ROM Hack Question Breath of the Wild save game editor for Switch?

[Inversion]

Anyone got one? Also a tutorial would be nice as well.

I don't think that's possible atm

Isn't it possible to put save data on a microSD? If theres a save game editor and its possible to put save data on a microSD then I'd happily delete my save data and put it on the SD.

The save data is on the console so unless theres a way to access the save data and extract it from the system then no.

 

[vinipeix]

It doesn't really work that way
The Switch is a new system and there are no useful tools/methods to hack it yet

Damn. Nintendo and its crap. Maybe somebody can make a hack for the switch by making a program that auto starts when you turn on the switch or open a game, by putting said program on the microSD card.

to way oversimplify, nintendo encrypts the saves, and only works for your console/user. You would need to know the key to this encryption in order to decrypt it (so you can edit), edit it, then re-encrypt it (so the switch acknowledges it as legit)

This is the same for the other console makers, sony and microsoft, and it's been this way for a long time. Only reason you can do it on the 3ds or wii/wii u is because they've been hacked and the key to the encryption has been found. Until that's found for the switch, there's no way to decrypt it, edit it, and re-encrypt it.

Expect it to take a year or two before this changes.

The game is relatively easy to the point you don't need a save editor

Sigh...

If it's so easy, then why don't you do it yourself?

sm:hax, the wii u and switch version of botw use very similar save structures, so it's safe to say (with little modification) that you could use the botw save editor after dumping your save with sm:hax and then reinjecting after using again sm:hax

Sell your switch and get a Wii U if you want save editing possibilities.

yes but not at the moment
there's no userland exploit released to do so

PegaSwitch

 

[eduall]

but this is not possible yet !

 

[vinipeix]

PegaSwitch

Go on
Extract the save, modify it and reinsert it with PegaSwitch then

OP will be grateful

You realize I was responding to a "I don't think that's possible atm" not a "I don't think you could do that atm", right? It's clearly possible atm, it's just that no one has put the time into implementing sm:hax.

I’m pretty sure @shinyquagsire23 screwed around with his save

EDIT: it was yellows8
