Then as things stand, you won’t be able to extract your saves sadly. Wait for your Switch to become hackable

yeah that's the issue right there. - even when illegitimately obtained, those dex entries won't show the QR code - hacked variant of such QR codes were never made - as they weren't intended to be revealed, such shiny Ga-Ole QR doesn't exist. There pretty much isn't any options at the moment.. don't know what you meant be 'exception', but there are ways around the region locking without hacking. Simply get someone with a JP 3DS to scan them, then transfer from your Bank to your HOME. You can do coded transfers from Bank to HOME, not just direct Nintendo account transfers. Also also, you can hack any 3DS. After you hack it (effectively jailbreak/install CFW), you can region change your device. Well he's onto bigger things now, so I doubt he's even aware that people are curious. I could try asking him, but I'm not sure if he'll even respond frankly >< No worries!

Edit: For context, the page that is being discussed is linked here. Legitimately, you can only get QR codes from a Pokédex of someone that owns said shiny. Since the given mon is shiny locked, no one can legitimately have the QR code, thus a shiny dex entry would be illegal. Ninty/GF probably don't care. Probably. Tho it isn't new for them to restrict people's access due to illegitimate dex entries; back in Gen 4, before the Arceus event, anyone with Arceus dex entry could not get onto the GTS. The game does not generate QR codes for certain UB/legendaries, as you've explained. As for why the game can't be bypassed to generate them, I simply don't know. The game reads Gen 7 UB/legendary QRs just fine. If you could get your game to run in JP 3DS, you'll see that it can scan these: https://projectpokemon.org/home/gallery/album/809-special-pokémon-jp-consoles-only/ Not sure you'll ever hear a positive response relating to this. As far as I know, only one guy made it, and no one else seemed to have cracked the code (publicly), and I've not heard anything about these. Also, interest has died down so I'm unsure we'll hear anything about this Also I think converting the QR to hex then back won't work. I believe it needs some kind of decryption and encryption so can't make them via simple hex editing. Edit: Info I could find related to signing the QR.

Install CFW on your device. Install a save manager on your device. There’s no website out there to convert this kind of ‘save’ for you. For 3DS/Switch, any save you just rip out of your SD card without using a save manager, would be encrypted and not usable.

Because it’s not. Extract your save with a save importer/exporter

Piracy is a no-no.

Roamers in RS and FRLG cannot have perfect IVs. Read here (under Ruby Sapphire FireRed LeafGreen)

Did you give the appropriate TM relearn flag?

Trade it via 3DS VC, instead of using a combination of emulators and PKHeX. (it sounds like an issue I experienced in the past)

No worries. You won't necessarily have to delete the game update, just modify the code.bin from the update instead (I have steps for that too)

do you have a game update installed?

@Jmscheuer follow the instructions as per the last step, and make sure it is named code.bin

open it in HxD and try finding the pointer edit: also, try moving those commands around based on what you see in the ctrtool response.

what game are you playing?

I dumped for me.. Anyhow, try extracting .code.bin from the exefs in GodMode9, as opposed to copying the exefs.bin I just tested on Pokemon Moon, ignored all the ctrtool steps.

So I had to extract my own to test it, as of now, try this: ctrtool -t exefs --decompresscode --exefsdir=exefs exefs.bin Edit, also, it appears extracting the .code.bin from the exefs in GodMode9 would work too.

@Jmscheuer I'm assuming the previous one gave you not enough arguments. Try this ctrtool -t exefs --exefsdir=exefs --decompresscode exefs.bin

Now, what does it say if you paste this? ctrtool -t exefs --exefsdir=exefs exefs.bin --decompresscode

space. you need a space between cd and <directory name>

cd <the directory containing your ctrtool> Open your folder, click the hotbar once, and it should chance to C:\Users\...etc... Now copy that, and paste is after the cd Also when possible, use the snipping tool or a screenshot. Better than a photo from your phone.

okay let's try to do this manually then. Go to your Windows > Run > CMD > Right click on Program, run as administrator. Then cd <your current directory> You should notice the command line change to the current folder If you type ctrtool and hit enter, you should get the entire spiel of "not enough arguments" as seen earlier. Lemme know when you reach there

@Jmscheuer can you use the printscreen function on your keyboard, or alternatively the snipping tool loaded into modern Windows computer, and show me a screenshot of the contents of your files in your folder?
