Holy dead thread revival. Much has changed since I replied to this thread.
To get your original save, I recommend PBT and a CFW-friendly copy of SDF (can't help you find that, site rules and all). You may not need either if you dump the save with GW and it's 512K. I always get the 128K games so that route never works for me.
If MH4U is 512K though, you may just be able to dump the save and game, rename the dumped save to "0004000000126300.sav", rename the dumped game to something like "MH4U.3dz", copy the ROM to the red card's microSD, and have the save work when you load the ROM. In which case you can stop there (and just copy the save to the N3DS internal card), but if you're not wanting to use the game in ROM format, re-rename the save to "000400000FF40A00.sav", select your MH4U ROM from the multi-ROM menu, run SDF, and extract from the CTR Card option using Y then A.
If it's got one of those damn 128K saves instead, or that method just sounds overly complicated, run SDF in PBT. With the game cart inserted, go to CTR Card, and hit Y then A to extract.
At this point, you have several choices. Most of them involve transferring the "filer" folder from the old 3DS internal card to the N3DS internal card. So go ahead and do that.
You can dump the game as a ROM with GW software (you will have already done this if you used the alternate extraction method). If you want to use it online, rename it to .3dz extension. Then, with the ROM loaded from the menu, go into SDF, go to the SD tab, select the save, hold L and hit A, then hit A again, then close SDF, then on your PC rename "000400000FF40A00.sav" to "0004000000126300.sav" and the save should work.
Of course, you could always run MH4U as a CIA. And MH4U is one of those games for which a legit CIA exists. So, it can be run from SysNAND or EmuNAND. Thanks to the new NTR version spoof, you can even go into the eShop and get the 1.1 update on SysNAND. The procedure is the same, except with SysNAND you just boot GW mode to SysNAND and run BBM and SDF as ROMs. Either way, from the SD tab, select the save, hold R and hit A, then hit A again. The save should be there when you launch the game.
If you want to keep using the physical cart though, there's the save manager plugin for NTR. It doesn't quite use the same folder structure as SDF, but it uses the same decrypted files. All you have to do is go into your "filer\UserSaveData\<datetime>" folder (note that <datetime> is not the actual name of the folder, it will be a unique set of numbers containing the year, month, day, and exact time including micro seconds, that the folder was created). You should see another folder with the short title ID for the name ("00001263" in this case). Copy that folder to the root of the card, and rename it "save_<titleID>" (in this case "save_0004000000126300"). Now load NTR and start the game cart while holding R. You should see a green flash to let you know the save plugin is working. The game loading may be paused to restore the save, so, after a few seconds hit A. If the game still doesn't load just reboot. Your save should be there now.
Hope that helps.
