Hello everyone.

Today I modded my friend's 3ds via the DSiWare exploit and something happened.
We thought the Monster Hunter Generations savegame was put into the cartridge just like the MH4U one, but seems like it's not the case ( for some f* reasons, thanks nintendo ), thankfully I backed up all of my friend's nintendo 3DS folder from the SD Card and now I have the correct encrypted save with me, the thing is that I cannot just replace it with the new one because it will say " The savegame is corrupted ", since on the nintendo 3ds folder from the SD there are now TWO different IDs, the one from the previous firmware and the new one

so the root at the moment is like

- Nintendo 3DS
| - 8e4f59f3bd0b93a528c02cf884abd02a ( new folder with wrong savegame )
| - 01884068a9abf56680e668da7c9a90d6 ( old folder with correct savegame )
| -- 9a9900eb4707bcd0534530340002544d
| --- dbs
| --- extdata
| ---- 00000000
| ----- 0000185b
| ------ 00000000
| ------- FILES called 00000001, 00000002, 00000003, 00000004, WITH NO EXTENSION.
| - title
| - Private

Is there a way to decrypt those files so we can import them back and play again with the same savegames? it would be a shame to lose 120 hours :\

edit: sadly gbatemp's forum reformatted the whole post, but i think you can get how it is structured

If the nands are unlinked = use different folders, they also use different encryption keys, so you can't read the old save this way

You would need a nand backup from before the folder name changed!!

    Dunno. Really. He didn’t actually sent the whole folder itself but they were like 4-5 rather explicit pictures
  • bendevnull @ bendevnull:
    That's still bad, but I was thinking like nearly a gigabyte's worth
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    No lol bad wording from my part
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    He was about to though lol
  • bendevnull @ bendevnull:
    That link that was sent though; the innuendos are pretty far stretches toward the end lol
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    from what he said at least lol
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Yeah rofl
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    These kind of sexual innuendos aren’t that common nowadays in stuff aimed at kids
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Probably because of the internet imho, no way they’d be able to get away with stuff like this now lol
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    they still are
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    in nintendo games you will find them
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Wait really?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    some of the examples were from botw
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:

  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:

  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:

  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I was playing with my cousin soon aftr it came out (great coop game, really) and we noticed some sus stuff
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Huh cool lol
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    I don’t play many coop games, mainly because I don’t have people to play with lol
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    One of the reasons I could never get into fighting games
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    You either play with your buddies or play like online competitive stuff, and actually learning to play fighting games on a good level is hard af and training your reflexes is a slog
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    just play the campaign
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Hm, it makes sense but imho fighting games are something that you just pick up and play
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Most games I play are jrpgs and visual novels so if I play something else is to just play without worrying about campaigns story and such
