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

[Deleted-19228]

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

I see now. It's at 0x18 in the sky3ds save file.

could this be used to restore other saves to retail carts?

No. This is to just convert between two separate formats of the same encrypted save.

Could you add Retail to Sky3DS?

I'm not the one making this >_> NoptheJmp said he would at it tomorrow.

 

[NoptheJmp]

hello again, Retail to Sky3DS option added, with option to input own Online header from retail cart for save to match, or auto add from template. report bugs here. ill fix later
thank you all.

So far so good.

Only thing I would suggest is find a way to allow spaces in the header field because in the Sky3DS template format there are spaces so if you want to do a direct copy and paste you have to manually trim out the spaces.

 

[NoptheJmp]

- Added online header with spaces
- added icon
- misc bug fixes.

I think its good now?

Everything looks good. Tested conversion each way and binary file compare looks good.

Can it be used with Gateway savefiles to convert to Sky3DS saves ?

It converts both way but remember these files are encrypted. You can't just randomly flash them onto something. Still needs headers to match.

This.
I tried flashing a Majora's Mask save from GW directly and to no avail, the encryption doesn't match (even if the headers do) and the game auto-deletes the save

What does it means by Cart. ID on that SkySave Converter ?
Sorry I'm new to this

Cart ID is basically the header. You can auto-load it from the template in the newer versions, or you can rename your custom header to header.txt and it'll detect the private header instead of the public one from the sky-provided file.

For me it converted the Gateway saves to Sky3ds saves but they are all corrupt in the game.

Before writing the game to sdcard with disk writer edit the template to use the same header from where the game that save comes from. And make sure save is from the same 3ds.

It is. IN the gateway menu I save the savegame then save the game at the same time so its identical. I then drag/drop the game into disk writer and install it to sky3ds. Then I convert save from gateway to sky3ds and import to that game.
it all goes good on the PC but when I launch the game it says the savegame is corrupt.
I did that with all my converted games and all are corrupt.
Your file is in the same directory as diskwriter so its got the same template file.

It can be confusing. When you use diskwriter the header needs to match in the template. I had issues initially as well but once I got it figured out it worked great. I keep a separate header file called "PersonalTemplates.txt" with all my person dumped games. I forgot to switch DiskWriter to that when I was writing the saves back and they were all corrupt. After changing to PersonalTemplates.txt it worked great!

Ive only been doing this for a few days. How do I get a template for my games?
I do the dumps in Gateway and the games work on the sky3ds but the saves dont. So what do I do to get a template to work with these saves?
