Yup its working!
I just downloaded USA save file and i'm using it with my EUR backup (rom).
DS save files are definitely NOT region locked and no reverse engineering is required afaik.
So this is what you got to do:
I searched for save file for some time (hard to find it) and only one that I found is this: https://www.thetechgame.com/Downloads/id=32663/mario-hoops-3-on-3-ds-game-save.html
You need to make an account to download it though (i made it).
Once you download the file from the website, unZIP it. It will be in .DUC format! Not usable for DStwo!
So once downloaded it, go here to convert it to format that DSWtwo can use it (.sav): https://www.shunyweb.info/convert.php
Click "browse" to upload your downloaded .duc save file,
and set "Source Format:" field to: "Action Replay Max DS (.duc / .dss)"
and set "Target Format:" to: "Acekard 2 | Cyclone........Supercard SD | Top Toy DS (.sav)"
See the picture below:
Than click "convert" and after that, download your newly converted file "mario hoops 3on3.sav" file (or whatever its called).
It's a USA save file with everything 100% unlocked (i tested it).
Than connect your SD card from DSTWO, to your PC,
and go to where your game is located, and put
"mario hoops 3on3.sav" file you converted in same folder as
"Mario Slam Basketball.nds" rom is, and just rename it from
"Mario Slam Basketball.nds" to "mario hoops 3on3.nds". (same as that .sav file is)
Put SD to DSTWO, plug DSTWO to DS, and play!

It only "sounds" complicated, trust me!That sounds complicated
Basically all you need to do is:
1. download the save file. (after you make an account)
2. convert it.
3. put it on your SD card, where your game is.
4. rename your game to be the same name as save file is.
5. have fun!

I'm at the last tourney and I always failed at the round againt the Final Fantasy teamCool! I'm playing it as we "speak"! Fun game haha
Oh, just a note... i have a "super card DStwo 2 in 1" and i'm using Nintendo DS lite.
It is now in the US Version but I didn't have any savegame. I think I just changed the nameI know how that feels, i was like that before.
Just follow what i wrote, and if anything is unclear, feel free to write here!
I'm no expert, but i have some experience and knowledge since i did all this before, so i'll try to help as much as i can.
I only changed the Name of the game from mario Basketball to hoops 3 on 3 but not the version or savegame
Oh!
Yes, yes that is correct. Only change game file to whatever save game is name. Its still European game, just named differently.
Its a good thing DS saves arent region locked.
By the way, you can rename it whatever you want tbh, but the MAIN THING is
that game and save file are named EXACTLY the same, except extensions (.nds and .sav) of course, those are file types not file names!
You can call them "Super mario the dude" lol but the save and nds files MUST be named exactly the same. That's the main thing.

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:
@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!

@
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:
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

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:
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)
