Homebrew Can someone help me? Bravely Default (Want to continue playthrough but need Gateway Savefile converted for Citra)

[R4KID]

As the title suggests I need a Gateway savefile converted. I originally started the game on an actual cartridge but my savefile was corrupted years ago so I got rid of the game at a 2nd hand store. I was at the beginning of Chapter 5 or end of Chapter 4 IIRC with a LV90 party or so.

I found multiple saves online but they're all Gateway Savefiles and I'm currently using Citra. I've heard that you need Gateway installed to convert the save but I don't so I'm hoping someone is able to help convert/decrpyt it.

Thanks in advance.

You should be able to use JKSV decrypted save. You have to know the title ID of the game that you try to move the save into Citra.

That vid is just how to export saves though. I don't want to export the save I want to import a save that's a .sav format to work on my cia game.

Also JKSV doesn't read .sav files IIRC

you are correct. you have to decrypt the save first using a gateway cart. I have a gateway cart, but I'm not on the right firmware and I also don't have a save for that game.

here's a tutorial I wrote on it, but @MattKimura I believe created one too. they're very similar (last tutorial in that list): https://www.psx-place.com/threads/pinkys-3ds-tutorials.9726/ I didn't put it here, because there was already a tutorial on it.

I don't have a gateway sadly :< isn't there any way I can request for someone to do it for me? I reallyyy wanna finish my BD playthrough so I can move on to BS and then BD2.

some people might. there was a couple of members who offered to do that, but that was years ago, so they may not do it anymore. I think you have to be on 11.2.0 or lower iirc for gateway to work, and that's pretty old.

iirc, @Lacius used to offer this service, but I could be misremembering. I don't know if he'll still do it.

Any help is appreciated thank you.

I have a save laying around somewhere, it's on the 3rd "restart" or so. Not sure which chapter that is, chapter 5 maybe? Did tons of grinding and made a super OP party. All the shops and such in the town are maxed out IIRC.
Edit: i think this is the one https://www.dropbox.com/s/6gyqgj3g4p4dkog/BRAVELY_DEFAULT.rar?dl=0
