Okay so here's my question. I have the retail cartridge of Luigi's Mansion 2 on which I've been playing and gotten fairly far. I'd like to play Luigi's Mansion 2 on my Gateway without losing my save progress. I have that dumper tool thing to grab the save file from my cartridge, is it possible to transfer my save from my retail cartridge to the Gateway 3DS?
Got it working today
Gateway 2.4b
Backed up ROM(.3ds) from retail card
- (file name is something like ABCD.3ds)
Backed up save(.sav) from retail card
- (file name is something like ABCD.sav)
Renamed .3ds to .3dz (important!! otherwise it will not work. some header thingy i presume)
- (now it's ABCD.3dz)
Copied .3dz to red card
Started the game (via gateway) and created a new savefile in SD card for the game (to identify save file name)
Identified the newly created save file in SD card
- (file name is something like 0000XX000XXX000XXX.sav)
Wrote down the file name (0000XX000XXX000XXX).
Deleted newly created save file
Renamed backed up save file to the long one. (ABCD.sav -> 0000XX000XXX000XXX.sav)
Start the game and enjoy the good old save.
Hope this helps..
