If the game has been played on an updated console, then you need to update your synand to at least 6.X to dump the save.

I have a similar problem, I want to get my MH4U save from a 3dz Rom into a retail cartridge, I only have gateway and old 3dsXL on 9.8 emuNAND, I have savedatafiler installed but I don't know how to get my save into the retail cart, my sysNAND is 4.3

Use the patched rxTools version. But you must be aware that if you inject the save into the cart in 4.X, then the save will have the old encryption, so you won't be able to use it on 6.X+ consoles. If you want to avoid that backup your nand update you console with the game first (only if you have the browser, or you won't be able to restore your 4.X nand)

So I back up my emuNAND or sysnand? Then I use the MH4U cart to update my sysnand, and after I'm done injecting my save, do I have to do a hard mod to downgrade or is there another way?

And how do i even install and use rxtools? Do I put the dat file in the sd card and do the ds profile exploit?

I want to do the same thing with Smash Bros but I can't because in rx mode, savedata filer show "CTR Broken" and every time I launch the game, it reboots the 3DS to SYSNAND so I can't even play it or load it to be able to inject the save.

I want to play it on a n3dsxl with firmware 9.0.0

Do you have the browser on your 3ds? If yes follow theses steps

1. Follow the steps A1 to A7 of this tutorial to extract your rom save with sdf.
2. Backup your nand with the gateway menu.
3. Update your sysnand with the retail cartdrige.
4. Setup rxTools : http://www.rxtools.net/#!howto (replace the rxTools.dat with this one).
5. In rxMode, put your cartdrige in the slot and start SDF.
6. Go to the 3rd tab highlight your save and press L + A.
7. Boot the game to check up everything works fine.
8. Restore your 4.X nand backup with the gateway menu.

OK Thanks for the help, i'll try it now and report back if it works.

Edit: Transferring the save into the retail cart worked, but there is a problem.

To play online i need to update the game to version 1.1, and i cant access eshop, is there anyway to update the game through a cia file?

You can't use cia updates on classic modes unfortunately. If you have CN, then you can use pasta with the eshop spoof to download the update and play directly in your sysnand.

I was wondering about this, how did the save stuff work for when 6.x+ actually came out, did everyones saves go bad? I thought after injecting the save on a 4.x console, it can be used on a 6.x console, but after not again on a 4.x console.
Use the patched rxTools version. But you must be aware that if you inject the save into the cart in 4.X, then the save will have the old encryption, so you won't be able to use it on 6.X+ consoles.

    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
