Hello all, it's me again. The frustration as you can imagine has only increased and no amount of deleted Youtube videos or "omg click this it has XML files cheers!" is going to help me.
So let me illiterate, I am NOT using a 3ds emulator that's already hacked. I have the Link Between Worlds 3DS, and I downloaded the games (because who the hell buys something they can lose or have have to swap to play). Which means I directly have the existing, encrypted, save file(s) derived from the back up option and the literal game files and primary save source.
Because everyone is like, but creating a tool to directly edit the save is like omg so hard, per instructions I attempted to use the newest version of homebrew and dropped it on the root of the SD card and per Youtube video instructions found from searching, because homebrew's video link has been deleted and they didn't put the DNS server information anywhere on their website, I even updated the DNS server and it did... Absolutely nothing.
So I downloaded the OoT3D hax files, which btw contain files that do not exist on the SD card, and I'm told to go read the readme which is unlinked, but it wants you to grab a sploit_installer, which wants you to compile it using "ctrulib" which in a google search just turns up a project you have to compile your self. Jesus people, have you never heard of simplicity?
So guess who has not figured out what to do from there? Me.
You, for some very obscure reason, may think this is simple but take a step back. I'm five inception levels down, each one apparently totally-dependent on the levels above it, and there still isn't a end in sight. I honestly think you people need to google winrar, it's a magical application windows can natively run and you can actually zip up all the files needed in the locations they need to be and post it as one file that any user can instantly use. >.>
Actually scratch that, can I just have an actual save file editor? You guys spent years trying to figure out how to rip the encrypted data out of the game cards and convert it to a readable format and that required hardware on top of things, how about taking thirty seconds and seeing if you can just decrypt the data backups the 3DS prints on the SD card any laptop or cell phone can read, it probably uses the same methods/format.
I apologize if I seem abrasive, but I've spent more days on this when it should have taken seconds.
