ROM Hack [Question] Homebrew'd Poke Transporter

Kirbyranitar · Feb 27, 2021

So ever since I homebrewed my New 3DS XL system, I've been having trouble downloading Poke Transporter through PokeBank, and kept giving me Error 007-2920. Take note that I can use PKSM to transfer Pokémon from Generation 3 to 5 all the way to Generation 6 or 7, however, PKSM doesn't work with the Virtual Console releases of Generation 1 and 2. Although, I can get the CIA for Poke Transporter, but when I do, my 3DS says I have to update it to Version 1.5, and it won't let me, and keeps giving me Error 007-2913 or 007-2920.

Poke Transporter is literally the only way to transfer pokemon from the Virtual Console Games to Generation 7, so I was wondering if there's a way to do that using Homebrew instead of the official software.

I once transferred my Yellow mons to Moon long ago, and I remember using PKHeX to do it (Pokèmon save editor). If you have access to a PC, which anyone doing this stuff should anyway, you can export your save files on your 3DS and open them in PKHeX.

After obtaining save files using your preferred save manager, you move them to a PC and open them in HeX. You can move Pokémon between games by opening two windows (open the app twice), loading each save on a different window, and dragging the virtual console mons to your gen 7 save, across the windows. PKHeX will automatically edit the Pokémon the way legitimate transfers do, and they will be treated as virtual console mons.

Save the save file, and put it back onto your 3DS where your save manager will find it. I recommend keeping a backup of the original save file whenever editing saves in any game.

Thanks! I have PKHeX and a save manager though I never figured out how to put the save files back into the games? Do you have a link to a YouTube video explaining how or could you just tell me how to do it? thanks again!

007-2920 can happen for a few reasons:

used FBI to install a Poke Transporter CIA
used Freeshop to download Poke Transporter
The eShop is just not working well right now and maybe you can try later

Generally speaking the first two is usually where the issue happens. You can use FBI and search for the Poke Transporter title and ticket and delete it, then you can redownload from the eShop.

First, make sure you saved properly in PKHeX. File > Export SAV
If you used this option to save a 'main' file, then you pur it back on the SD card.

The two save managers I know of will export to and import from the same location.

In Checkpoint, which I use, the save is in 3ds/ Checkpoint/ saves/ [name of game]/ [name of folder with save]/ [your save file], starting from the root of the sd card.
In JKSM, the internet says JKSM/ Saves/ [name of game]/ [name of save]/ [your save file].

What's important is that the save file you edited is in the same location as it originally was. The save managers use a specific directory for each game, and will only associate saves in the correct folder.
Meaning, when putting the modified save back on the SD card, it should be
1) in the 'saves' folder,
2) then the folder with the name of the game (specific to the game, this is where the manager looks for saves),
3) then a folder with the name of your save file (a name you choose to remember what save it is, multiple folders can be here),
4) and finally your "main" save file inside of that, has to be inside its own parent folder as in #3. Inside of a folder inside the folder with the software's name.
Ex: 'JKSM/Saves/Pokémon Sun/TotallyNotHackedSave/main'

On your 3DS, you open Checkpoint or JKSM and navigate to your game. In CheckPoint, you hover over a save and choose 'restore' / press R. In JKSM, it depends on what version you have. It'll either have you pick a save file and give you the option to restore, or it'll give you the option to import and have you pick a save file, in order.
