Hey everyone, just giving a quick writeup

The DSi transfer went perfectly, however I encountered 1 issue
The game I bought was Sleep Clock, and after mounting its save file to FAT as per the instructions, it came up as 60kb. The modded Sudokuhax save file was 64kb, and GodMode9 refused to inject it.

The way I solved this problem was by taking my extracted DSi NAND, extracting my Sudokuhax (v1.0!) save file, and copying it into the Sleep Clock directory with GodMode9. It was 80kb, which was more than enough for the 64kb Sudokuhax 1.1 save file. After packing it all together, Sleep Clock (Sudoku) booted Sudokuhax 1.1 no problem.

After system transferring like normal, the slapped together save file made it successfully, and I was able to install B9S on the 11.4 system.

@Plailect, has there ever been reports of this or something similar? A DSiWare on the list having a smaller than needed save file? If so, I can supply my Sudokuhax (1.0, I'll update it to 1.1 if needed) save file so you can add it to the guide.

He wouldn't normally pay attention to being tagged, so if I were you I would make an issue on his repository, as he usually looks at those. Sounds like it is worth telling him about. https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/issues

I commented it on this thread here, but Plailect completely ignored the fact that I tested this first hand, with successful results. A bit rude to be honest.

He was rude to me too when I suggested something (putting DSiWare hax back in for people that needed to restore NAND backups). But whaddaryougonnado, he has all the cards ...
Edit: just read the conversation, he didn't seem that rude. To my suggestion, he just said "or people could not be idiots and need to be able to restore backups" or something along those lines, and closed the issue.

I dunno, people in hax communities are idiots and stuff goes wrong sometimes, so having options is always better than removing them.

Yeah and someone asked how to do it every few days, and we always had to dig through old guides to try and find them the info, it would have been way better if he could have put the proper info with the right files in there. But oh well, no longer relevant now :-p

It's just arrogant. Like, come on I'm trying to help. I experimented on a whim and discovered something new that works. I don't even want credit, I just want to help people

he seemed pretty nice to me when i talked with him about the luma updater 2.0 not installing. we even talked here on the temp
It just came off as rude. Here I am, with a solution to an issue people might encounter, and he doesn't even give me the time of day.

I know I'm a complete nobody in the scene, but I've been on this forum for almost 10 years, I got a solid enough idea of what I'm talking about.

So many fellow Melbournians. If you need help any help when it comes to installing, I can try to help via PMs.

Regards from a Victorian lad!
