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?
This might be the same bug that was preventing people accessing MHX extdata saves.
Whenever I run JK's SM, it goes into a black screen/red screen and just stays there. I'm using menuhax and I'm on 11.0.0-33U. Any fix to this?
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

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 -

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:
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:
@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:
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:
@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:
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:
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

@
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:
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 -
