I faintly recall that you could actually do this before (I think it was by using a particular piece of homebrew or something else to dump the data of the town you were currently visiting), but Nintendo eventually patched it when they caught wind of it and also because people were abusing that. I believe the same thing happened to fully editing/hacking towns once the Welcome Amiibo update was released.

Unfortunately, I have no idea whether someone managed to get that thing working again at some point.

The classic way was to dump memory while in the desired city (usually by using classic .dat browserhax, fixed in 9.5 or something), isolating the appropriate part of memory, then restoring it while in your city and save

The basic principle is theoretically still applicable (for example through Rosalina debugger), though I don't know how to identify the right area of memory - or for that matter a good memory editing client for GDB

If all else fails you can go to an ebay mercenary for 80 bux

im going to make another thread as a request for the town i want as a save game for welcome amiibo
as i dont have a 3ds and am using citra i dont believe i am able to do this myself.
