Hacking More profiles for games

[Little Baron]

My problem: I want to have more than 3 profiles for NSMB (we are 5 persons in our family). Is there a way to modify a copy of the game so that is use an other savegame and duplicate the number of profiles? If yes, I will change it for several games.

you could just use neek and have multiple emunands, each one with unique saves for ALL games

Or use the PAL version of the game and the NTSC version and then you can have a total of 6 profiles.

 

[XFlak]

yea but that requires you have the game saved on the HDD twice, and takes up twice as much space.

If it were me then I would find that as being the easiest solution, especially for my kids to just quickly choose one. It's only 360mb, which is not much, but if someone is REALLY anal then yeah having it take up twice the amount of space is not a good thing.

wit copy SOURCEIMAGE DESTIMAGE --id=K
source and dest images can have any known format (iso, ciso, wbi, wbfs, wdf, wia)
The first letter of all ids is changed to 'K' (I use always this unused letter and remember it as 'Klone')

If you are up for it there is a fairly in depth method you might try http://gbatemp.net/topic/128215-partitionbin-editor-released/ (have a quick scan through the whole thread but mainly Dack's posts)
I am not entirely sure how you might reconcile it with USB loading but it should not be that different.

My command above do all of the requested steps while copying the image.
You can also change an image directly in

Space is no problem. I have a 500GB drive an only about 80GB games.

I've tested it with animal crossing and NSMB and it works perfect for me.

Thanks to all

Now I have several *K*lones and all work without problems. And my animal crossing clones works now also online (followed your guide).

Thanks for this tools. I know them for a long time, but I didn't know about the savegame patching. Your tools are full of hidden features.
