Recently made another post about how I am trying to rescue a friends pokemon saves, Well, I got the save pulled from his sd backup with ninfs, but its 1mb vs 472kb like its supposed to be, wont open in pkhex etc Pretty sure I got the right file (will attach screenshot showing title id and the save in question to post) The longshort is a friend lost his 3ds, but I had a backup of the sd card including the stuff to decrypt and mount it all with ninfs, but the saves arent blank files named MAIN like im used to, even decrypted - Help me please?

It is encrypted you need to have CFW or access to homebrew to decrypt the save to get main file for pkhex.
The console is lost but I have the save pulled from Ninfs (thankfully had a nand backup) from an old sd card backup, I was told that would work - "If you use ninfs you have to use 3ds-save-tool afterwards to get usable data" was said to me in my original post, so I think I am close!

Unless you can decrypt it it is no use, the format pkhex look for is a file call main.

    Support from big n may stop aka new firmwares, but devs will prob continue making games for it as long as sales are good.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    New firmwares are only there to prevent piracy/softmodding hardware, they do not "enhance the user experience" as they claim so on and so forth. And if they decide to add new features to the system via firmware updates, then it's quite rare.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Games are still released on PS4\ XboxOne, so I imagine will be same scenario.

    Currently we don't know what's happening at all, it's up to our imagination to decide (especially via IGN and other sources).

    I have a feeling big N has a extra trick up they sleeve to prevent piracy this time w Switch 2. (Lotus 4 maybe) So the new games can't be dumped, even w a dump tool. (Mig dumper)

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It would have to be extra security measures in the Switch 2 gamecarts that will be different from the OG Switch carts. So, for example, Switch 2 gamecarts will not work with the Switch, because it has a different ASIC. Game partitions and layout to a Switch ROM will be the same, but has extra flags in the ROM header info that only the Switch 2 will recognise.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    Just tell them to keep the change.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    When I owned my pizza place many years ago, we didn't have a cash register at all, every employee was given a "bank" of small bills at start of shift. Then everyone pocketed the money and made change, and I'd cash everyone out at end of shift. One time we had a gunman come in to rob me and wanted to know where's the cash register. I told him we don't take cash, only credit, and he left with nothing. Cops caught him even.

    My wifeys aunt gave her some gold coins in her will when she passed last year, and the tax man was gonna tax her a gift tax on it, but our accountant said if she sells the gold and put that money into a 5 year CD, it will be untaxable. So she did, and now IRS saying they want a income tax on the gold coin sale. Damn taxman always greedy.
