I've tried to do this with savedatafiler and was unsuccessful. I was later told its not possible. Best bet is to just start over with your retail card and use the Powersave device to "help" you along a bit faster.
Things you need: Gateway savefile, Powersaves, computer.
- Take out the 3ds sd card, the one located in the 3ds and put it in you computer and copy your Gateway savefile (extension .sav)to your computer(go to http://3ds.essh.co/ and check your title id, for Mh4U Usa it's 0004000000126300), then delete the one in the sd card.
- open Powersaves, put your genuine cartridge inside.
- use Powersaves do back up your cartdrige savefile, from now on we will call it BACKUP.BIN , Powersaves files comes with this extension (if you don't have one start anew and turn off after the first time you save, I'm not sure about this step, maybe it's unnecesary )
- go to C:/Users/<Username>/Powersaves3DS there should be the the Powersave backup as you named with the extension .bin
- move this .bin file in another folder, copy the Gateway savefile to the C:/Users/<Username>/Powersaves3DS folder and rename it BACKUP.BIN
- use Powersaves to restore BACKUP.BIN to the cartridge.
- Profit!
- It will say that there is no sd file, needs to be created etc...
if you use RXtools or can use it you can use savedatafiler i use that along side my gateway if i ever want to inject my saves into retail cart and visa versa
Yeah I have done it already. The save work fine on my O3DS (in both Classic GW Mode and CFW Mode), but when I insert the cartridge in my N3DS, it shows "The save data cannot be used...".

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -

TwoSpikedHands:
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:
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?

@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:
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:
@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!

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:
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 just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
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 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)
