Poryhack Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Hey all, with HG and SS coming out in about a month now, this is a big question to me and probably many others who'd like to get saves to and from their retail HG/SS cards once they come out. As far as I know there are no DS homebrew apps to do the trick (which is a big bummer seeing as that's the free option). There is at least one device, which supposedly DOES work with these IR cards, that connects a DS game to a computer via USB to dump saves. So, is that it? I'm wondering if there are any other options that are escaped me. If not I suppose I will shell out for one of these pieces of hardware.
StudioTK Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 If you have a Slot-2 flash linker from the old days (think supercard lite and such) then rudolph's nds backup tool slot-2 is your best friend, otherwise he has other versions of the backup tool for wifi or ftp to suit your needs.
Eon-Rider Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 If you have a Slot-2 flash linker from the old days (think supercard lite and such) then rudolph's nds backup tool slot-2 is your best friend, otherwise he has other versions of the backup tool for wifi or ftp to suit your needs. You obviously don't realise the games can't be backed up with those tools.
Satetsu Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 You obviously don't realise the games can't be backed up with those tools. Can you explain why? I was thinking It is normally possible...
Poryhack Posted February 15, 2010 Author Posted February 15, 2010 What Eon-Rider said is correct. I'm not entirely sure myself but it's something to do with the new-model infrared cards that HG/SS use. It's probably possible to use a flashcard app, but none exists as of now. Guess with only a few IR-enabled games on the market there just isn't that much interest.
codemonkey85 Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 You guys don't realize that the game card architecture is rather different for HGSS, as compared to previous NDS Pokémon games? 'Cause it is. And as a result, the methods for backing up retail saves that worked before do not work with the new carts. Don'tcha think Poryhack would not have started this thread if they did work? From this post forward, any posts that refer back to old methods of save-backing that don't work will just be deleted. EDIT: Guess with only a few IR-enabled games on the market there just isn't that much interest. I find that a bit odd considering how immensely popular HGSS is / was. But then again, perhaps someone will pick up the pace once the US versions are released and a ton more people have the actual hardware in their hands.
TheHalfBloodPrince Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Wait, so there is no way possible to yet?
Poryhack Posted February 16, 2010 Author Posted February 16, 2010 It can be done, but only with an NDS Adapter Plus, a little USB dongle that has a NDS card slot.
TheHalfBloodPrince Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 It can be done, but only with an NDS Adapter Plus, a little USB dongle that has a NDS card slot. This?
ZMaster Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Awww, that relatively sucks =/ I wanted to back up the save immediately after I get it... Does Rudolph's tool straight out doesn't work? Or is the extracted *.sav all fragmented or something? However, what about inputting saves?
Poryhack Posted March 12, 2010 Author Posted March 12, 2010 Nothing works in the slightest except for the NDS Adapter.
ZMaster Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Bah, I guess all we can do now is wait 2 weeks or so for a hero or have this issue unsolved forever.
kingstone Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 have anyone tried action replay media edition or action replay dsi? got media edition but i haven`t bought the game yet.
Gie92 Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 i have this : http://www.kickgaming.com/tools-repair-adapter-save-p-409.html but i am having problems backing it up... the files ends up being 1MB and i cant open it with pokesav?
nathanmcnutt Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 have anyone tried action replay media edition or action replay dsi?got media edition but i haven`t bought the game yet. ARDS Media Edition does not work I just tried it out.
ZMaster Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 I think nothing is going to work Until the ultimate hero appears and solves this problem in one fell swoop. Could anyone explain to me why Rudolph doesn't/won't ever update anymore?
Poryhack Posted March 15, 2010 Author Posted March 15, 2010 i have this : http://www.kickgaming.com/tools-repair-adapter-save-p-409.htmlbut i am having problems backing it up... the files ends up being 1MB and i cant open it with pokesav? You need the NDS Adapter Plus. That model is not compatible. Lam, but that's the way it is.
ZMaster Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Is it possible to get it at a store? I'm unable to buy things online Btw, does the adapter allow restoring the sav as well?
Poryhack Posted March 16, 2010 Author Posted March 16, 2010 It does backup and restore. I doubt you'd be able to find it in a store. It's one of those obscure Chinese products that's only sold out of Hong Kong.
Noxe Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Long time lurker, first time poster. I felt I had something nice to contribute to this thread so I posted. I found a US/Canadian company with the adapter +s. Should make it a bit easier to obtain for some people. http://www.consolesource.com/ecomm/catalog/NDS-Backup-Adapter-Plus-p-3018.html
