Homebrew [Release][WIP] 3DSync

[Deleted member 446461]

Is there JKSM support for this program yet?

Uploaded a new release on github!
0.2.0 brings JKSM support and even custom paths. Configurator is updated to generate a new config file, so if you were a previous 3DSync user you should regenerate your file.

Thank you! Excellent work. Hope it continues to mature.

This looks very promising. Is it possible to directly sync two consoles?

It works well and saves you a lot of time, extracting the SD every time you need to backup something is very annoying in this model.
It would be great that in the future a restore option from Cloud -> 3DS is implemented, so multiple systems can share the save data, even an user system that swaps folders could be made. Anyway, anywhere this evolves into is very welcome, so far is very useful, thank you so much!

A quick question: If I re-do the upload process, does the old save files get overwritten or renamed to keep both? Normally I backup my saves with the date as file name to avoid stupid data loss if I do a mistake.

Currently it does overwrite with the new ones. A warning prompt like "Do you want to overwrite xyz? Yes/No/All" is on the list

I'm taking my time to correctly design and implement this, because no one want their 3DS saves getting corrupted by a network loss right?

Awesome to hear, thanks.

You could make the app to do a temporary local backup just in case something fails, so it gets restored back on error, or gets deleted if successful.

I'm trying to download the config file but when I click the download button nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong?

Try another browser, I had this problem with Chrome.

Thank you that seemed to be the problem. Used firefox and it worked!

it can currently only upload

Does this literally mean it only does uploading at the moment and not actually sync? By sync I mean if the one uploaded at Dropbox is more recent, it will download and if the one on the 3DS is more recent it will upload?

EDIT: Okay I read the comments and I figured out that save restore is still not implemented. But thanks! Looking forward to more updates!

The 3dsync ini file is not generated by the website. I've tried a bunch of times.

Hey I tried accessing this today and it seems like the server for the configurator is down.

Tried on Chrome and Firefox on mobile. Any tips?

Nice!

The 3dsync.ini generator website seems to be down, according to https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/gianmarcorandazzo.it

Indeed, the generator website still appears to be down. Could someone please open their 3dsync.ini file in Notepad and paste the contents here after removing the identifying information? It should be possible to guess what is required from there.

Is this project dead? My SD card corrupted and I need a way to backup saves to GDrive.

I just noticed the configurator page is at https://kyraminol.github.io/3DSync/ now.

For the record, 3dsync.ini contains:

[Dropbox]
Token=gibbersihgibberishgibberish
[Paths]
Checkpoint=/3ds/Checkpoint

I assume there's some way to generate a token by other means if necessary, as in http://99rabbits.com/get-dropbox-access-token/ . Dropbox recognizes the app as "3DS Sync", with a space.
