I have Japanese Cubic Ninja if you want me to try a port. I don't have a Japanese 2DS, but I have a Japanese Old 3DS that I could use as a proxy, since I can simply not complete setup.
 
It should work (not tested) with any US/EU 3ds on the condition that the firm is < 7.0. The srv: pm exploit that this app depends on was fixed in 7.0.
JPN CN, unfortunately, doesn't want to work with my code. Still working on that.
Does this exploit depend on NATIVE_FIRM? Because if so, this can actually be ported over to newer firmwares with SAFE_FIRM.
 
Zelda OOT support and src added to OP. No powersaves images just yet, might need some help with that.
What's included are the save files, save00.bin and payload.bin for 5 regions. Only US, EU, and JP tested.
I've updated the CN qr to display text instead of light grey/black success/failure indication. That's included in the package, I may add it to the OP in a while.

That would be awesome. :D I tried and just can't figure it out.

So you found a solution with OOT?
When you mean import the files you mentioned, could it work with Powersaves while inserting them on a save file?

Yeah, I'm not sure if you can just import the files to the cart, backup with powersaves, and share it with everybody. Will look into it.

yeah that will work as oot didn't use the cart specific crypto (that wasn't added till 2.x iirc), so if someone can Import the save on a 3ds then export with powersaves it should work fine for anyone else, although it will need to be done for each region

edit: I can confirm 2DSaver OOT works for Japan. Tested on 4.5 old3ds.

Still working on getting a US powersaves OOT image at least. Can't find the stupid thing :P
I also have a sky3ds, but they don't work with powersaves.

edit: i've uploaded a tester US powersave made with @Myria 's https://github.com/Myriachan/Powersaves3DS
I have no means of testing it right now (i've ordered another PS3ds) but maybe it will work for you. This one is cartID c2fe0090; so it may not actually work, but you won't know that until you try it.

Hey, should any brand new Zelda OOT cartridge work? I want to know because i'll need to buy one. And does this powersave should do the trick? At least for trying to put the powersave into the cartridge.

Yes, any zelda oot is fine. The cart id might be 45fe0090, however, so someone with that card would have to build a powersave for you. All I have is the c2fe0090 one. Actually two of them.

Now, if you have a second 3ds, or a dslite/phat and flashcard, you can also use those to inject the 2DSaver files as well.

My card Id (on the back of the cart right?) is aqep631202 and it's EU. I doubt it'll work on mine then...

For example, If i have a "AQEEX10191" Zelda cartridge, someone would need to build a powersave for that specific card, so i can put it on my cartridge through the powersaves device? Sorry for the questions, never done this.

I might be able to produce a valid EU powersave with my sky3ds, but it's about bedtime for me so I'll have to get to it later. Anyone with an EU OOT cart and powersaves can make one though. Someone with cfw can also use Gateway's firm to dump the raw save and use myria's tool to add the proper header. That's how I did the US one above.

That's the cart serial and it's unrelated to the cart ID. There's only two known cart id's for Zelda OOT. It's based off the chip brand I think.

jus had a look on my spare copy and on decrypt9 it says "cartID: 9000FEC2", not sure if this is the right things but it seems to just be a mixed up vesion of your cart ID so I assume it's just different tools showing the ID in different format

but all that said I'm pretty sure it ended up not even mattering when gateway released their saves, and AFAIK the difference was a cart revision to add the e-manual to save money on printing manuals, iirc initially gw had issues but it was quickly resolved by the community and one save for each region was needed rather than one for each revision too

but if all else fails you will probably just need a rev0 copy to make the save (the one with the manual) as the greatest hits one I have is the one without a manual
What does the abxyrt do on startup
forces the system to boot up a game in limited demo mode and bypasses the initial setup screen, but this is a temporary boot and all the home screen etc is blocked until you either run this tool or go and properly setup the system, this key combo only works if the initial setup has not been completed

I tried this with an OOT3D (US) on a 2ds (US), but when the hax starts it said :
2dsaver-zoogie (OOT) failure.
Any tip? (PS. Thanks for creating this, btw)
