Monster Hunter Generations Save Data Transfer App after nintendo servers will be gone

[Radu13]

Hi, Capcom recently posted this:
https://www.capcom-support.com/hc/e...-Services-for-Nintendo-3DS-and-Wii-U-Software

Online services (online play and other functionality that makes use of online communication) for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U will come to an end in early April, 2024, and on the softwares affected list they mentioned this save data transfer app as well.

So I wonder... will be still possibile to use the save data transfer utility between Generations on 3ds and Generations Ultimate on the switch after servers will close?
Maybe with pretendo and then making the switch connect to a specific dns server to access the transferred save data?
Or more simply still be able to use the save data transfer utility but locally or completely offline and then we could manually move the converted save into the switch/emulator?

If I remember correctly, its a password system, so there's a chance its all on Capcom's servers, if its the case, they can just keep it running despite Nintendo shutting down their stuff (like PokéBank will still work).

I am really hopeful it could still work with Pretendo and similars or even directly like Pokébank does!

Pretendo don't have Switch stuff, have it? And even when/if they do, they won't have the same save conversion software as whatever its on the server that does it currently. They can do something similar? Probably. People have thought ways of doing it offline https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-transfer-your-mhxx-3ds-save-to-mhgu-on-switch.637578/. Doing it on a server would only take some extra work.

Yeah they don't have Switch stuff atm, but I don't know where the conversion happens to begin with, before uploading the save? Or before downloading it, maybe the app itself does the conversion and it isn't made server-side? (so the server is just used as a cloud to then transfer it into the switch)

Manually move? Not happening ever officially. And if Capcom had plans to change the save moving process to work locally, they would've updated the 3DS app before the closing was looming so close. But as I said before, the internet will find a way.

Yes but it was related to my previous answer if the conversion can be done with that app and it still generates a converted save file I could then move myself totally offline or locally somehow. It all really depends on how this software does work.

No as it use Nintendo server.

So do all games currently supported by pretendo, so that's not the big deal of it...

Didn't dasding already make a homebrew tool for this? (I could be mistaken)
