So I Just purchased a New 3DS Pokemon Edition 3DS and stupidly updated to the latest firmware by not paying attention, so I learned unless I feel like doing a hardmod I was screwed, but I decided while I was making a decison I might try to edit the gamesave for the VC Pokemon Red game, thus far the only way I knew to do this was go into the 3DS option under settings, delete the game and save the backup, it indeed saved a 0000001.sav file but it was 128KB vs a Normal game save from a regular GB/GBC/GBA flash cart or Emulator which normally is 32KB in size, the file is 4x larger and as far as i understand the data for the VC version of these games has not changed enough to have the backup be 4 times larger, my question is what would make it that large and is their any encryption or something making the game save backup that large, I've looked at an origional save and this in hex editor and there is a bunch of space that has filler data basically a bunch of zero's, was just looking into a solution to converting it to the 32KB save and then back if need be, if you want any other info ill do my best
btw i did try to rename an original 32KB sav file and load it up in the 3DS it made the VC game crash instantly lol that obviously don't work
