- A 3DS with CFW that can install cias
- The Guardian Signs Mission Injector tool
- TWLSaveTool installed on your 3DS

2. Extracting the save :
- Insert your game on the 3DS (I'm using Guardian Signs for this tutorial)
- Launch TWLSaveTool, and then press B to backup the save file
- Insert your 3DS SD Card on your computer or use the microSD Management
- Go in the TWLSaveTool folder, and copy the file "POKE RANGER2.0.sav":
- Paste the save file on the folder of the Guardian Signs Mission Injector tool and rename it to "PRSA.sav" (without quotes):
- Launch "Mission Injector.exe", type "PRSA" (without quotes):
- Close the window and go back to the Mission Injector folder
- You have now a new file called "PRSA-WiFi.sav", but it's a 512KB file and TWLSaveTool will not accept it, we need to divide in two 256KB files
3. Dividing the file
- Launch HxD and open the file
- Go to Extras > File tools > Split
- In the "Base name for partial files (incl. path):" section, click the "..." button and choose where to save the file, name the file "POKE RANGER2.0.sav" (without quotes)
- In the "Size of partial files" section, make sure "User defined" and "KB" are selected and type 256, like in the picture:
- You can now close HxD
- In the folder you selected to split files, you have now two files :
For Shadow of Almia:
- Delete the "POKE RANGER2.0.sav2" file and rename the "POKE RANGER2.0.sav1" to "POKE RANGER2.0.sav"
4. Reinjecting the file
- Backup the "POKE RANGER2.0.sav" file in the TWLSaveTool folder of your SD Card to a safe place
- Take your new "POKE RANGER2.0.sav" file and copy it to the TWLSaveTool folder of your SD Card, overwriting the existing one /!\ DOUBLE-CHECK THAT YOU'VE DONE THE BACKUP /!\
- Eject your SD Card and insert it on your 3DS/quit the microSD Management app
- Launch TWLSaveTool on your 3DS, then press the A button to restore the save file
- Quit TWLSaveTool and then launch your game
- You have now the missions on the game in the Ranger Net > Downloaded Missions
5. Enjoy !
