I was wondering if it was possible to transfer a game save from a rom on Gateway mode to the original cart? The game uses 6.0 save encryption, but my Gateway compatible 3DS has sysnand 9.2, and it's a card1 game. All the information I can find seems to indicate that it needs to be below 6.0 save encryption, but that was from before Gateway was compatible with 9.2. Also, I read about this 512 kb save size being necessary to transfer. How would I go about finding out if it has that save size? Thanks a lot! I'm sorry if this has been mentioned somewhere, but every search I run either gets me really old news, or finds people asking about transferring from retail to Gateway save.

What about CARD1 games?

I have a similar question, though slightly different - I want to go from eShop versions to retail carts. For CARD2 it should be easy enough as I can just use Gateway mode to do it and transfer the save over, but how do I use SaveDataFiler without being in Gateway mode (which blocks retail carts)?

Use savedatafiler and ntr save plugin, it should do the trick
This. I am going to work on this today.

OP, to find out what the save size is of your game use the GW menu to dump the save of the cart in question.

I am not all all sure about this but I think that is where NTR takes over. Except for certain games as noted in the release thread.

Looking at it... this only works on N3DS? There's not a NTR CFW for the original model?

Where do I even get NTR 1? I can't find an official thread and cell9 limits his profile so I can't even do "see this user's threads" >_>

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
