Hacking Problem with Sky3ds and PowerSaver Pro

[cearp]

Convert card1 to card2 won't work on some games if you'd like to import/ export savedata between retail card to sky3ds. To use with powersaves, you need to use original dump header from your actual copy of a game. Otherwise, you need another 3DS that has an ability to run CFW and games installed as CIA then use SaveDataFilter to import/export savedata. However it's limited on games that require > 7.x encryption. You could try to import savedata to games (>7.x) because you don't need to play that games. Hope it will help.

sure ok thanks.
but you are saying to use savedatafiler with sky3ds? how will that work?
sky3ds will not work in gw mode (retail carts to not work in gw mode)
and savedatafiler will not work in classic mode.
so how can you use savedatafiler with sky3ds...?

SaveDataFilter will read Sky3DS as a retail card. You need a 3DS running CFW because Gateway Emunand can't load CIA together with a retail card.

ok, using the leaked 4.5 CFW, retail cards work in that? I did not know, cool
but, the 4.5 CFW will not support newer save encryption, 6.x encryption, correct? so for new games we are in trouble?

Retail cards will work with CFW. New games won't work with CFW but the save import/ export will probably work via SaveDataFilter (haven't tested yet). You can give it a try.

Does the gateway menu not read the sky3ds to restore save backups to it, if it did you could just restore the raw save to sky3ds even if it does use 6.x save encryption

So steps would be
Insert retail card, go to gateway menu and pick dump save
Insert sky3ds and pick restore save
.....pretty sure you would be left choosing the game blind but if you do them one at a time you could just press the button until it detects the correct game to restore the dumped save to

But on the other hand iirc someone tried to dump a game via the gateway dumper that was installed on the sky3ds and it didn't work properly, and the gateway launcher checks the game before dumping/restoring the save to find the product code.....so this may not work

ok, you say 'probably', so yes i do not think it will work - because i read that people with card2 games with gw, using games that use new save encryption like pokemon, you cannot back up the save because the save encryption is not supported.
so, this shouldn't work (unless you can 100% confirm)

you mean dump the save using the gw save backup option? that is a good idea, it might work if the sky3ds is 'accurate enough' let's hope!

I can't confirm 100%. All my savegames transfer from CFW to my original dump/ public header without any issue. For games using card2, I use Powersaves with my own header dumped from retail cards.
