Your sarcasm detector is broken.

You literally just copy it with a save manager (and delete the SecureValue if there is one, from my understanding). If you don't have homebrew or CFW, you're out of luck.

Someone please let Kaphotics know that PKHeX is a dumb idea and that he should have a fully-working ARM9 hack on 11.2 yesterday.

It's working for me but I usually have to try it a few times to get it to work, and once, my 3DS completely froze. I found that I had more success when I cleared my history and cookies before each use, but normally, you shouldn't have to do that every single time. Even then, it wasn't guaranteed to work. I'm going to try the alternative links. I still deeply regret upgrading to 9.4. At the time, I couldn't afford a Gateway (still can't right now, actually) and I got impatient with wanting to check out sales and what-not on the eShop, plus get updates. I believe I took the dive on 9.4 about a week before the Gateway update was released, and then the floodgates opened. I am so stupid. I wouldn't even need a Gateway now. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Just tried this and it works. Of note, the portal for Lugia (or vice-versa if doing it the other way around) is still visible in Sea Mauville. Why they can't just give us access to both pieces of music, I'll never know. It's stupid the way they did it.

One would think so. I sure hope so. Theoretically, you could just activate a flag to enable it, but whether it's actually in the code or not, I'm not sure.

Wait, they seriously updated X and Y? I highly doubt they'll remove Pokemon, but I'm still curious to know what they changed. Nintendo have to be one of the vaguest companies when it comes to changelogs. I mean, what the hell does "a more fun gaming experience" mean? I assume it just means "we stopped some hackers; that'll show 'em".

They DO let you back it up (well, the physical cartridges to digital format, anyway). It's just not super-simple i.e. you can't technically restore the save. If you have a digital version, if I remember correctly, you should still be able to take the save off the SD card and XOR it. I do recommend not to buy digital 3DS games, anyway, but that's my personal opinion (that they are crap digitally).

I'm still trying work out the fine details for fixing corrupt data myself, since I had it happen on Alpha Sapphire, but if you look up the instructions on this site for decrypting a Powersaves backup for viewing in PKHeX, you can at the very least recover your data. Reinjecting it is what I can't seem to do without it freezing, and hopefully someone like SciresM will have some information on that. To make the keystream file, you'll need to delete your corrupted save (hold Up + B + X when the game is booting) then get to the main menu (you don't have to start a new game. One the professor shows up, you can quit). Before you delete your corrupted save, though, make sure to back it up with Powersaves. Yes, unfortunately you'll need to buy Powersaves (RAM2Sav is nothing like Powersaves, FYI), but it's much cheaper than buying a Gateway (which can't be used on 9.3 or 9.4, for the record). When told to XOR the files, make sure you use the Pokemon Save Decrypter that has been posted on this site. Regular XOR tools won't work. Then you should be able to open your Y save in PKHeX. Start a new game on Y and get to the point where you can save. Do so, and then you can start injecting stuff. As I said before, though, injecting a corrupted save, even if you've successfully got it in PKHeX, is currently beyond me. I'm sure it's possible with some tweaking, but I don't know what needs tweaking. Hopefully this can be figured out so there's a fairly reliable method to recover corrupted saves in the future. RAM2Sav allows you to edit the RAM values (changes what's currently stored temporarily, essentially), then when you save the game, the changes are written back to the game (since the RAM is in the 3DS, not the game - if you reset without saving, the changes are gone, since the RAM will be cleared). Powersaves is currently the most reliable backup method (or Cyber Gadget, if you have a Japanese game). Doing what I described, you can actually open up both save files next to each other and copy everything manually over. However, to make your new save identical to your corrupted one, it will take a lot of time and effort. It is doable, however. Just a pain in the ass.

Japanese support would be nice. No one is yet to make a gen 1 or gen 2 editor that supports Japanese games, as far as I know. In case you find it helpful, here's a random save from my Japanese Pokemon Red. I can upload more Japanese saves from gen 1 and 2 if that'd help. red.sav

On top of that, Datel (the guys who actually make Powersaves) have a code request form on their website: https://powersaves3ds.maximummemory.com/coderequest/ Anyway, if you want to do that, just use the web browser save injector on this very site: http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?44618-RAM2Sav-Save-File-Dumping-Injection-for-X-Y-OR-AS Regardless, don't get pissy just because a company won't do what you ask them to do. They don't care about you. At all. Datel especially. They do whatever they want, WHENEVER they want.

I've got a weird one. I have a corrupted Alpha Sapphire save (not from Powersaves - it was just lying around on my desk untouched), and my last backup is kind of old now. I managed to get the corrupted save open in PKHeX, however. The Datel Checksum Fixer doesn't fix the save, by the way, and apparently, neither does PKHeX, even though all the data is intact and readable (as far as I can tell). When I try to inject the "corrupt" save (after exporting from PKHeX), it freezes my game as soon as I try to save or open any menus. I could manually transfer the data over, but I want to make sure I get everything, and things such as Pokedex data take SO long, so if there's a quicker way, I'd love to know. Other than that, it works fine for me on Alpha Sapphire and Y (although I had to make sure to delete ramsav.bin from AS before exporting with Y, else I'd get glitchy boxes with bad eggs and the like).

This let me open my "corrupted" save in PKHeX. Regular XOR programs wouldn't work. Thanks so very much for this!
