Homebrew SD Card issues

[Melissa67_]

Hey everyone,

I've been cracking my brains trying to solve this, but I just don't know what to do.
I own a Nintendo 3DS XL and I use an R4i Gold Card. I also use Homebrew.
I love playing Animal Crossing New Leaf and I've been dying to try the New Leaf Save Editor, however, I can not find my save file. In fact, everything that is on the FBI menu, is not found in my actual sd card. I need the garden.dat file on my card, but I can not find it. I have opened all the files, by the way.
Does anybody know what the problem is?

FBI looks at the SD Card in the console. You need to put the SD Card from the 3DS into the computer, not the one in your flashcart.

That's exactly what I did though.

What did you use to backup the save?

What did you use to backup the save?

I used Checkpoint.

The SD you're using on the computer is the R4i one. You have to use the console's one.

It should be in /3ds/Checkpoint/<Your Game Name Here>

Omg I'm so stupid. I didn't even realize I had this! Thank you so much. You just saved me a lot of time.
