ROM Hack Boot9 without a 3ds, is it possible?

[nemofio]

Hi, I had my 3ds for years, but an accident broke my 3ds. I got a new 3ds and I already recovered all my eshop games. I would love to have my saves back, it took me hours of gameplay, it is important to me.
The Sdcard of my original 3ds still working. I found that is possible to have my saves back without my original 3ds.
My problem is that I have the original Nand, but I don`t have the boot9.bin. It seems that I have to have my original 3ds to get the boot9.bin of my first 3ds. Is there any other way to get the boot9 without a 3ds? Or is there a way to recover my saves without the boot9?

Thank you all

boot9.bin it is the same for all consoles and it does not affect save files.

You would need that console's otp.bin to decrypt the NAND. Hopefully you still have that.

To access the data on the SD card, you need the movable.sed (which is in the NAND).

sounds like a question for @TurdPooCharger . it's my understanding that you need the movable.sed. you can get that from a NAND dump. it will say SEED in the text area iirc.

 

[godreborn]

the movable.sed is from 0x800-0x93F

Lads, Thank you very much. I didn`t know that boot9.bin is the same for any console. I have the seeddb.bin on my sdcard as well. Now I can try to recover my saves.

Sorry @godreborn and @nemofio. Late reply.

• (Very Messy Tutorial) SDTransfer: Moving or cloning a (source) system's Nintendo 3DS folder to another (target) system.
• Copying SD Card content to other system's SD Card (ID0)
• Merging 4 sd cards to 1.

Quick Outline

1. Mount the Nintendo 3DS folder with ninfs using boot9.bin and (source) system's movable.sed.
2. Copy and paste the (decrypted) dbs, extdata, and title subfolders over to your computer.
3. Copy and paste these (decrypted) subfolders into the [A:] SYSNAND SD for the (target) 3DS system.
4. Fix that the drive's CMACs, delete the secure value to prevent triggering anti-save restore, restore fake tickets with faketik, and mass unwrap gift icons with Cthulhu.
