So is there anyway to use the saves with cias?

Nobody has really figured out how to, supposedly ACNL has a special anti save game injection that blocks users from adding saves to their digital copy of the game, to prevent cheating. It works 100% for sure on the USA .3ds version of the rom though.

i thought if you had the official nintendo save data tool it would allow you to do a 1 time transfer i believe..? unless if im wrong. i used this when i transferred my retail acnl to my legit eshop purchase one. it takes the save off the cart completely but i have a feeling that with gateway and savedatafiller that you can just back it up and inject it back to the "cart" (rom) but thats just what i suspect.

also thanks for the saves matt

helped a lot once i got savedatafiller installed and working..i lost my save and wanted to get back to where i was so i was able to get all the items i lost and then some without having to use my powersaves to import the items a few at a time lol

That's SO true! I just realized that the header is in the user's rom, not in the save. That's good news for me! I'm gonna post the link to the special town saves, thanks for pointing that out.

Also I haven't tried your villager portraits save, but I wanted to ask you. Are the portraits ordered and easy to find, or randomly placed? Also, Are they in a safe place where villagers can't move on them? I want to know what in-game date you used last when you created the save, so I can write that date on the save .zip file so that everyone can time travel back to the same day where nobody moved yet. That's how I have my special item town saves protected from villagers.

Portraits are ordered by animal type, the same sequence as official Japanese guidebook.

The date is written on the filename, Feb 7, 2014.

Oh I see, that sounds way better than ABC order. Your save is highly appreciated, I never once had a chance to get all the portraits. Now anyone with Gateway can have all the portraits to give out any time.
I asked about the date because my 3DS' date is different from my in-game date. So I wasn't sure if Feb 7th was the date to use or not. I'll add it to the zip name and on pastebin. Your save was listed on the special item town saves. Thanks again for the save, means a lot!

Would love to give an answer, but I have no experience with using these saves with cia or the eshop version of the game. If you guys figure out how to work it outside of the cartridge version, that'd be great! Did you say that you lost your save trying this with your cartridge?

dm646 · Feb 10, 2015

oh no i didnt lose my save while doing this. i lost my save after i downgraded my xl and formated my sysnand but it doesnt matter because, with your wonderful saves i was able to get everything i lost back and then some

Just wanted to add in a few things to mention about save injecting, etc.

There has been speculation that deleting the encrypted value or something it's called would allow you to inject the save into a .cia install (the option is R+X in SDF). I tried that, still didn't do anything for me, got a corrupted data error.

Also I have tried to use the official transfer tool to go from gateway 3ds to cia install, that errored out too.

So basically for the time being, you have to inject these into 3ds/3dz versions in order to share them.

I don't quite understand what you said.
AFAIK the Security Value is a signature of your save data. If you delete or modify the Security Value, or if you modify the savedata without re-generate Security Value, the savedata is corrupt.
Security Values for installed titles are stored in 3ds NAND (sysNAND or emu NAND), while for cartridges they are stored in the carts' savegame area. It's only useful to export them for decrypting RAW savedata.
SDF exported savedata is already decrypted with the SecurityValue, and can be injected to any ROM or CIA installs, since SDF will generate SecurityValue when importing.
It's only my understanding. I'm not quite sure for it.

troa11 · Feb 10, 2015

It could be as you say, but AC just works on a whole extra level cause they really don't want you swapping saves. If you try to import a save into a cia install without doing anything special, the game tells you this was not the last save used on this system and it must be destroyed.

It was guessed by a few that deleting the secure value might remove this check, but as I said, it didn't.

ROM save -> SD game ====> cannot load, but if don't choose delete and import previous data then OK.
SD save -> ROM ====> OK.
ROM save -> ROM ====> OK.
old SD save -> SD game ====> haven't tried but I guess not OK.
backup old SD savefile and emuNAND, play and update save, then restore old SD savefile and restore old emuNAND as well ====> OK
backup old SD save (with SDF) and emuNAND, play and update save, then restore old SD save to SD game (with SDF) and restore old emuNAND as well ====> haven't tried but I guess OK.

So the SecurityValue isn't the signature as what I said.
It seems the signature only exists for SD game, stored inside NAND.

Super duper noob to 3DS hacking here. Pls be gentle.

Do you have to have Gateway to use these? Or would Sky3DS work? I'm stuck with fw 9.4. v_v

I'm 98% sure you need a flashcart, since you can't inject games on retail card .... I'd recommend gateway if you're planning on going all the way through the flashcard scenery XD (selling your 3ds and buying any 3ds from fw 4.2 to fw 9.2 and using gateway.)

Sky3DS works on 9.5 I heard.
You need homebrew support, so this won't work with Sky3DS. So yep you need a Gateway to use the homebrew app.
You also have no hope for even CFW, you're permanently stuck with just 3DS game support on this 3DS. Though that's all you really need lol so don't feel bad about Sky3DS.

Sorry linking to games isn't allowed anywhere. You need a USA version of the game, in .3ds or .3dz format.

I got a USA version of the game but I still get the error, do you know why this happens?

Hello, does someone have a save with all golden tools and crown?

Razzyness · Feb 17, 2015

Just wondering if anyone would be willing to help an animal crosser out and send some villagers my way. I can do the same back for you.

But yeah, i got this working and thanks for the hard work!
