Hey,
I wanted to know is there a way to transfer save data from Cartridge version of either Fire emblem fates conquest or fire emblem fates birthright to Fire emblem fates Special edition CIA?
For Example:

MATERIALS:
I have cartridge version of Fire Emblem Fates Conquest.
I have CIA version of Fire Emblem Fates Speical edition. (Which Includes FE Conquest, FE Birthright & FE Revelations(
GOAL:
To transfer save data of Fire emblem conquest CARTRIDGE verison to Fire emblem Fates Speical edition Conquest CIA version.

Is this possible? Since Fire Emblem Fates Speical Edition contains all three games (inc. Revelation) how can I only transfer one game's save data?? How can I just transfer one specific game data to the FE Special Editon CIA? If it is possible what do I need to do this?

THANKYOU!!!

NOTE: I have attached a diagram of what I am trying to achieve and what I mean. It is much clearer and understandable. So please check out the Example.

Use JKSM. It's a program that manages 3DS save files. It can be run either through the Homebrew Launcher or from the Home Menu in CIA form.

Export your save file:
1. Open JKSM >
2. If using the CIA version, select Cartridge and go to 3a; if not select Titles and go to 3b
3a. Select Conquest -> select Save Data options -> select Export Save -> New -> give the save data a name -> press A to close the dialog box
3b. If you're using an updated version of JKSM (made for Rosalina and Luma 8.0+, made by Phalk, iirc), you'll see two Fire Emblem Fates titles. That's normal. Select the first one (for Conquest). Select Save Data Options -> select Export Save -> New -> give the dave data a name -> press A to close the dialog box

Import Save File:
1. Have JKSM still open. If using CIA version, go back to the main screen then select SD/CIA then go to step the next step. If not, go back to the game list, select the second Fire Emblem Fates listing (for the Special Edition) then go to step the next step.
2. Select Save Data Options -> Import Save -> select the save data name you made before

Now this method only works with the first save slots on your CQ cartridge. Luckily, all 3 Fates cartridges read the same extra data so any of your save files stored there will be read by the Special Edition CIA, provided that the extra data and the Special Edition are on the same console and the titles are from the same region.

JKSM's CIA stores save files in SD:/JKSV/Saves. I'm not sure where the updated .3dsx stores the save files because they're not in the same folder as the CIA saves. If someone knows where they are stored, they can let you know.

So logically speaking I can:

1. Copy Main Save Data on FE Conquest (CARTRIDGE) and paste it to an extra slot. (Slots after first 3)
2. Then load up FE Special Edition and It will automatically read the extra save slot of FE Coquest.
3. Then just copy the extra data save to a main save and I am good to go?

Am I correct??? And thanks :)

I mean, you could do that as well. I only mentioned the extra data saves because I didn't know how many slots you had filled. It doesn't matter which method you use really.
