A tool to backup HG/SS saves

[POKEMONMASTER260]

Yes, it does work.
...Well, at least it does show the restore/save/reset screens, but I can't test it out since for whatever reason I can't connect to this network with my DS (and I'm stuck here for a week and a half). Good job! All DSTT owners will thank you.






YSMenu is compatible with DSTT and R4 and M3 (I think)... Yet you don't see this screen while you boot up your cart? http://i34.tinypic.com/k30m06.jpg

Either way, use vagonhawk's version and see if it works. It might be an obscure clone...

EDIT: Researching a bit more, it seems like either a legit R4 or a R4 clone based on R4. http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=51345 says you might need a program called r4crypt to encrypt the app. Try it.

1. I don't see that when I boot up the cart. 2. Vagonhawk's version does not work. 3. I'll try it! 4. Thank you!

Hello!

It's been some time, I just came once again to confirm that the latest savegame_manager worked flawlessly (both backing up AND restoring) on my retail Pokémon Black cart using the 3in1 mode.

However, I got an error whilst restoring (or so I thought because it actually restored my save) it stopped at 93% for some reason, so you may want to look into that.

That's pretty much it!

Bye!

Thank you for this Homebrew. It doesn't work at R4 sdhc, but I set wood R4 sdhc 1.13, it does work!!!!!
(I have Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heartgold, Soulsilver, Black, and White, Japanese version)

Works on french version of Black/White too ^^

is this the program I need to backup my save files from my retail cartridges of white/Soulsilver?


thanks


edit: also what do I do with the files inside? is the .nds file the one that needs to be used? I don't know what to do with it and I haven't found a guide yet that explains how to use these things.

.nds is the rom itself (for use with non-retail cards like R4, Acekard, etc) and .sav should be the save files. This tool works with all DS games that I've tested (including those that use the newer IR cart like HGSS/BW, which this was specifically made for). This tool does not export .nds (rom) files to my knowledge, it is only for saves. The .sav should be compatible with Acekard for sure, and I believe most cards use similar files. I only speak for the Acekard 2i because it's the only one I own myself.

Well I ordered a DsTwo so I really don't know how to start off lol.

Could you possibly link me to a good step by step guide that can get me through the save file transferring from DS to PC? I think I read that there is a way to transfer it via wifi?

Or could you give me a step by step guide on how to dump the save?



Thanks

alright, still having problems getting my saves to back up. I know it's not a problem with the connection because i use NDS backup tool wifi to back up all my other games and saves via FTP.

I use a DStwo Supercard with firmware 1.08 and engine 1.10
using version 0.2.3 of this backup tool
i only have the .nds and .ini file in my root

i can connect to the AP but when it gets to connecting to the FTP it will fail, and eventually start repeating the word connect for 3 minutes before saying there is no FTP server.

You probably overlooked something in the FTP settings and you may need to change the Local IP address since it changes alot and you'll need to change it in the .ini file as well.

Oh my god...

You have no idea how long I've been looking for a tool that's capable of this!

I'm having a problem with just one game. I've backed up saves from every one of my NDS games, including my Pokemon White version. I've made the desired changes to the save and now I want to restore it to the card, except when I change cards between my DSTWO and the retail card, the savemanager crashes, and the Nintendo loads the game.

EDIT: I just got it to write to the game, except I'm still curious as to why it wouldn't before. I guess I just have to keep trying until it works from now on.

It only works on DSLites and phats apparently. I have to borrow my fiance's DS to do it. It has something to do with the way the DSi hardware deals with a change in the cart, it's not something the scope of this program is supposed to be capable of changing.

i run ipconfig before i try this everytime and my pc's local address hasn't changed yet 192.168.254.109
I also make sure that the username and password are correct for all the FTP servers i try using (test/test on 8080)
so far i've tried small FTP, filezilla, and xlite.

dose it still not work for the dsi eveon if at the top it says mode dsi/sd
