Get ANY OFFICIAL badges without other users' data
Introduction
This thread will guide you through on how to get ANY OFFICIAL badge you could possible think of, and also how to group each badge into sets!Setup
Before starting, you will need a few things:- Nintendo Badge Arcade. (optional)
- A 3DS system with CFW (Preferably with Boot9strap)
- GodMode9 v1.2.7 (Read the "Quick start guide". aeskeydb.bin, seeddb.bin and encTitlekeys.bin are not needed)
- A Tool Pack I made for this guide
- Nintendo Badge Arcade's latest update installed or as CIA. (optional)
- An SD card reader
Get the official badge data and get the arm9 bootrom file
This is the first thing you will need to do if you want to get anything at all.- Boot your 3DS while holding Start + Select + X. (you need to stop holding them if you want to boot normally)
- Turn your 3DS off.
- Un-zip the Tool Pack.zip you downloaded.
- Run "download data.bat" and select the data you want to download. (the data will be downloaded to the "gm9" folder)
- If you want every single badge, then download the Japanese badge data. (They have all the badges -.-)
- Insert your 3DS's SD card in your computer.
- Copy the boot9.bin file from the boot9strap folder on the root of your SD card to the Tool Pack folder.
- Copy the gm9 folder from the Tool Pack folder to the root of your SD card.
- Insert your SD card back in your 3DS and boot your 3DS while holding Start.
- If you have the CIA file of the latest Nintendo Badge Arcade update:
- Make sure the CIA file is inside the gm9 folder (on your SD card) and that it's named NBA Update [REGION].cia (replace [REGION] with the region of the CIA)
- Boot your 3DS while holding start to launch GodMode9
- Press the Home button
- Select the following options: More... > Scripts... > BadgeData CIA [REGION] (select the one with the region of the CIA)
- Make sure the CIA file is inside the gm9 folder (on your SD card) and that it's named NBA Update [REGION].cia (replace [REGION] with the region of the CIA)
- If you have the latest Nintendo Badge Arcade update installed:
- Boot your 3DS while holding start to launch GodMode9
- Press the Home button
- Select the following options: More... > Scripts... > BadgeData Title [REGION] (select the one with the region of the installed title, usually the region of your console)
- Turn off your 3DS by holding R + Start.
- Insert your 3DS's SD card back into your computer.
Extract and decompress the compressed badges and sets
Now that you have the encrypted boss files (allbadge_[VERSION]_[REGION].dat) (and optionally, the badge_data_[REGION].sarc, which isn't BOSS encrypted), you will have to decrypt the boss encrypted files and extract the badges and sets within them:- Move the badge_data_[REGION].sarc (if you have it) file from the gm9 folder on your SD card to the Tool Pack folder on your computer.
- Run the extract badge data.bat batch file inside Tool Pack
- You should now have all of the badge data!
- Additional information:
- The badge data was extracted to the decompressed folder.
- The badges and set files are located in their respective set folder.
- This Pastebin has the names of all of the sets you can get from the European and American data (The Japanese data has more badges and sets)
- The badge data was extracted to the decompressed folder.
Edit it your own badge data (for the users that have badges, either from Nintendo Badge Arcade or customized)
Now that you have the decompressed badges and sets, you might want to add some to your own badge data. But first, you will need to extract it...- Insert your SD card back in your 3DS and boot it up normally.
- Launch FBI
- Go to TitleDB and look for Simple Badge Injector. Install it.
- If for some reason you can't install it, then install it with the SimpleBadgeInjector.cia inside of the Tool Pack folder.
- Exit FBI
- Launch Simple Badge Injector
- Select the Dump badge data option, and wait...
- Exit the app
- Shutdown your 3DS and insert the SD card back into your computer.
- Inside of the Tool Pack, open Advanced badge editor
- Select File > Open data. Next, browse for your badge files folder (Select This PC > <Your SD card> > Dumped Badge Files)
- Repeat the following steps to add new sets:
- Select Import > Entire set data (*.prb and *.cab)
- Open the decompressed folder and choose a set folder.
- Select the set file inside of the set folder.
- Select all of the badges inside of that set folder.
- You can give yourself 255 of each badge by clicking the 255 of each badge button
- Select File > Save data to... and navigate to the root of your SD card and create a new folder called Badge Files (if it doesn't exist). Select it and click ok
- Close Advanced badge editor and insert your SD card back into your 3DS
- Boot your 3DS.
- Launch Simple Badge Injector
- Select the Inject custom badge data option, and wait...
- Exit the app
- Enjoy your new badges
Create badge data (for the users that never used Nintendo Badge Arcade and don't have badges)
This will let you create your own badge data without needing Nintendo Badge Arcade- Inside of the Tool Pack, open Advanced badge editor
- Next, select File > New Data. You will now have to find your NNID if you want your badge data to work (which is explained here).
- Insert your SD card back in your 3DS and boot it up normally.
- Launch FBI
- Go to TitleDB and look for Simple Badge Injector. Install it.
- If for some reason you can't install it, then install it with the SimpleBadgeInjector.cia inside of the Tool Pack folder.
- Exit FBI
- Launch Simple Badge Injector
- Copy the NNID number that is displayed on your 3DS to the NNID box in the Advanced badge editor application.
- Exit the Simple Badge Injector app
- Shutdown your 3DS and insert the SD card back into your computer.
- Repeat the following steps to add new sets:
- Select Import > Entire set data (*.prb and *.cab)
- Open the decompressed folder and choose a set folder.
- Select the set file inside of the set folder.
- Select all of the badges inside of that set folder.
- You can give yourself 255 of each badge by clicking the 255 of each badge button
- Select File > Save data and navigate to the root of your SD card and create a new folder called Badge Files (if it doesn't exist). Select it and click "Ok"
- Close Advanced badge editor and insert your SD card back into your 3DS
- Boot your 3DS.
- Launch Simple Badge Injector
- Select the Create ExtData archive 0x14D1 option, and wait...
- Select the Inject custom badge data option, and wait...

Help
Have any questions? Just ask me, and I will try to answer them =)You cannot get banned by getting official badges this way (at least I don't think having them effects you in any way, I might be wrong though). If you get banned, that might be because you were caught using unauthorized software, in which case I recommend you use Luma3DS's (if you have it of course) "masking" feature to load Homebrew Launcher with a system application and also using the 3DSX version of the "Simple Badge Injector". (you need to patch the "SM" process using Rosalina (if you have Luma3DS) if you want to know what your NNID is).
Oh, and I discovered that you can only place up to 360 badges, and no more, on the Home Menu (with folders included)...
If you have succeeded in getting any badge you wanted, then take a screenshot and share it here =P (Just for fun)
I hope this isn't illegal -.-
