ROM Hack Animal Crossing: New Leaf Save Editor

[Breademic]

That won't help.
The RAM tutorial is outdated now.
The savegame has changed the offset and header, so the old dumper/injector won't work.
And also, you need to be on 11.x to make the game update work, so that means you have lost the spider exploit (unless you have CFW, but in that case, you can use JKSV, which is a lot better than the RAM method).


Basically, the RAM method is dead.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! TwT

I'm having this issue, and this isn't the first time I've had it. So I import my save after I edited it but the thing is...not all my edits appear in game. They appear in the editor if i reinsert my sd card and open up the file, which is odd. And it's the same edits too, even though I tried doing them twice.

I think it may have to do with either a glitch with the editor itsself or the fact that I have to rename the file from garden_plus(4).dat to garden_plus.dat. I tried to import my file two times in a row with save manager but that didn't help. Anyone else have this issue?

Ive had a similar issue a long time ago. I had the following files injected in my game:
-Garden (2).dat
-Garden (3).dat
-Garden (4).dat
-Garden (8).dat
These files if i didn't had them, my edits would not appear. Is there any garden_plus (X).dat on your ACNL savefile dumps?

I don't know if it's changed, but when I used to edit garden.dat name it's always worked fine. For example it downloaded as "garden(2).dat". I would then remove the 2 and it would work perfectly.

Are you sure no other files are in the saveDataBackup folder? One time I had other backups in the folder and that didn't allow the injection to work.

I can confirm that having to remove things like (1), (2), etc. still makes the edits work, from what I've done. I use the CIA version of JKSV, so I'm not sure if its different for other save editors.

This was mentioned before but there seems to be a problem with the cedar item as it is disappearing when touching the train tracks or edge. I hope this is fixed soon

This is a limitation of the ROM. Trees can't normally be placed there and when forced there the game removes them. This didn't used to be the case, its something added by the update and nothing the save editor can do can fix it. Similarly, trees and rocks placed directly beside buildings (And likely pwps) will disappear as well for the same reason.

Has anyone found the address in the garden_plus.dat determining what villager is in the rv/van?

0x6ae62

Edit: another thing I noticed, after you move a custom design sign with the editor and go in game to change the design, they'll all be the same.

That's because you are not suposed to be able to move custom design sign. Restore a backup or put it in its original position while you can, because the next update won't let you do it.

This is the Nintendo Dream Town which I extracted from a RAM dump. However, I can't seem to figure out a way to make the game accept the file, though it seems to show up correctly in the online editor?

Maybe the save is japanese region and needs to be converted?

Edit* just tried out your save, it loaded but got "corrupted"

Look for the header:
33 3a d0 46 00 02 00 00
Add 0x80 blank bytes before that and cut the file to 563968 bytes and you may get a valid garden_ram.dat. It may also probably missing the caravan and storage additional information.

Have you updated the NAND value?

It also may be missing the caravan and storage additional information.

I've tried updating the NAND value already, yes. I wouldn't know about any other data that may be missing since, aside from cutting it from the RAM dump, I've made zero alterations to how it was.

So would I go about doing that?

 

[HuskyXD]

Ok, i tried everything. I went about deleting the dreamtown bed and re-editing the japanese catch phrases of the villagers to english and editing the secure nand value and injecting it with another save that works. I use the online acnl save editor. In the end, same results, i get a corrupted save file while booting up the game.

Beta 3 is up.
* a few bugfixes
* an amiibo character is automatically injected if there is no caravan (you can even scan your amiibo at any time)

I'm going to need help to compile all special character name and ids. Edit your caravan and put there any special character (they are after Wolf Link), write down the id and then check in-game which one you added, then PM me with it/them :-)

Don't try to inject the special characters into your town, the game will crash.

I'm pretty sure the RAM dump doesn't have enough data to become a real savegame. All the new features were added to the end of the savegame file, thus making it bigger. The dream town don't need the additional data, so I guess Nintendo is only storing only the needed data in their servers.

About how far into the save file does the new data appear? Or is it somewhat mixed into the data? I'd like to manually inject some data to try and complete the file.

I have a question, My bro has A old town on another sdcard, is there anyway he can get the old town, on the new sdcard?

 

[Trainiax]

Tried using the carava editor to bring in Holden. Doesn't want to give me the option to move in. Does this have something to do with the fact Filly's land plot is in my town?

I tried the caravan with June and Chelsea and they both worked.

 

[marc_max]

Both Holden and Filly cannot move in to your town.
You can hack them though. But they will never give you their pic, since they do not have a pic.

I know this isn't related to your editor, Marc, but I was thinking just now, HANS has the ability to run in-game even on an o3DS (like for taking screenshots). Could a RAM editor button-combo be done like this? Then we could do stuff like backup/inject dream towns.
