Is there a way to just convert a Monster Hunter Generations (3DS USA) save file into a Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate save file? My 3DS stopped working 2 years ago but i stiil have some MHG backups.

*Edit: i did all this bullshit, the app detects the 3DS save but now it says that the switch file is not a valid one. I tried using the one you provided but it's the same problem. What can I do?
manually extract your playerslot.
but i doubt it will work....
same gen games like MHXX <==> MHGU works tho.

Nah, don't worry, I thought you were from Peru but you're actually from Canada, my bad.

Here's my save data, if you do it then thank you.

oh sorry i didn't understand Copai1. Architerra : Here is a file of object and equipment. Normally there are absolutely all material objects for the creation of weapons or armor. For the equipment file, these are complete sets for hunting records based on youtubers.

I have actually found a fix. It takes a little bit of logic. So, when you open the MHGU (Switch) save file and convert it to 3DS and save it becomes unreconizeable by the save editor next time you open it. The error lies within the file size, the actual data conversion actually went ok. So, the MHGU file size is 5.039kb, but the 3DS save file is 4.616KB when you convert your switch save file to 3DS the file size becomes 5.039kb larger than usual which causes all different kind of problems like save editor not being able to read it or Citra not being able to save thinking the file is corrupted, Citra can still read the save however.

The fix to the problem is that at the end of the file there's too many excessive lines which the 3DS file doesn't need. It might just be a reservation for the Switch. How I was able to fix my file is removing the excessive 0000 at the end of the file. You need exactly 32 full lines of 0000. I can give you an example below. This is the best work around till OP updates the app.

Can anyone attempt to port my MHXX 3DS save to MHGU Switch? I've been trying for about a week to no avail.

I tried editing DLC items out, hex editing challenges out with the help of someone on reddit, neither has worked and it either just crashes as soon as i try to boot the game or it if I delete the challenges with a script it tells me the save data has corrupt areas and that it's fixing it, then crashes.

Save works fine on 3DS though...

    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 @ 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?
  • Sicklyboy @ 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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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 @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ 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
