If it can't open the save archive, the save might actually be in extdata rather than the save data. What do the files in the extdata look like?

Thank you mate! Now could ELI5 how/why I needed this? I'd like to better understand these things. c:

Edit: Trying to export save data from MHGen and I get an "Error opening save archive!" message. My MHGen is downloaded.

The save for MHGen is in the Extdata folder. You'll need to extract it from there.

Most old 3DS games use fixed locations in RAM for various things that are shared between games. Newer 3DS games may have various positions in memory for the same things, and the XMLs contain information pertaining to this. Some have randomised locations in memory, though, and we can't get .3dsx files to work with them just yet.

There is another feature I am missing from svdt.

In svdt, everytime when you open svdt and select a game, there is created a backup of the current save automatically.
Then, you have a folder like 'Pokemon Omega Ruby/', with subfolders for each date and time, like
Pokemon Omega Ruby/20160811-081530/main,
Pokemon Omega Ruby/20160811-102059/main,
and so on.

It is a very comfortable feature, because the names of these subfolders are generated automatically. If you want to do this manually in jksv, you have to type in a name for the save each time.

Is it possible to add this feature to jksv? :)

Hi, i'm very very new to this kind of stuff. But what i did was played MHGen a bit before the procedure, launched homebrew via browserhax and then launched the MHGSV tool. I managed to copy /system and /system backup. But somehow, the third line that says ," Save files exported to SD://MHG" kept freezing. At first, i thought it just needs time. However, after over an hour or so, it seems to stuck there. I tried it again for the second time and waited for an hour too, but it also produces the same result. Any insight?

Attached are the screenshot. Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does it exit when you hit start? If not, that's really weird, because everything is closed and cleaned before that last line is printed.

It is both. Because i tried exiting and checked my sd card. No save files. Only the system and system back up files.

Yep it does, could it be maybe im just patient enough then? I'll try waiting it more again, after all my sd card is only 4gb

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
    +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:

    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
