Recently just modded my 3ds and was wondering if it is possible to convert a .sav file to a cia format so that I can restore the save through Check Point. Not sure if that's how it works. I'm aware of the methods that require JKSM, though I was unable to install it successfully and used the alternative Check Point save manager (which is fairly new? hope ya'll are familiar with it).

Basically, I just want to get convert a 100% completed save of Majora's Mask 3D and put it on my digital copy of the game. Any advice or comments are appreciated :)

You can dump it via NTR CFW's save plugin and GW or if you got the sav from a Sky3DS simply use JKSM, but I guess it's GW for you.

Thanks for the info! I'll look more into it, though if someone can provide instructions on how to do that, I'd really appreciate it :)

Care to explain in a bit more detail what you are trying to do? Are you trying to take the save from a retail copy and move it to the digital one? What do you mean convert sav to cia? .sav/.dat are save files while .cia/.3ds are the games themselves. You can't convert them like that. Simply get the .sav you want to copy to the digital version, then import (restore) it to that, no conversion needed. Just make sure that you don't have the retail copy in the 3DS and that the digital version's ID matches the folder name of the save you are trying to restore.

PS: What problem were you having with JKSM exactly btw?

    Yesterday was history, tomorrow is a mystery, and I love me a good pancake
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Hm, it makes sense. Nothing else comes to my mind then :/ I guess you have to either make efforts finding the right screwdriver or just give up
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @_Ruri_, I'd rather give up
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @Xdqwerty, I guess. No places that sell screwdrivers around?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @_Ruri_, not that I remember
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Oof. Maybe supermarkets sell them?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @_Ruri_, mmaybe
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    They should be pretty common screwdrivers so there's a chance
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Don't know about the tri-wing screwdrivers though
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    They're basically Nintendo exclusive from what I know so no chance you're gonna find them in random physical stores
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    The normal cross ones you could though so you can probably take out the back cover
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @_Ruri_, they don't seem to be tri wing screws
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @Xdqwerty, You could have a chance to take out at least the back cover then

    Dunno about the insides though, never disassembled a 3ds
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Try checking out the iFixit guides

  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Huh according to the iFixit guides it doesn't seem like you need tri wing screwdrivers to disassemble the insides
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    That's pretty good news

  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Rest are standard Philips screwdrivers
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    And various spudgers but you could make-do with other stuff no problem
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    What's the issue again?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb gonna shower
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Okay see you

    @Xdqwerty, Dunno if you'll read this but I finished reading the story, I love the humor lol, and the idea of an incompetent hero with a smart kid is really particular, haven't seen it around much. Their dynamic kinda reminds me of Manzai (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manzai) humor, pretty cool

    A small flathead screwdriver that just fits in the center unscrews triwing screws with ease
