[NinFanBoyFTW]

This tutorial will show you how and where to access your save files while using a 3DS emulator. This guide will cover the most popular emulator for running 3DS games: Citra (Computer). This guide assumes that you have already set up and played one of these emulators at least once.

This is not a setup guide. This guide is meant to show where to find or inject your save files.

Citra: 

1. Open up Citra.

2. Right click on your desired game. Then click on "Open Save Data Location"

3.Inside this folder will be your save file.

4. MAKE A BACKUP OF THIS FILE BEFORE USING OR EDITING IT WITH ANY SAVE EDITORS.
