@Slashcash Watch out for the source of @JK_ 's SaveManager, he finally found a way to extract and inject save data using a CIA. Source will be up soon (I hope)

We already know some things. :3 :3 :3

Is it on 4dsdev? gbatemp? IRC? I am seriously interested in the algorithm too ^-^

There is some documentation spread around the web if you're interested in how to do it, mainly on 3dbrew.

You need to open a particular archive to access the save filesystem: https://3dbrew.org/wiki/Filesystem_services#ArchiveId
(watch for the archiveid 0x567890B1 for gamecard access and for 0x567890B2 for the digital copy access)

here you can find some other informations on how to open that archive: https://3dbrew.org/wiki/Filesystem_services#UserSaveDataForCheck_Archive_Path_Data_Format (i know, is not much)

Once you opened the archive correctly accessing the savefile is the same as accessing every other file on the 3ds filesystem.

some other informations are in the fs.h header of ctrulib.

Of course opening these save archives requires some permissions which are unobtainable in userland.

I didn't read jk's source code yet but i'm quite aware of how he did it. The informations are shared behind the scene . In all honesty i've just been a little busy and that's the reason why the update is taking its time, but a cia version is definitely in the plan, now more than ever

Take your time bro, at this point, you already done a good work, so, we are expecting better

Do I need to name my .pk6 files that I want to import something specific? I manually created the sdmc:/pk/PCHex++/import folder, then copied the .pk6 file to the import folder, but PCHex++ isn't picking it up. I opened the save, pressed R until I found an empty Box, then pressed Y over an empty slot. I'm trying to import the new GameStop Mew event found here. Am I doing something wrong? Is the Mew I have a 'party only' .pk6 file (incorrect file size), and that is why it isn't being imported? I forget what file size constitutes a 'party' .pk6, anyway. Also, I'm trying to import it into Alpha Sapphire (USA), if that matters.

Would you share the visuals of what it looks like right now, with the new design changes?

PCHex++ import function should work with 260bytes .pk6 (the party pokemon version) and 232 byte .pk6 (the box pokemon)
That file you linked is a .wc6 file, i programmed the import menu to only show .pk6 files (for security reasons, i don't want anyone to inject random files in the save, it would corrupt it) so it finds the file in the folder but it doesn't show it.

I have never heard of this .wc6 files (264 bytes long) if someone has some info about this files i will likely support them
(you could change the extension of the file to .pk6, PCHex++ should list it in the import menu but importing it will likely result in an array out of bound and an instant crash, if you have a backup of the savefile and feel brave you could try anyway, NO, DON'T DO THIS)

wc6 are the wondercards files.

No, don't do that. I stripped down the last 4 bytes and tried to import it and it failed miserably. The wondercards file likely have a whole different structure and currently won't work with PCHex++. You should find a .pk6 file of the same event pokemon. (If someone has any reliable documentation about this file structure i will likely try to implement it)

Well, pkhex is open source? Because it can import them.

PkHex is also programmed in Visual C#, which is a different language than C++.

I would also want to see wc6 support since they're easier to find online. (In my experience, anyway)

Just fyi, until PCHex++ potentially supports .wc6 files, I was in the same boat and just opened the .wc6 file in PkHex and saved it as a .pk6 file. It works, it's the proper 260 bytes.

I just typed the first letter, I was too lazy to write the rest of the sentence.
Thank you.

The cia is being worked on among a lot of other things. Don't hold your breath as i am being quite busy and it will require something along a week/ten days to be completed.

If someone feels brave, well...the github is in the first post and i even posted some documentation on how to access savefile from a .cia a page ago

I would really like to help, I'm an experienced developer but I have no idea where to start developing for 3DS. Can you suggest some resources?
