I love this tool. It has helped me back up a game to a digital copy I can play.

 

Help !!! I have a problem with this

How can I resolve it?

 

I had a similar issue recently, also with a pirated Platinum. I was able to back up the save using an R4i SDHC RTS Lite flashcart, but I used an NDS for that. NDS Backup Tool being the homebrew, the save is backed up and there was a wifi version of the tool that sent the file to your PC (needing a WEP connection, NDS doesn't support WPA). There's also NDS Adapter Plus, I had to fidget the cart a lot so it would recognize it. If you don't have access to those things, yeah, not a good spot.

 

I tried backing up my Pokemon Platinum game's file and the TWL won't recognize it. It claims there's no file detected or there's no data which isn't true at all, and I know my copy is official and not a bootleg, so I don't understand the issue. Other Gen4 games have worked fine, like HG/SS and D/P so I don't know why Platinum is having issues.

 

If I may, here's my pirated cartridge.



Here's the legit one.



Sticker edges are different, text on the back is different. I went 2 years thinking it was just fine and thought NDS Adapter Plus was just being a butthole to the cartridge, but I later learned how it was fake. Couldn't get a refund, so I got another cart.

 

the top cart is the one I own for Platinum. can confirm it is a PIRATE copy

the copy you have looks like it could be a legit copy but then I couldn't explain why your cart isn't working with the twlsavetool

 

If it worked before, does that mean you have a Platinum save in your SD card? Trying removing that and TWLSavetool can make a new one.

 

very awesome thank you

 

So I'm having an issue with this tool, and I'm sure I'm overlooking something.

I have Chrono Trigger and Pokemon SoulSilver backed up with this program, I have a ds flash cart I want to transfer my pokemon soul silver save to, and a Chrono Trigger save on the flash cart that I want to transfer to the retail cartridge. I dont own a nintendo ds, just a 3ds xl with cfw on it. I cant figure out how to transfer to the flash cart or away from it.

I've ftp'd into my 3ds and cant find the saves is there a folder I'm overlooking?

Thanks in advance

 

You can rename saves to the name used by a different generation Pokemon game, however I'm not sure different-language games can read foreign saves - it should be true for non-Japanese or Korean gen 4 ones, in any case trying is free
