Hello so ive had a hacked 3DS for awhile, and i downloaded a .cia game, but then i wanted to buy the real cartridge, so i did, but now im wondering if theres a way to transfer the game save from the CIA file to the cartridge with Checkpoint or something? I known that you can create save backups on Checkpoint, but i dont know how they work, and i also know that cartridges in the game slot appear on the Checkpoint menu and you can select them.

Is this possible? Thanks!!

sorry for the necropost, but would you use checkpoint or gm9 (or something else) to inject the save into the cartridge?

Can I edit all of the cartridges content such as adding it deleting files inside it?
JKSM and Checkpoint are used for savegames. The games are usually stored as read only and can't be written to without physical tampering

    I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.

    that game's engine is really fucking intensive so it runs like literal shit on xbox 360 and ps3

    Nah I'm getting value creep again. I look at a $50 console "but for just a few more dollars you could get XYZ" and I end up considering the Steam Deck.

    like the lighting in that game was genuinely so good
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Not getting dragged into that again.
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    i dont get why they didn't port the one game that ran the worst on consoles, to pc
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    like you port everything to pc except the one game where it would make the most sense. why. what do you gain from this
