Homebrew Im need help transferring save data for SSB4

[GalladeGuy]

I recently got emuNAND on my main 3DS and I was wondering if I could transfer the save data from my SSB4 game card onto an installed game so I don't have to carry it around. SSB4 doesn't support official save data backups (as in the one built into the 3DS), and SVDT didn't work at all. I have SaveDataFiler, but when I tried importing the save, upon launching up the game, it tells me its corrupt and to either make new save data, or close the game. I'm really struggling to do this, so any help would be appreciated!

[Tutorial]Export/Import save games to .3DS/.3DZ/Retail Cart

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!

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

You could also try JKSaveManager.

There's no part F though...

Using SaveDataFiler transfer the Savefile normally & then Delete the Secure Value from the Installed Version of the Game, it should work.

 

[uribemaster]

Just us jk savemanager. it's very easy to use and you'll get your save transferred in no time. You don't need to remove secure values or anything

How do I delete the secure value though?

Like @uribemaster said just use JK's save manager. Worked for me transferring my Smash 4 cartridge save to an installed cia version with no problems.

Thanks guys, it works! Is transferring the extra data necessary to? Or should I just leave it be?

Well it's not too necessary but it does have replay data and stuff so you might as well

I'd recommend to transfer your ext-data just be sure. It probably includes Spotpass and movie data stuff.

I'm glad you found a solution & while its Pointless now, I'll leave it for future reference.

To delete a secure value in SDF you find the game's ID Number (00EDF for Sm4sh) & press R+X.
