Homebrew How could I inject my Pokémon Gold VBA save file into my non-hacked 3DS?

your going to need to use tool to convert Emulator Saves for Gen II from an Emulator

That's why I have specified that I have my 32KB save haha I use this for fast conversion: https://shunyweb.info/convert.php

In that case I recommend using the ntrboot method.

That would be more useful. I'll learn about it, thank you.

your going to need to use tool to convert Emulator Saves for Gen II from an Emulator they wont work right out the door. https://projectpokemon.org/home/files/file/1256-save-converter-for-gen-ii-vc-games/ and this should also do the trick, http://gbatemp.net/threads/save-fix-pokemon-gen-2-emulator-save-to-virtual-console-fix.471057/ was able to import my Physical Cart's save that way (ala Retron5 Dump)

well it simple open the save file with hex editor and delete the last 2 lines

What are you guys talking about? You don't lose ANYTHING during a DSiWare transfer. You're supposed to restore your sysnand backup to your source console after the fact, and use the SD card from THAT console in the target. Literally everything but your saves copies, your games are still installed but need the tickets. Other than that the ONLY thing that's transferred that requires a reverse transfer after 7 days is your NNID if you have one. Otherwise, when you're done both of your systems will be identical as far CFW/software (unless you did it for a friend and uninstall stuff after the fact).

Without access to a save game manager like JKSM via a homebrew entrypoint, all of the save data on the target 3DS is lost during the DSiWare method of installing CFW.

True didn't think of that because but most people are using a new DS as the target with DSiWare. If they're doing it for a friend, they should warn them before hand. Most people I've done it for (since they didn't have CFW) mostly used carts, so the saves were never an issue.

That's what I thought, I didn't remember losing anything when I did a DSiWareHax for a couple of 11.2 consoles last year.

I had OoTHax so that's why I didn't lose anything. Huh, didn't think of that.
