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

[g.maverick]

I had the bad idea of install a game in the free space inside the sysnand partition.

(At that time FBI was offering that option, while the new versions don't).

Never encounter that. I'm not sure if JKSM was designed for that situation.

You are right I fear.

I was having a look to the code and it should not be too complex fork the repo, reuse the code the of the "SD/CIA" for a new "NAND/CIA" section pointing to the NAND memory, but I am more worried in the time needed to set up the build environment-compile and test.
The most worry bit is that I DO NOT KNOW if at the end it could eventually works!

Does anyone know if the way the games' cia are managed in SD memory, is the same exact way they are managed in the NAND memory? (I mean encrypting-decrypting the saves in the same relative path etc ?)

@JK_ Dunno if someone else had this idea before, but I'd like to see an build-in FTP server within JKSM, as I'm often tinkering with Pokémon Savefiles and PKHeX or other games and respective other editor. That way I wouldn't to exit JKSM, start FTP, exit FTP and start JKSM again. I don't know if this could be easily done. as I'm not yet in 3DS development, as I haven't had the time yet.

does anybody know how to get GBC gamesaves to inject without corrupting data for Pokemon silver?

Hihi! I created an account just to let you and anybody else who was trying to restore a save to the VC Wireless Trade injects of GSC, after about a week of tinkering and all kinds of nasty stuff, I was completely stumped, since the probably didn't have anything to do with the SecureValue or the actual save, or so it would seem.

Turns out that the save files exported via VBA-M or ones edited via PKHex or whatever strip away one last line of code, which is, for whatever reason, required to successfully run the save.

Basically, you take the save file that you edited; the one you tried importing into the VC Inject and open it up in a hex editor.
I personally used HxD but I guess it doesn't really matter what you use. (Download: https://mh-nexus.de/en/downloads.php?product=HxD)

Once your edited save is open in the hex editor, scroll down to the bottom of the file, the last line should be something like 00007FF0, paste in this line of code:
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 75 AC 32 83 1F 00 00 00

Insert it in a way that will create a new line, if the editor says something like "you are about to change the file size," etc, just click yes so the new line is imported.
At that point, just overwrite the file in the proper JKSM directory and import via JK.

This won't fix problems with importing SecureFile saves onto other 3DSes or whatever, but this worked on both my n3DS and my o3DS, so it's worth a shot.

EDIT: For whatever reason, I couldn't get the RTC to sync with the 3DS' time, probably since it was imported at a different time. Basically just google a way to change the in game clock; it varies between GS and Crystal.

Hello there
I'm trying to backup my save for Omega Ruby to use with PKHeX
Every time I try doing that, the program freezes on a yellow screen, any solution?

 

[sammichito]

I'd say install a9lh and kiss these kinds of problems goodbye.

How does it not work? Works perfectly for me.

Are you using PKHex as a CIA or are you using it via The Homebrew Launcher? (As a 3DSX)

The 3DSX version is kinda fickle, if you're using the 3DSX version, then I'd probably give SVDT a try.

Hello JK !

I saw a project named PCHeX and the developer is not very active and not very written in the same way I want so I said "it's my time !". I'm rewriting all the code of PKHeX in C++ (at least all the lib part, for reading / writing save, PKM class, etc...) with the same methods, attributes, but in C++

But the problem is that I would like to import and export save in the program, but it isn't possible unlike to use the Bank for ORAS and XY (and I suppose in the next update of the Bank, Sun/Moon will be the same). I don't know if you release the specific code to access ROSA and XY saves, but you give us the 3DSX link a few days ago. Could you send me the source by PM ? I would appreciate it ! I'm not in the part of reading and writing save of ORAS and XY, so don't worry I have time

If some are interested of the project, I will post it on Github in the next few days

The goal is the same of PKHeX with some enhancement :

- Reading directly the save of a Pokemon Game
- Editing the Boxes, adding Pokemon
- Add what you want
- Writing directly the save, with an automatic backup
- Legitimity check
- Multiple UI Language

- A good look-and-feel UI with drag and drop, pretty select box (like when you select a nature, you will see AttSpe+10%, DefSpe-10% along with it)
- Seeing all the changes between saves (like "Add Pikachu on Box 3, Shiny of XXX, ...) and being able to select one and import it
- Presets of Strategic Pokemon (Smogon sets)
- Maybe a QRCode reader to import PKM of the PKHeX version on PC

I'm focusing on Sun/Moon save at the moment, I will add XY and ORAS when the first version with the UI will be finished.

Thanks JK for the help !

EDIT: Just saw PKSM which is the same goal as mine ! Maybe not the lib, but I will try to help him instead :o

Double post, but JK post a specific 3DSX for XY / ORAS saves a few pages ago.
Because in the 11.2.0.35 update, the save of ORAS and XY games are located randomly in memory, so he used Pokemon Bank to locate it. You have to use the 3DSX specific version with Pokemon Bank.

Here is the link of the specific version, with an enhanced XML that select automatically Pokemon Bank when you launch it. If I have the source code I will rename it to appear it as another name in Homebrew. Here it is only the files that JK posted it few days ago :

It only works with Pokémon XY / ORAS though. So keep your JKSM classic too

I have to tell you, but there is a Pokemon save editor already. PKSM is its name, and it is still being updated. It does basically everything you want your app to do. It would probably be a better use of your time to try to help out the creator of that rather than starting from scratch.

Yep I contacted it on his thread

It's not finished, but the UI is here so yes, I will help him !

hey i just tried to download the JKSM file on page 1, but I keep getting a pop up saying "canont open file.....as archive", and when I try to extract the file with WinRAR it says either the file type isn't recognised or the file is broken! Please help!

Usually if Winrar doesn't work for me, I use 7-zip to open the archive instead.
It's essentially just an open source Winrar alternative, and whenever Winrar fails me, 7zip usually opens the file without issue.
If that doesn't work, then just redownload the file I guess

The thing isn't showing in homebrew. Anyone know a fix? I'm trying to back up an X and Y game.

LemonEXE did you have a discord, Twitter, Facebook ? Check my infos on my profile and contact me whatever the tool, I have the files for backing up X Y and ORAS games

Is your folder for the app the same name as the 3dsx file?

I've tried to dump ExtData of my Pokémon Moon (downloaded) but it states that the title does not use it. Pokémon Moon does use extdata and i've seen people with downloaded copies do it: any ideas?
