I have an old Pokemon X save file I want to load onto my game. I've tried putting it in the path D:Nintendo 3DS/ID1/ID2/title/00040000/00055d00/data where Pokemon X save files are usually stored but when I launch my game it launches as if I would be starting a new save file (it asks me to select a language and to begin a game. Then it starts the usual "Welcome to the world of Pokemon" intro sequence)
If that 00000001.sav was originally created in <ID0>, it has to stay in that exact <ID0>.
*** Reinstalling a game CIA (TitleID: 00040000XXXXXXXX) that has already been installedwill permanently overwrite and delete its savedata (00000001.sav). To successfully restore the backed up save file, copy and paste that *.sav after it has been installed.
If the save file was from a .3DS version of the game played on a Gateway 3DS or Sky3DS+ flashcart, the above restoration techniques will not work because the saves are the same .SAV formats. You'll have to use Checkpoint or JKSM along with the 3DS flashcart when backing up or extracting that savedata.
***
Lastly, some games have a anti-savegame restore measure known as Secure Value. Directly copying and pasting an old copy of the 00000001.sav will trigger this anti-cheating mechanism. See how to bypass or reset this in this thread.

I swear like 99% of arcade games wouldn't even exist these days outside of MAME the arcade machines are old and busted very few ever saw any sort of home conversion
I mean if a company could use AI to do the work of a home conversion for essentially free why not? The rights for some games are completely lost though
