Does anyone know how I can transfer the .3ds saves to cia?

I know that you can use savadatafiler with MT-card.

So the better question is, how to use MT-card to N3DS?

you cannot use mt card with n3ds becuase the mt-card is not compatible.
However you can use savedatafiler to transfer the saves from one sd to another
Also why do you have a mt card?

I got it cheap locally and I saw a post that you can use savedatafiller with MT-card perfectly.

IIRC, the OOThax Gateway exploit is needed to trigger the launcher.dat. Can't I just replace the launcher.dat with MT-card launcher.dat?

You can only use mt card of 3ds version 4.1-4.5 on the old 3ds models. Mt was abandoned about 9 months after it was created because the devs switched over to blue 3ds I believe. So you'll need to go get a old 3ds/xl and hope it's not on version 11.0 so you could downgrade to 9.2 and then to 4.5 with gateway. It also only supports emunand up to 9.2 I believe

Is this confirmed and tested to not work on n3ds? Or is this just a guess based on it being abandoned?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Actually. I have a way to test this.

It would be great if someone could do this for me.

Using a N3DS, can someone try to enter GW using the older launcher.dat? That way we'll know if it works.

Why do we need to take an interest to a nonsense test based on your faulty imagination?
Don't you even know MT launcher != GW launcher no matter what the version they are?
And why don't you trust the forum members who have replied you?

Repeat, repeat, repeat.
NO O3DS 4.X NO MT-CARD WORKING.
Sell your MT then pay money to whom can convert .SAV to SDF format to you if you can't get an O3DS 4.X.

I'm not sure why you are being so rude when all I was trying to do was to ask some questions based on what is currently known and unknown.

Nobody will answer you since your test request is based on distrusting everyone who has given the only correct answer to you above.
If I didn't reply that to you, then? Everybody would make silence to your test request. Then you would bump this post, to make more people see how nonsense & faulty your request is.

Maybe that is because you don't have a proper understanding on what I am asking.

Here's what we know.
  • GW works by using an entry point to load launcher.dat
  • N3ds released with 9.0 and hence needed a new entry point
  • New entry point discovered and hence launcher.dat can be loaded
  • Question is, can MT launcher.dat be loaded with a suitable entry point on 9.x
The answer provided was based on "we haven't tested it but I'm sure it doesn't work" as opposed to "we've tested it and confirmed it doesn't work". This is the issue that I have.

Then RE MT Launcher 2.3 and GW Launcher 3.0+ if you can.

This just proves that you don't understand what I am asking.
Then just to wait for anyone come here until your 3DS stuffs out of their lifetime.
I don't think anyone who has a RE ability has an interest to pay attention to your request, which is considered to be nonsense & faulty by tracking MT update history, since they also know about the entire history.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
