Hacking 3DS Savegame Requests thread

[juins]

I have a Datel 3DS Powersaves device, saves for games are in BIN format. Anyone have saves for Zelda ALBW with that device? I could also post my saves for other games if you guys want too.

isnt there any way to convert them to sav format?

im not sure they would work tho, because i imagine they are from games that are not scene releases, all of us are using them same rom dump, so thats why we can share savegames between us

Gateway!

do u have any of the other savegames i mentioned above?

I am not sure how to convert powersave bin to save format...

Here is my save for Zelda ALBW US format just after obtaining Master Sword. From Datel Powersaves 3DS in BIN format. Hope it helps somehow

No sorry!

I merged the two Save requests threads together, and put a link in the NOOB PARADISE stickied thread.
You are encouraged to post your saves on filetrip too, more users will find them.

Ho

That is amazing, thank you Energizing - it works!

I also stumbled upon a save just at the start with 130 villagers - attached. It is in Japanese but language can be changed from the config menu.

How do i use the savegame using gateway?

1. play a different game, not the one you want to import the save.
If you play the same game, it will keep the internal save instead of importing your new save file, and will overwrite the save file when you exit your game.

2. put the save file on your SD card:
SD:/gameID.sav

3. put the game you want to import save into flashcart.

4. Launch the game, it will import the save file to the flashcart's internal save chipset.



Gateway team said they are working on a direct save file access, so in future releases you will probably won't have to worry about the "last played game", or "exit using Home/X", as it will automatically access the file instead of the chipset.

Should I and others post 3DS Powersaves save files?

I would like to request a complete save for Zelda ALBW to transfer with my 3DS Powersaves device, saves for device are in BIN format. Can share my saves too if you guys want.

Are they interchangeable between flashcards? i would imagine so...
Also, if a future exploit is available, will the savegames from our flashcards work with future rom loading? i even went as far as to download roms specifically for my region, so that in case something is released i can easily use my USA savegame for my USA rom and play with other ppl for example. OR, maybe online play will need your rom/3ds to be region matched.

Also, i think it would be good if this could be a kind of savegame thread. Just upload your savegame and specify for which release its for.

Im personally looking savegames for these games.. (already beat them on cartridge, too lazy to do again)
- New Super Mario bros 2 **(USA)
- Super Mario 3D Land **(USA)
- Starfox 64 3D *(USA)
- Mario Kart 7 **(USA)

If ANYONE has a savefile for any of these, please upload? thank u in advance

I understand savegames have to be RELEASE-SPECIFIC. You cant just have a savegame for a EUR zelda for example and just rename it to the filename of a USA zelda savegame. It just doesnt work.

EDIT: Here are the 2 savegames i have atm. i can upload more when i clear more games. The .sav file goes to the ROOT of the 3DS SD Card. Remember to backup any savegames you originally have on your SD card before hand.

I played these on 3DSLink. Can anyone confirm they work on gateway and/or other flashcarts too?

I was hoping to use your Zelda save, but 3DS powersaves are in BIN format. Would you know how to convert?

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

It should be interchangable by just renaming them to the correct names and extensions you need. The file name is just a container for the dump data.

Here is my Super Mario 3D Land save in Datel's Powersave BIN format, game is 100% complete

It should be interchangable by just renaming them to the correct names and extensions you need. The file name is just a container for the dump data.

I tried renaming it, but it would not upload to my game card through my Powersaves device

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

Is the powersave adding a header data to the saves?

 

[Skeet1983]

What do you mean? I have no idea.

Does anyone have Powersaves 3DS and Zelda ALBW?

 

[Nurio]

It seems like Powersaves creates a .bin file of 128 kB whereas Gateway always defaults to 512kB. At least, I think it does.
That might be the problem.

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

After comparing your zelda save to the one I put on filetrip, powersaves put a header to the save dumps.

Spoiler

That means you will not be able to use anyone's saves unless they dump it with a powersave device as well.

 

[Skeet1983]

Darn

After comparing your zelda save to the one I put on filetrip, powersaves put a header to the save dumps.

Spoiler

So, can anything be done to convert between the formats or anything?

Would like to help with sharing saves I have

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

If you got a gateway you can put the save on the red card and then try and dump the save with the powersave. Currently there is no save converter atm.

I put my zelda save on filetrip if you want to take a whack at it:

Can I still get a Gateway if my firmware is 6.3.0-12U?

you need the gateway app to write the save to the red cart, that means you need a 3DS with 4.5 or lower.

skeet, please use the edit button to add text to your last post if nobody replied after you.
Stop making 4 posts with 5 words each. This is not a chat room, there is IRC for that.
Thank you.

I don't know if Powersave files are sharable among consoles.
Did you try someone else's save file?

This thread was first meant to share Gateway/R4i save files, as they are compatible between consoles.
There's another thread (where you posted a lot of times) about the power save tool, but you didn't had any definitive answers about sharing ability. I hope you'll get more answers and can share saves for your tool.

how_do_i_do_that:
Thanks for sharing saves on filetrip and explaining its content

... You have 5 bottles?
Damn, I have only 4, I thought I had all items because there were 4 in ALTP too.
I met a goron who gave me money. would he gave me hearts container if I was nice?
He is angry at me now... I hope I didn't lose my chance to get one.

Empty space in inventory is for the light bow you get from Zelda for last boss fight.
