TWLSaveTool 3DS: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 02:41, 3 December 2021

TWLSaveTool is a 3DS homebrew that allows you to read, write, and erase save files from NDS cartridges (just like savegame-manager).

Available in CIA and 3DSX/SMDH formats.

CIA - Requires an access to CFWs. Recommended option (and you get to see the banner made by Apache Thunder).
3DSX - Must have either PokéTransporter or Pokémon Dream Radar installed on your 3DS. In both cases you'll need to pay to be able to download them.

Have libctru and devkitARM correctly installed and set up, as well as makerom and bannertool in an accessible path, then run: make

All NDS games should be supported except:

After creating a backup save file, it is always recommended to keep a backup of this file before importing or editing it with any save editors.
Make sure the new save is in the TWLSaveTool folder on the root of your SD card (not in /3ds/TWLSaveTool), and it has the exact name showed on screen. Otherwise it will not reconize your save file.

B - Backup save file

A - Restore save file

X - Erase save file

Start - Exit

Y - Restart
