Switch Gift Data Manager - Import wondercards into Switch games by faking BCAT packages

[Day.9]

Ok, thanks for your help。

So do you need a computer to do all this or can you complete it on the switch just by itself.

Can I only edit with a hex editor?

The wonder record block for SV is not documented.

You can extract the block with PKHeX and use an Hex editor to try editings, than import it back to the save file.

Still, as said you'll not find resources or guides to that.

The solution has been explored, but the specific editing method is not clear, because there is no comparison table, and I have no research on hexadecimal, so I can only use the stupid "comparison method" to explore

As said, there's no documentation. You'll have to compare values before and after wondercards redemption, and/or try to edit the values and see what changes in game.

If you'll figure it out, consider making a post for others with the same issue

Obviously, by deletion is the most straightforward solution, If you want to edit the time, please refer to

 

But this should be enough, after deleting, you can combine "Switch-time" and "Switch Gift Data Manager" to "organize" your "gifts"

Of course, it is also possible to sort out the order by swapping the positions of these "rows".

Hi, I'm trying to download the BCAT file but it's not working.
Let me explain better, the Pokémon Violet game icon appears but when I try to create a save file BCAT tells me that my save is empty even though the game save is present...
How can I solve it?

Connect the game online, and use the mystery gift / poke portal news option at least once. BCAT will be initialized this way.

Hello, thank you for your contribution. We have received a lot of help here. Could you please answer one of my doubts? Can I change the order of receiving mysterious gifts? My account received some official letters for 2022 before, and now when I use the plug-in to receive fake gifts from 2021, there is a problem in the order of receiving, is there any way to solve it? Please forgive me for my poor English

You can refer to:https://projectpokemon.org/home/forums/topic/65520-about-the-mystery-gift-data-block/

When doing this, I made a mistake and deleted the original BCAT backup. Now, when I check the list of available mystery gifts under "Get via Internet", there's always an option. How do I get it so that it can be blank again? When I transfer my save file to my non-hacked switch, this resolves the issue on that switch, but when I transfer back to my hacked switch, it reverts back to the issue. Does the daily BCAT synch resolve this?

Check the bottom of the guide to see how to reset the BCAT data with JKSV.

Anyways, if you see the Mythical Pecha Berry on the Mystery Gift it's normal. It's the standard gift you should see.

By the way (and I should have said something earlier, sorry for not doing so), I actually resolved the issue just by accessing the recycle bin via my laptop and recovering the original BCAT file.

No guarantees, all at your own risk, but: if you didn’t pirate, no custom themes, didn’t do anything sketch or fishy, and didn’t wipe your console specific details then it shouldn’t be an issue.

I’ve been using CFW on Sysnand (not even Emunand) for years, no problemo, not banned. I have NSO and use online services. 

There’s various resources about what you do if you’ll like to use Nintendo servers, check those.

i though using cfw on sysnand isn't recommended since you lose access to online and stuff

You don't lose online on SysNand CFW. Online features works just fine on SysNand CFW. You can do everything you do on vanilla.

EmuNand online is the only real issue and what you should always keep offline. Nintendo can see mismatching logs between sysnand and emunand if you have both of them online. Nintendo can also see any nsp/xci certs installed in any nand, and assume piracy, hence a ban.

If you only have SysNand CFW and no installed nsp/xci you can go online safely. That's what most of us do.

@Pokemonfan6498 what Skylink said. In this day of age there isn’t much of a reason for EmuNAND to be used, if you’re doing legitimate things, or very minor things (like homebrew via launcher). I personally just use homebrew via launching it in gallery (so not even installed onto my home menu).

The problem is when the server log 2 different device states; this can happen when you accidentally go online on an updated EmuNAND, then switch back to SysCFW or SysNAND. 
 

Anyhow, to go back on the topic on hand, I have used this tool to give myself gifts. I use SysCFW. I go online. It’s been years with no problem. If we put this tool aside, people use Sysbot onto their Switch and allow their various Discord servers to take control of it (trading, genning etc). If going online with CFW was such a problem, those people would have all gotten ban, and there’ll be no sysbot left..

that's one issue the other issue is that even if i own game legally i still can't get save data from sysnand because it's not stored on cartridge

Switch always stores save files internally, not on cartridges. Homebrews like JKSV can backup saves. This is not related to Switch Gift Data Manager though, if you have questions on CFW/Online/Save Managers, please open another thread on the appropriate section.

Hi, I just injected Mew from the 'WC #1521 - Pokémon Presents Mew', I claimed it, and everything went perfectly. But now, if I try to claim it again from the internet, it still shows up to be claimed... I'm absolutely sure this is way too suspicious, and I don't want to take any more risks than necessary. How can I delete that 'Wondercard' from my game?

Thanks
