Hi there!
Yesterday, my 3DS fell and... uh... broke in half. Yep. Literally just... split in half.
Although I am really upset over not being able to play, like, 80% of the games I love, I wanted to at least try to get my saves and my stuff back. After all, I do have 3.5 million bells in my New Leaf bank account :V
Sadly, I got stuck somewhere in the process and I don't know where to keep going, so I decided to ask for help instead! Maybe this way some other poor soul can find this and fix their stuff, lol.
So, I started looking up solutions, and I stumbled across this thread: [can't post links, post is named "AntisaveGame Restore/Encryption Issue (Pokemon X)"].
Now I had a better idea of what I had to do. I downloaded seedminer and ninfs, then obtained a couple of the files needed for ninfs. I already had extracted boot9.bin and my seeddb.bin (I'm not sure if I actually need the last one tho?) so I took those files, but there was no movable.sed or movable_part1.sed.
Since my HDD from when I hacked my 3DS broke a few months ago and my 3DS' original SD card did too, some time before that, I don't have the movable_part1.sed. And, well, I doubt any of my friends are willing to hack their 3DS so I can get my saves back (I've already asked a few of 'em lol).
But then, suddenly, I noticed something: the release page for seedminer 2.0 said something about getting the part1/LFCS from a mii QR code! So I started looking up how exactly to do this.
To my dissapointment, there's very little documentation regarding seedminer, but I was able to find the seedminer launcher GUI python script (seedminer/seedminer_launcher3_GUI.py) inside the repo. So I could just extract the Mii... right?
I'm going to skip all the Windows/Linux crap and skip to where I got it to almost work out. ...except...
Yeah. *sigh*.
I don't know what's happening, but bfCL doesn't seem to be given the right console arguments? IDK.
For reference, the version of seedminer I'm using is the latest release, 2.1.5. I did try to compile the last commit of bfCL myself but I got hit by a few warnings and, after I disabled those, like 20 multiple definition errors.
I'd prefer to do this myself because I feel kinda ehhhhhhh about posting any info about my 3DS online (afaik all you can get from that is that screenshot is that it's an old 3DS lol), but I can send the Mii over if needed.
...also, can I just get the movable from the seeddb or something? I don't know where I got this idea from but I want to discard it as soon as possible if these two files are unrelated.
By the way, I just made a GBAtemp account to be able to ask this (reading posts here usually solved my issues, and it's how I got most of my information, so, why not?), so I couldn't use the Ask thing, and also, if I've categorized this wrong or anything else, just let me know! ^^
[If at some point I reach the 5 message thing I'll update and add links for clarity, sorry for that :/]
