Importing save question

[Something whatever]

Is it possible to inject a Pokémon Brilliant Diamond Or Shining Pearl save file on my switch if I don't have the game using JK, ECT?

 

[Something whatever]

fully know this is a dumb question

 

[Xjackio]

You need a save on your switch to load it with jksv, doesnt matter if its just a started game, jksv wont display the game for restore if there isnt a save

Figured as much, thank you

This isn't really true. If you build it yourself and have someone that can export the save info file thing I added, you can create and import saves for games you don't have. I added it a few months ago because of games checking for other saves to wall off content. I also don't know how this place would deal with sharing them here because they're the nacp and icon thrown into a file from your system.

OHHH going to try it

Wrong you won't even see the game on checkpoint list if you don't initiate the game for the first time.

I think I have the file for Let's Go Eevee and I can export Diamond for you and give some instructions for how it works if you want. If you can't build it, let me know. I'll post one here. It has been a while.

OK? Who was talking about checkpoint?

Im saying in general you need a save to be initialize for you to inject a save, so @Xjackio is correct and you are wrong.

Yes using JKSV, it's a new function

no anymore on JKSV

That's is true, Checkpoint doesn't support restore a save of a game you haven't installed yet.

not anymore if using JKSV

Thanks a lot to @JK_

OK. I'll attach it. Just copy and paste the stuff in the zip where it needs to go. The svi files need to be in the 'svi' folder inside the JKSV folder. When you start up JKSV, press X with your user highlighted and this should pop up:

Select Create save data and then a different menu should open with your games listed. If everything is where it should be and I'm remembering correctly, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond should be in you list now. Just highlight and press A and it should create an empty save for it.

That should be enough. It worked to get me Mew and Jirachi before. Let me know if anything odd happens or you have trouble. It's been a while since I've sat down and worked on it to be honest. Data Management will show an empty icon for the save. JKSV can delete the save too once you're done since it'll be easier to find.

Wow, i havent updated jksv in a long time, bc it worked just fine for me, or maybe i didnt even bother to test other things with it, thx

Do you know where I can get an SVI file for Let's Go Pikachu?

I have Let's Go Eevee if that helps. It's an old dump from before I added the icons to the end though. I believe they still work, but you're gonna get a generic gray icon for it with the title id.

Thanks a ton for this! I attempted this just now and was able to create the save data. Unfortunately, Legends Arceus doesn't seem to recognize the save. The console lists it as "???" with no thumbnail. I saw where you mentioned this wasn't an issue for getting Mew/Jirachi in BDSP, but maybe that's not the case for Legends Arceus? Would it be possible to fill in the missing info with an updated svi to see if that fixes it?

I'll check it out when I can to see if it triggers for me or not for LGPE. Only other advice I can give now is to see if maybe importing an actual save file will make it work? I can't really add anything and build it right now because I've been working on some changes and they're not finished. Since diamond and pearl just check if it exists, I assumed arceus would be the same. Maybe not?

 

[Swiffy22]

No worries! I appreciate the response. I found that I could just edit the flags in the save with pkhex to unlock the quest, which I'm surprised I didn't think of doing first. Thanks again!
