ROM Hack Transporting .sav file to 3DS Virtual Console Pokemon

[Gokufan]

Hey guys. I was wondering, do You think it would be possible to move an old .sav of Pokemon Red to 3DS Virtual Console? I still have my saved game file from ~15 years ago, when I was a little kid, with my first Pokemon. I always wanted to move them to newer games, and I heard that it would be possible with Pokemon Sun/Moon .

No way to know yet, but I'll definitely be looking into it.

If the saves are encrypted, it's only a matter of time until someone breaks said encryption.

it's not possible yet to use Pokémon Bank with RGBY, and the Pokémon from RGBY won't be able to trade to XYORAS

what about pchex homebrew?

I had just read about the feature of been able to transfer Pokemon from the original games and instantly thought the same thing.

I got Pokemon Red in January 2000, a few months after it was released here in the UK and still have my original save. I managed to dump my save from the original cartridge back in 2009. It would be awesome to finally trade the Pokemon I caught 16 years ago to a modern version of the game.

Save replacement works, I've given myself a few illegal movesets with Pikasav!

 

[Ailuros27]

What did you use to extract the save and inject the edited one back?

 

[Ryccardo]

SaveDataFiler, unique id 1710 for EU Red

 

[Ailuros27]

Oh. Interesting. I tried using a CIA save data manager (can't remember what it's called) and also svdt. Neither worked. I forgot to try SaveDataFiler. Was the save encrypted?

Maybe JK's Manager will work the same way? Also, could you make a post about it?

 

[Ailuros27]

It was JK's that I tried. It just made an empty folder. Maybe I didn't do it right.
Edit: I didn't do it right. You can use JK's save manager.

Well, I think I'll try. But I don't want to lose my save at this point... I'll try with another language red. It should work with the same save

 

[Ailuros27]

I figured it out. I didn't press the right button to confirm I wanted to dump the save in JK's manager. It works with mine. If you need to use SaveDataFiler, the ID for English Yellow is 1712.

So you mean it worked JK's? Confirm this to me please

 

[Gokufan]

So it does work? I need a modded 3DS or flashcart?

JK 2016-2-21 appears to work, not sure if secure value is implemented!

Anyone got it working? I've tried dumping it and got 2 files: sav.dat and SecureValue, I tried to inject an old save of mine (looks like it uses the file same estruture) renaming it from xxx.sav to sav.dat and it doesn't worked, I got a corrupted save error from VC. I'm assuming the problem is the SecureValue file, any way to patch it?

 

[Ryccardo]

If you dumped a save at a certain time, only replaced sav.bin, and didn't open the game until you installed the edited one, the secure value is not your problem; but the most reliable way you can bypass the secure value is by using SaveDataFiler, finding the game in the first tab (as if you were to extract a save), and pressing R+X

If the save comes from an emulator, try to find an "export battery" option in the original emulator!
