Homebrew [Release]JK's SaveManager - Homebrew CIA Save manager.

[night_hawk]

Hello! I'm new to the 3DS Tools scene. This tool looks amazing but I have a few questions.

1.) Just to clarify, this tool does not require anything extra to run? Just download, follow instructions and you can begin to use it?

2.) Does this dump the saves onto the SD card so that I can then use it I my PC? (I'd like to use the Animal Crossing map editor but I can't install Homebrew to dump my saves. And the Powersaves tool encrypts saves.)

3.) Is there any chance of this program bricking my 3DS?

4.) Does this tool allow users to put saves from one cartridge onto another cartridge, bypassing Nintendo's anti-cheat thing thE enabled with saves?

Thank you for your time!

1) You need a 3ds with cfw and a title manager to install .cia files
2) Yes
3) No
4) Yes

Thank you so much for the answers!

I'm embarrassed to say I'm not quite sure what cfw is. Would mind linking me to it along with a title manager? That way I know I'm using the correct programs and won't be second guessing myself.

Edit: I found a site explaining what CFW is, (custom firmware), but it looks like only systems 9.2 and below support this. I'm at v9.9.

I have a Problem: I am trying to Export the Save from the Game Fantasy Life but it shows me the Error: Error Opening Save Archiv.

I opened over 10 Times the game and loaded and saved ingame and goed back to SaveManager but it does not work still.
Do i need now to Export the ExtData ? Maybe the game Saves on my SD Card.

Fantasy Life is unusual in that it stores its saves in the ExtData. So yes, export the ExtData to back up its saves.

You can install a CFW on any 3DS that's not v11. (You need a hard mod for v11)
Plailects guide here explains how to do it. It's time consuming but so long as you follow the instructions to the letter anyone can do it. v9.9 is no problem.

On 9.9 you are able to downgrade to 9.2.

Here's the link to how access homebrew

Here's the link for downgrade

On 9.9 you are able to downgrade to 9.2. However you need a specific game to have homebrew access.

I thought that v9.9 works with the browser hack.

 

[NoThisIsStupider]

It does, and the downgrade works on any firmware from 9.3-10.7.

Is there a way to implement batch backups of saves from all installed titles?

Yes just checked, i have cubic ninja so never bothered about browser. I'll edit my post

does this only work on cfw or is there a way to run it through hbl

Only CFW at the moment.

Already available in the mid-May build somewhere in this topic or on my Google drive!

Only CFW at the moment.

Or forever -- the major cool feature (selecting games in-app) isn't practical with .3dsx, everything else can be ported to svdt anyways!

I guess a light version would be possible, but it would lose the ability to work with multiple games. It wouldn't really offer too much over svdt.

Extra Data restore never works right for me. The game I'm using is FE:Fates Special Edition. Whenever I restore a backup, it won't add files and only deletes files that are present in the extra data and not in the backup. Ex: Fresh extra data, restore backup with a large amount of data, load game. Result: No change, extra data is not added.

you need first create new exdata, and now restore you backup, this rewrite the old exdata, with savedatas too.

I didn't say that it gave an error (which it does when you try to restore extra data when none has been created yet). I said that it doesn't truly restore anything. Say I have a backup with Chrom, Lissa, Frederick, Lillith, and Garon's data and my game has Chrom, Lissa, Frederick, Lillith, and Arete's data. When the backup is restored, the game has Chrom, Lissa, Frederick, and Lillith's data. Garon's data is not restored and Arete's is deleted. Do you understand the issue now?

They are characters that don't actually exist as playable in the game. They are fan created DLC. So this is not an issue of JKSM. This is the result of using a character that does not actually exist as playable.

Defintely a JKSM issue. I am talking about the character data stored in Extra Data for each of the characters, not the unit's themselves. Though this issue isn't just limited to unofficial extra data. Extra Data saves suffer from the same problem.

Do you mind uploading it so I can take a look?

The extra data? Later, as I can't right now.

Yeah. Whenever you can.
