Export/Import save games to .3DS/.3DZ/Retail carts
Hey guys,
This guide is based on another tutorial here which confused me a bit so I hope it this makes it a bit more clear. This guide will cover some things that are not covered in the other thread. So I hope you guys benefit from it as I did.

The following guide should let you do the following:
.3DS Save -> .3DZ Save (Follow Parts A & B)
.3DZ Save -> .3DS Save (Follow Parts A & B)
.3DZ Save (Header A) -> .3DZ Save (Header B) (Follow Parts A & B)
Retail Cart Save -> 3DS/.3DZ Save (Follow Parts C & B)
.3DS/.3DZ Save -> Retail Cart Save (Follow Parts A & D)
.3DS/.3DZ Save -> CIA/eShop Save (Follow Parts A & F)
CIA/eShop Save -> .3DS/.3DZ Save (Follow Parts E & B)
Retail Cart Save -> CIA/eShop Save (Follow Parts C & F)
CIA/eShop Save -> Retail Cart Save (Follow Parts E & D)
Requirements:
- Original 3DS/3DS XL or 2DS
- Firmware 9.2
- Emunand
- Gateway (Only if you are trying to export/import .3DS/.3DZ save files)
- rxTools (only essential for Retail Cart backup)
- SaveDataFiler
Disclaimers/Assumptions:
1- This guide doesn't cover N3DS. It might work with those steps, but the retail cart won't work as N3DS cannot use rxTools.
2- I did not test this with Card2 games, so I am not sure if those steps will work fine for those games.
3- You can use other CFW instead of rxTools such as Cakes. I'm using rxTools as an example only.
4- As usual, use everything at your own risk. I am not responsible for anything that may go wrong.
Before you do anything, make sure to backup your entire SD card!
(A) - EXPORT .3DS/.3DZ save:
Savegame example: Super Mario 3D Land (0004000000053F00) > http://www.3dsdb.com/

2. Copy your Savegame and save it as 000400000FF40A00.sav
3. Put the SD back in the 3DS and execute Gateway exploit
4. Mount the .3DS/.3DZ game you want to export the save from
5. Start SaveDataFiler (CTR Card should not say broken!) and highlight CTR Card
6. Press Y and then A to export the save game (It will now be in the SD tab)

This tutorial has been through several revisions, and I think everything is complete now (with the exception on card2 saves, no idea how those work). Unless there are some mistakes or something new comes up, I would consider this to be the last version of this tutorial. Enjoy
