Hi,

I am trying to use the Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Save editor on my gateway save. To do this the save must be decrypted and such. I have having troubles exporting the save. I am using a backup of the game (MH4U). I can see that there is a save on my SD card which belongs to the game: 0004000000126300.sav

The issue is I read I need to export the save using save manager. Im not sure if that works since Im using a backup via gateway. I load up gatway then set it so MH4U is the main cartridge. Then I enter the homebrew launcher then I click save manager. When its on MH4U I press a and then it is says there is an error and its unable to find a save or something like that.

Please help me.

Try using Savegame Manager Plugin for NTR (it works with NTR CFW 3.4. Once you boot NTR CFW, hold L before starting game to export the save, and hold R before starting game to import it. The save is stored at /save_%titleid% in your microsd.)

or follow this tutorial

I am using gateway. I do not believe Nitro can even see the gateway card roms and therefore couldnt back it up. It might though, I have never used nitro. Which directions would I follow on that page, it doenst make much sense. Im not exporting it to an eshop. I have a gateway cartridge and I want to just back up the save.

Uh, did you actually try out either of these methods? I just tested with my own .3dz copy of the game and made sure they both worked.

if you've successfully exported the save then you should have "system" and "user1" files in SD:\filer\UserSaveData\20160521******\%TitleID low%
(If you exported the save using "Savegame Manager Plugin for NTR", it should be in SD:\save_%TitleID% )

Export
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

Import
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
Oh, by the way the NTR method is a lot faster to export/import as you just need to boot NTR CFW, mount your .3ds/.3dz game, and hold L/R while starting the game
