Hacking Gateway, CFW, and saves questions

[Skeet1983]

I was wondering if it is possible to restore a GW save back to Retail Cart through Savedatafiler. Someone on maxconsole said it is possible, but CFW and ROM in CIA format is needed. Does anyone know anything about all this? Thoughts appreciated

Export save from gw emunand via sdf

Install cfw

Import save to card via sdf

How do I install CFW? I have Sysnand on 4.x and Emunand on 9.x. Can all 3 be installed/used?

Can you please walk me through doing all of this?

It's honestly not worth your time to install the CFW just to inject a save, unless you absolutely need to. The CFW is buggy and it requires a lot a work to set up

I wanted to inject save so I can play Zelda MM on my N3DS

I agree that it is probably not worth your time.

CFW install guide: https://gbatemp.net/threads/4-x-only-cia-cfw-complete-guide.373532/

sdf doesn't really require a guide; just follow directions on screen to export (gw) and import (cfw to cart)

It is not worth doing then?

I am ok if it is not worth doing, don't want to brick my old 3DS. Guess I will have to wait for N3DS GW support

I set up the 'cfw' on a separate SD card purely for save injection.... And I'll have to say, the above posters are correct in saying you must require it pretty badly To undertake the installation.

It took me 2 sessions at 6+ hours and about 20 posts in the CFW CIA thread to get it working and i consider myself an advanced PC user.....
