    [Tutorial] How to extract the saves from R/B/Y virtual console (using homebrew)

    in Saves - Editing Help

    Posted · Edited by Pikm

    As many of you know, up until recently it was impossible to extract the saves from newer eshop games with out softmodding your 3DS to run unsigned .cia files. Now, thanks to a recent update to the homebrew launcher, and the efforts of ihaveamac and other contributors, it is now possible to extract and restore saves using only homebrew (and of course a computer).

    What you'll need;

    Instructions:

    Put your SD card into your computer and drag the svdt.3dsx, svdt.smdh, svdt.xml, and asr.dat files into a folder called "svdt". Then, place the newly created folder into the '3ds' directory (where all your homebrews go) of your SD card. If you already have svdt, then you can skip that step. Then, open the zip file for the linked boot.3dsx and extract the contents into the folder where you place your homebrews (usually '3ds'). You can rename the boot.3dsx to something you'll remember if you want to. This boot.3dsx does not need to replace the one that you normally use to launch homebrew, as it is not an official release (it's just compatible with what we're about to do.). After you're done that, it's time to download an .xml file to bypass the 9.6+ crypto. Visit this page; https://github.com/ihaveamac/9.6-dbgen-xmls Open the 'mmap' folder, and find the .xml file that matches your game. Here are some links;

    Click 'raw', and then it will bring you to a new page with only the code. Right click on the code, and then click 'save as'. It will now open a menu to save it as; [insert title ID].xml Save the file to your desktop, or if you want to plan ahead, before you download the .xml, create a folder on the root of your SD card called 'mmap', and save the .xml file to that folder (still do this even if you have the .xml downloaded to your desktop). Now, eject the SD card and put it in your 3DS. Boot the Homebrew Launcher, and then find the boot.3dsx that you already moved to the '3ds' directory. Open the boot.3dsx, and it will take you to an alternate Homebrew Menu that has the capability to run the .xml file in your 'mmap' folder. Launch svdt, and find the virtual console game you downloaded the .xml file for. Press A, and it should load svdt on the game. If you are stuck on a red screen, you did something wrong. If svdt boots, then you should have a message on the touch screen that says something along the lines of; "standard dump to SD was invoked". This means that svdt already backed up your save into a folder in the "svdt" directory on the ROOT of your SD card. You can now take that file, edit it, and restore it as you wish.:creep:

    Questions about building a personal bank collection

    in Saves - Editing Help

    Posted

    I'm getting back into Pokemon and love collecting them in the game. I have CFW on my 3DS and want my bank to have a collection of every US and JP event pokemon as well as some special mons that are too difficult to obtain right now (XD/Colosseum, etc). Thing is I don't know what I've missed since I stopped playing after Red (I'm in my late 20's now). It seems like a mountain of information just to find out what special stuff I've missed over the years. It's extremely convoluted.

    Can someone give me a rough outline of what I want to get my hands on? What I think I'm looking for is:

    Distributed Events (not including prizes for ranking high in tournaments but including ones for participating in online-only tournaments).

    Pokemon from older games with special flags/ribbons (like xD Latios, Colosseum, etc)

    Dream Radar specials

    GTS Events

    Old wifi event distributions (Fall 2010 Mew, etc)

    Scratch cards that were missed (Shiney Mega Gengar, Diancie, etc)

    All previous wondercards for XY and ORAS

    Old Mons with special moves that can't be obtained in Gen6 (I have no idea how many there are so I don't know if this is reasonable)

    Am I missing anything? Will all of these pass into Bank without problems if done correctly? How many unique mons are I looking at genning here?

    I don't want to consider this "cheating". Any pokemon obtained from charities I'm willing to donate to independently (already donated well to the Earthquake Relief for pikachu to show appreciation). I'm not trying to gen competitive pokemon, I'll actually breed them myself (nothing against those who gen for this purpose). This is all for my private collection that won't be used competitively. Sorry if I seem overly defensive, as I've gotten alot of flak asking in certain places.

    Thank you if you read all this.

    There's an app for CFW called Pokemon Homebrew Bank that manages a local storage of pokemon. I don't know if the cia build is finished yet, but google the name.
