Or are you saying it's unable to open (I was just able to) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you saying it's unable to open (I was just able to) Well,before you just had to select "open" on PKHex,locate the file and click it-done. Now the actual Save.dat or whatever its called file isn't showing up. Hmm,Im off out in a second.Will have to try and drag/drop tomorrow! Will let you know:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you open it in Pkhex, in the opening window allowing you to browse in your PC, just change the file format category to "all files", and it will display your file in the appropriate folder ! But I've been wondering ... is saving it like that is enough to import it back into your 3DS console to replace your unedited save ??? Like no decryption methods to do before ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is ALWAYS something that needs to be done, even if you're sure about yourself. I corrupted one of my saves with the japanese save editor on 3DS, and I could restore it thankfully with a previous backup And same question as above, what software did you used for injecting ???

ReignOfComputer Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 If you're using SDF, make sure you clear the Secure Value. Also, when you're injecting back in the game, make sure your folder only has the sav.dat file. From past experience, having a sav.dat.bak in the same directory confused the game.

Heck, having anything extra in the folder will cause corruption, too. (it happened to me, when a sav.dat.bak was in the folder) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
