Hi everyone, I'm new to this whole thing with 3ds.
I kinda need some help, I've downloaded the MHGSV and the save editor, and i'm putting the 3dsx file from the MHGSV folder to the root of my SD card and when I start up the 3ds there is nothing showing up!

I have a 3DS XL and a SDHC Sd card.

Please help

First off, you launch homebrew applications through the Homebrew Launcher. Download the starter kit linked on that page and put it in SD root.

Next, put MHGSV.3dsx in /3ds/MHGSV/

Then put it in your 3DS, open the web browser, hit the QR code button and scan the code here.

Reboot the system. Open the browser, go into settings and clear cookies and stuff, then try again. Just keep trying. It should work.

The wait time is probably because of your low amount of posts.

thanks so much i got it to work now, just one last question:

I have exported the file using the mhgen thingy now, do i just put the sd card in the pc and edit it with the save editor and put back the sd card in the 3ds and launch the homebrew via the QR code again and just start the mh gen thingy and just choose import?

I haven't personally used MHGen, but yeah, that sounds right.

@JK_ Awesome Job!!! Can you upload your Japan support one to GitHub so that the Hombr3w app can update it please?
It actually might not be needed anymore. Assuming I didn't absolutely demolish the font in fontforge, I got the size down to the point where it *appears* to still fully support japanese and isn't much bigger than 1MB.

This is a save manager you can install as a CIA. This means no more booting into the homebrew menu and rebooting to import and export saves.

Testing has shown that it doesn't appear to have any problems with any titles. Thanks to @Gocario, it will automatically delete any secure values.
It can also export and import ExtData IF the title uses it.

I've made it as simple as I can, while keeping the slot feature from my old save manager.
When you select backup or restore, you will have to select or create a new slot. If you don't like the input screen, you can create the directories yourself inside the game's export folder.

Save Data is exported to SD:/JKSV/Saves/[Title]/[Slot Dir]
ExtData is exported to SD:/JKSV/ExtData/[Title]/[Slot Dir]
System Save data is exported to SD:/JKSV/SysSave/
Boss ExtData is exported to SD:/JKSV/Boss/
Shared ExtData is exported to sd/JKSV/Shared/[ID]/[DIR]

Tell me if you have any issues. I've tried my best to get everything 100%, but I'm not perfect.

-FAQ-

-Why two QR codes?-
One has a font that supports Japanese, the other does not. This makes a 1.5MB difference in
size, so I figured I'd offer it for people who don't need the JPN support.

-I get a message saying "Error opening save archive!"-
This means one of two things usually. The first is that the game has not been
started and/or given a chance to format its save data. The second is that this title
saves to Extra Save Data or ExtData, like Fantasy Life or Monster Hunter Generations.

-What happened to L or R for auto dating?-
Type in the number 2 to have both formats pop up in the dictionary box.

-I can't open the Extra Data for [Title], but I know it's there.-
Some games with multiple versions, Pokemon and Fire Emblem Fates for example, save to
an extra data archive that they all share. This means I need to add a redirect for these
games before you can access it. I do not enumerate the Extra Data, I use the ID from the
title to access it or test if it's there.

-I open the 3DSX and it says "Nintendo 3DS Camera" or is blank and doesn't work-
You need the JKSM.xml file in the same directory as the 3dsx. This tells the HBL that JKSM
needs a target title.

-The 3DSX gets stuck on certain titles-
You need a newer boot and mmap files for 9.6+ files. You can find them here: https://github.com/ihaveamac/9.6-dbgen-xmls

-What is MHGSV?-
MHGSV is a save data tool specifically for Monster Hunter Generations. It is intended for people using homebrew
only on official firmwares, as it detects you system's region and uses that to determine which
archive to open. Using it on a US system with a JPN game for example will not work as it will
try to open archive 0x1870 instead of 0x1554. It does not need an xml file or target, making it easier
to work with if you only want quick save edits.

QR Codes/DL Links:
The 3DSX and MHGSV are attached to this post. I will work on getting source cleaned up and updated the next couple days when I have time. If you have any issues, be sure to tell me. It may not look too different, but I did have to change the way it worked in some places to get the home button working again.

The latest version is from 7/21/2016. It includes:
3DS Software keyboard
Home button works for most of the program. Exceptions are when user input is needed
Play coins can be set to any number between 0 to 300.
Auto centered text for menus.(This is easily changed back if no one likes it.)
Finally has color changing built in. Sliders maybe later. Any paint program can give you RGB values
Tries to imitate the way SDF handles errors(I don't like this too much and might switch back.)
Probably other stuff too.

The banner and icon were made by @Sgt. Lulz.

A big thanks to @Shadowfied, @Phanton, @Sgt. Lulz, and @A_Random_Guy for risking their saves and testing.

Source is available here: https://github.com/J-D-K/JKSM. I'm far from a pro though, so I know some could probably be done better.
i cant find and i cant take the photo of the qr code as everytime i take it jams. do u have any idea y?? sort of like stress up here xD

What is your firmware version? Do you have a custom firmware set up? If you're on 11.0, you can't use FBI. You would need to get a hardmod or get a 3DS with custom firmware or arm9loaderhax to do the DSiWare downgrade.
