Making gba homebrew cia is the only way we know to inject saves. If a developer really want (and nobody want) he can port 3dstool, makerom and the python script to 3dsx/cia so it will make the cia on the console, and the part of backup the data folder can be done with some file manager.
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
you shall only inject on SysNand!
and remember that you have to install AGB_FIRM patched in emunand too, to play gba games in emunand
I entered the game's titleid which I got through FBI, 0004000000c93700, and it closed on me. Any help?
Funny business that. I did inject in sysnand, and I'm sure I did patch it on emunand.
I'll check just in case, because I do recall maybe deleting and reinstalling emunand at one point.
EDIT: Yep. Gotta re-patch. Hurrr I'm a dumbass. LOL

It looks like you're using gen_rom.py from release package.
It won't work on Windows, you have to use modified one.
Managed to generate a cia somehow but it didn't seem to install over (overwrite?) the gba game. Are you guys sure I'm supposed to enter the unique id and not the title id? How am I supposed to enter it anyway? FBI and devmenu format it in different ways.
Title ID and Unique ID are the same thing.
You should enter it same way as title stored on SD card, in your case it should be 00c93700
Made a few changes to make this work on Arm9loaderhax so we won't need 9.x FIRM.
Yeah, the bin file only works that way. The 3dsx still works fine under sysnand hbl.

Not trying to hate, I tried to help you in the switch noob thread by asking for you, but you don't want to accept the answers you got, so do whatever then. -

A @ ATEMVEGETA:@BigOnYa, Man, first of all thanks for your willing to help, much appreciated. But, it's not that I "don't want to listen", rather than I need soemone to EXPLAIN to me how and why all these are risky.
-
-
A @ ATEMVEGETA:For example, HOW is is risky to get banned if you extract the save files to the CFW?

We are not Nintendo, so we don't know exactly how/why/when they ban, but better to stay on the safe side and not do shady stuff, if you don't want to be banned. Hayato is one of the most knowledgeable ones here on the subject and I believe what he says.+1

A @ ATEMVEGETA:@BigOnYa, Yes ofc we don't know how Nintendo bans work, but if there are situations where a lot of people have tried safely then we can at least assume that this path is pretty much safe. To say don't try anything homebrew relative just to be safe forever is the easiest thing to say to someone. What I am trying to figure out here is with which cases and what actions got most of the people their bans for.
-
A @ ATEMVEGETA:Most things I can find resulting to a ban is save-editing reasons, like Pokehex, etc, and going online afterwards.

Ken, your hamster inside it is hungry. Can't you turn POE on/off in your WiFi settings page? Or is it not staying on?+1

A @ ATEMVEGETA:@BigOnYa, Well, in that thread they say it's pretty much safe to manage save files back and forth to consoles as long as you don't go online with cheats activated or with a pirate game.
-
-
A @ ATEMVEGETA:also, I'm not planning to use any cheats, etc, just continue the normal gameplay on the emulator

@ATEMVEGETA if you use save from other switch you may be ok, but using a save from emulator to switch will prob get you banned

A @ ATEMVEGETA:The save file will be created and started normally on the Switch's OFW with a legit game. Then that save file will be transfered to the emulator and continue the gameplay there. Then send it back to the console.
