Hello there!

I swear I'm starting to break out. Pills aren't cutting it out anymore, things are way too complicated for me and I'd really need some help.
I know there are PLENTY of guides and FAQs, but none seems to fit my problem. Soooo... Here it is:

I hacked System A (JP N3DS XL) using ReiNAND, unlinked my NANDs, everything's working perfect.
I have System B (EU N3DS) full of EU games. It's unhacked. It especially has eShop versions of Smash Bros and Animal Crossing.

I backuped the savefiles from Smash Bros and Animal Crossing from unhacked System B and now have beautiful 001.sav files or something.
I installed EU .cia of these games on my System A, the hacked one. Is there anyway to inject my backuped files from System A into System B's .cia games?

______

I know about savedatafiler. I played some Smash on my hacked System A so as to create a save file and exported the savedata to my SD card. For Smash, I got two bin files. I really don't know what to do with them, how to switch them out. I've been fiddling with them for a week or so, and it's really REALLY starting to break my ovaries. to I'm at a complete loss, seriously.


Pleeease help a damsel in need, O proud knights and knightresses!

Backup and restore the save files with the same tool and they should be in the same format.
As far as I know .sav is encrypted(?) whereas 2 .bins is the unencrypted save?

Yes, .sav is encrypted Nintendo legal files. The .bin are the uncrypted ones.

Does it mean that I'd have to run savedatafiler or save_manager in my unhacked System B to get the files and port them to system A? Meaning that I'd have to, at least, run the homebrew channel on System B?


EDIT: Soo... Same Just3DS, but worse. If it's a .cia, it means I have to hack my unhacked System B?
