When i used my gateway i never ran roms off of the cart i just used emunand and CIAs. I have a directory on my PC where i dumped everything (just copy paste) from an old SD card i was using for that (the one that goes in the 3DS not the gateway). So, i have everything set up after following the 3ds.guide and have installed some CIA games. Is there anyway i can take my saves from a couple Zelda/Mario games from my old "gateway" SD card "backup" and use it with my new setup? No big deal if i can't. But would be cool if i could
I had a save from my Sun cart and it works fine on my digital copy. Sent from my SM-G903W using Tapatalk
You mean drag that folder back to an sd card and boot it like i did with gateway before? I didn't think it would still work like that. Guess i will try.
i don't know lol.. Most of this stuff is way over my head. They are games i ran after installing CIAs to my emunand. — Posts automatically merged - Please don't double post! — The folder looks like this.
u have to use the gateway cart to mount the game to extract the saves since they're encrypted. it's not difficult to do, but u do need the cart if u still have it. also, gateway doesn't work with the latest a9lh version afaik, and it currently doesn't work with the latest firmware either. u can downgrade the firmware and install a9lh v1 to use with gateway, then install the latest a9lh and update to the latest firmware with a9lh. I converted all of my games when I moved on from gateway. works perfectly. good luck!
maybe one day gateway will update their arm9loaderhax.bin. they might update the launcher.dat to fix the patched 11.3.0-36 block though. however, since they've become so irrelevant, they probably don't care so much.

Are they gateway saves though if i never ran them from the card? I only used the card to load emunand.
hmm.. those might be from forever ago when i ran some games off the card. Is there a place in the Nintendo 3DS dir that might have enumand saves? Just thinking outloud lol.. i have no idea about most of this stuff.
the saves should be in the Nintendo 3DS folder. if the NANDs r linked, u'll probably have just one alphanumeric folder name. where? I'm not sure which folder saves r located in. it sounds like ur NANDs were unlinked at some point which is y u can't use the saves in sysNAND. I have no experience with converting saves from emuNAND to sysNAND though, so this is mostly speculation. someone else should know for sure.
