Hello so ive had a hacked 3DS for awhile, and i downloaded a .cia game, but then i wanted to buy the real cartridge, so i did, but now im wondering if theres a way to transfer the game save from the CIA file to the cartridge with Checkpoint or something? I known that you can create save backups on Checkpoint, but i dont know how they work, and i also know that cartridges in the game slot appear on the Checkpoint menu and you can select them.

Is this possible? Thanks!!

sorry for the necropost, but would you use checkpoint or gm9 (or something else) to inject the save into the cartridge?

Can I edit all of the cartridges content such as adding it deleting files inside it?
JKSM and Checkpoint are used for savegames. The games are usually stored as read only and can't be written to without physical tampering

    well actually
    a new console won't do anything right now, because the games are still in development, that's why there are few games being released

    it won't make the games finish any faster
