A00.sav to 0004000000126100.sav and then you're done.

 

[marcelto]

Yes i do it but when i start MH4 i got the error
save data broken.
And safe data filler broken.
I tested only 000400000FF40A00.sav or 0004000000126100.sav
but all dont work

 

[marcelto]

maybe i need sys nand 6 or higher?
