Hacking R4i-SaveDongle Updates & Info

[CollosalPokemon]

I still don't see why I can't restore my own save though...

Imho did you flash your R4i SaveDongle to firmware V1.2? Mine is on V1.2 (and using v1.3b software) and I was able to restore Super Mario 3D Land's save successfully. (of course, we can't decrypt it yet but it can be restored/backed up)

So, what exactly is the process for getting somebody elses save to work? Everytime I try on Zelda I get save file corrupted. (using 1.3b and fw 1.2)

Here's what I did:

Extracted Key from dl'ed save and decrypted it with that.
Extracted key from my own zelda save and rencrypted the decrypted save with that.

I also tried uing the same keys for both steps, but my understanding is the above is the proper way.

Why would you do that? It's not necessary to unencrypt and encrypt it when restoring it...(or at least not until they can be modified)

I downloaded a save file from their website to test out loading other peoples saves. Can't get it to work.

Ah, I see. Then your problem is simply that saves are region-locked now (yeah -_-) so try using a save from your own region. I was able to borrow another guy's save for OoT (testing, same region as mine) and it worked fine.

I think your missing their point. They want to know if they're doing a restore of someone else's save correctly, if not, how do they do it? Oh, and the most important thing, is using someone else's save.

I said I used a DIFFERENT guy's OoT save, not my own, and it worked fine. Mysticwaterfall's problem is probably (I can only guess atm) is he's trying to use a different region save file because I was able to use a DIFFERENT person's save file which had the same region as mine.

I downloaded all 3 "US" labeled saves and finally got one of them to work. The first one I tried must either be mislabled by region or corrupt, even though it was listed as "working".

 

[jimmyemunoz]

Which one did you download? The one at level 5-2 doesn't work. I haven't tried the inital save one but my guess is that is the one you got to work.

 

[mysticwaterfall]

The near complete one is the one I got to work.

Does the encrypt and decrypt tool work with MK7 yet? Got the "key not found" error when I last tried it.

-_- Seriously, people.

Didn't know there was a 1.4 but I highly doubt it fixes this issue. Seeing as how the encryption still has not been figured out. Can someone provide proof, as I did, that it DOES work? If not I'm going to say you guys who claim you can back up MK7/SM3DL saves to games other than your own are full of crap.

 

[kthnxshwn]

MK7 and SM3DL can't do that magic yet.

 

[someonewhodied]

You can back up and restore YOUR OWN MK7/SM3DL saves, but not use other peoples' yet.

I want to use my Acekard 2i Savegames to install them on my retail games. Is there any way to convert them for the R4i Savedongle?

I have installed my Acekard 2i savegames on the retail games, but they didn`t worked. I don't know, which format is the right one to convert it for the savedongle.

 

[Pong20302000]

raw format auto dectection

It doesn't work. I think, the device doesn't support 16MB savefiles like WarioWare Do it Yourself.

 

[Pong20302000]

ah the big ol save

some emulators will import sav files and then convert and save them in another format

Warioware D.I.Y. doesn't work on an emulator.

pretty sure it works on some of the ones with latest updates

try it on DeSmuME
http://www.emucr.com...-svn-r4153.html

then go under FILE
then import you AKAIO sav data
then once loaded press export

it will export the raw sav data that the official carts use
