I can take a look if your game progress is intact, so send whatever it is that you find.
(Most) physical games don't make their saves on SD card. Depending if your save file hasn't been overwritten from previous bad restores, you can try pulling the AC:NL save out of the cart with SaveDataFiler (find this app yourself) if JKSM and Checkpoint did not work.
Perhaps switch over to using digital copy of the game when you restore it.
Hey there, I'm getting into this thread cause I'm DESPERATE for help! And I think this is the only place I can get it, so I'm please begging for some assistance, I'm also trying to restore an ACNL:WA save file, and I've got all requirred files, here's my situation:
- Got a 200+ hrs savefile from ACNLWA game that I played in a N3DS that got accidentally sinked in deep water, that N3DS is hardbricked but I could manage to extract the 00000001.sav from its SD card following the steps from this thread. (from the 00040000
00198E00 folder in the SD card, US region)
- Bought a ACNLWA cartridge brand new, my goal is to transfer said savefile (the one with 200+ hours) to this new cartridge.
- I have homebrew launcher in my other 3ds and several Save manager apps through boot9strap, works perfectly and I could even manage to install ACNLWA on it with the previously mentioned save, but it keeps saying
that the Save file is corrupted
- no choice but promting to delete it, and when I try to backup the -corrupt- save data through JKSV or Checkpoint, it displays that it can't access the save file location, so no success on it however I try.
- I keep the encrypted (I think it is, sorry for the ignorance) save and also a new save file extracted to try the secure value thing but I have no idea how to do it (the secure value should be on the garden.dat but the encrypted save is in .sav format and I just don't know what the hell to do, I have HxD editor as well.
Please help, I'm uploading the encrypted save, and I can extend any other file if needed. I'll be checking this thread often. Thanks in advance and sorry if bad english, not my main language.
