Hacking Can someone modify the Gateway RAW Save dump to Sky3DS converter script?

[Deleted-19228]

I have a collection of dumped personal games that I play from my Sky3DS. The saves were dumped using Gateways Save dumper in the launcher menu.

It basically takes the save file, adds a header and pads the file to reach 1025KB in size. I want it to remove the header and remove the padding so I can inject it back into the original cartridge it came from.

And for the people about to say IT WONT WORK ONEONEONE111EXCLAMATIONS!1!! it will. It's the exact same game, same header, etc. I have literally dumped my own Pokemon and SSB games and loaded them onto Sky3DS with the saves intact and running on a completely different system.

Alternatively I could use NTR, would prefer not to though.

The original perl file is attached. Thank you.

Just a question, would it be possible to convert any (Gateway) save to a Sky3DS format? Or does it only work if it's your personal dump/save?

Thanks!

Done, please test, at the moment you need to select original save size! later i can add template auto search to know what is the correct size automatically.

Technically as long as the headers match you can do that. You can't straight copy to another header game unless you use SDF or NTR's save plugin to decrypt and re-encrypt.

I just donated 10 eur to you maybe you can re-code it to make it a bidirectional save game converter? Also not sure what "Cart ID" is for but it shows all FF's for me.

EDIT:

In case it wasn't implied. It did work. Tested with a 512KB game. I converted the raw dump to Sky3DS and back to raw and it was the same

I've got a 9.7 3DS and Sky. I was interested in downloading a save file for a game and using the restore function of DiskWriter to put it on the cart. I assume I would have to change the template to somehow use the same header as the save?

Thanks very much for your responses.

Correct. I would appreciate it if you kept that out of this thread though.

Check into the Sky Army Knife thread, should have enough info to get you going http://gbatemp.net/threads/release-v-1-5-1-sky-army-knife-a-sky3ds-template-tool.382118

Alright, will check that out.

Thanks again.

Card ID is the online header if its FF its erased meaning thats an offline game or scene release erased it. im adding auto save size detect to the program now. and thank you!

Online header isn't part of the save though, it's part of the original rom.

some saves have it its available on save so i display it. check some saves, some will have it.

 

[Deleted-19228]

oh ok I didn't know.

 

[NoptheJmp]

New version, Clean Game name display, and auto detect save file size. enjoy

 

[Deleted-19228]

I was actually going to suggest to use template.txt for your auto detection

If you can add conversion to Sky3DS from Gateway this would be a great all in one tool that many people would use I'm sure.

 

[NoptheJmp]

i will add the other way around conversion tomorrow very tired now, thank you. glad i could help.
