I don't play it, but for those fans it will be a big issue! for compatibility purposes too. Restarting the system and launching causes the same result?
Restarting the system allows it to run fine.

Edit: Persona Q doesn't allow FBI to start properly for me either. Opening FTP-3DS in between fixes it though.

Oh, right..just the .sav...my bad :| Sorry if I got your hopes up..
If it was from the same system you could make it work but from another system as far as I know it's impossible cause it's encrypted and locked to the hardware of your other system. Can you no longer access it?

how exactly can I accomplish this? I'm trying to move the savegame from a rom Ive been playing on gateway to a cia of the same game I just installed.

on the original release of the app, with the game selected on my gateway menu, when I try to extract from cartridge with game game selected in the gateway menu, It says its "accessing savearch.. uh oh" followed by crashing to the home menu.

So I started the cia of the game and let it save, then took the .sav the gateway made, put it in the same folder under /saves/ and tried to import it and when I selected it and hit A it said 0 files found in directory.

So the I tried the latest release of the tool, same results for cartridge, and for CIA when I selected my .sav it asked if i wanted to import it. it seemed to complete and gave no errors but when I launched the game to check, it had imported nothing.

I have no idea how Gateway works and why my manager doesn't work with it. It's not exactly easy to figure out either, because I don't own one and have no reason to get one.

If you still have access to your Gateway, put your .sav file you want in your SD root, start the game with your Gateway and make sure it works. Then use SaveDataFiler and export your game there, then export your save in the CIA version, then take the files from /filer that has the saves you want, and put them in the folder JKSV created and then re-import them again.

Good catch. It'll be fixed in the next release.

Working on multi select when I have time now.
Sorry if you already said this, but for the automatic date naming convention, is it yyyy/mm/dd? Or does it also account for the time as well, so we can make multiple backups a day?

It's L for MM-DD-YYYY@HH-MM or R for DD-MM-YYYY@HH-MM. I had to use dashes because of forbidden chars in path.

Can you make YYYY-MM-DD@HH-MM and YYYY-DD-MM@HH-MM instead? That makes more sense because using your current naming conventions will mean, a year from now, our save backups will mix with our old ones. Eg. 01-01-2017 will come after 01-01-2016 and before 01-02-2016.
Here's an example

I've already encountered this issue with the way nVidia's Shadowplay names its files...

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
