you will need Ironhax, Ninjhax or tubehax.
Save Data Manager

(im using sky3ds btw)

I will show how I did it with ACNL save, I think it will work the same way for other game save.

ok, restore your old save (the one that has a public header) using diskwriter)

turn off your wireless to not be banned

load the game to see if the save was restored.

close the game and load the homebrew.

open the save manager, load the game and backup your save.

now, you need to backup your save using diskwriter.

open HxD and load your backuped save and edit the header. (doesnt mater the ID, just change something) and save.

open diskwriter and restore this edited save.

load the game.

you will get a message saying that your save is corrupt and you must start a new one.

start a new one and now it has a private header (you can check it using HxD)

open the homebrew again and load the save manager, restore the save.

after doing all that, if you check your save game you will see that your old save now has your private header.



sorry if I made it confusing, but that worked for me on animal crossing new leaf.

I edited my old save using RAM editor before restore it using save manager, but watever, you can do it later too if you like.


I'll upload some pics soon
please give a like if it helped you
thanks

dw backup .sav file is not editable.
use the decrypted bin that pull out by save manager
Actually, dw .sav is editable but if you restore it you will get a corrupted save, and to do this guide you have to do it to be able to start a new game using your private header.

actually, this way is also work.

first, use save manager pull the save out, then get ur sky3ds out, rewrite the game with private header (next time u load the old save will corrupt).
then, open the homebrew again and load the save manager, restore the save.

Every time you want to restore or backup a game, you need to skip to the next game pressing the sky3ds button. Then the save will be writed to the micro sd card and you can backup it using diskwriter. And after you restore a save, keep the button pressed and insert the cart to 3ds. Remove and insert again. Wait about ten seconds, remove and insert again.. you are done
