Homebrew [Pre-release] Agbsave9 - Tool to extract agb_firm saves.

[Ekam3284]

You should just use GodMode9, it's easier, stabler and works with Bootstap9 (for backups)
Check out this little manual, specifically the "Backup/Restore GBA VC Saves" section.

Do you people think that is gonna be any other form to extract these saves without CFW or doing complicated things?

I would like to extract my saves from my GBA embassador games without CFW or use my other 3DS to play GBA games extracting and putting the saves quickly and easily...

Most likely not. You need certain access to be able to pull these saves and be decrypted to use. This is where homebrew and CFW come in to being able to grab these files for the saves.

I've updated the program to allow for save injection. To use it consult the instructions on the release page
Here is the release https://github.com/alex34567/Agbsave9/releases/tag/v1.0.1
Source code https://github.com/alex34567/Agbsave9.
Thanks to the people who made Decrypt9 which my tool is a fork of and, to 3dbrew which had documentation on the AGB_FRIM save format.

This. Freakin. Worked!
Thank you so much for releasing this tool. I can't use GodMode9/Hourglass9/etc because I prefer Emunand, so this simpler method is fantastic. It even works with titles that are installed solely on Emunand! So happy
As a minor note, I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but there's a bug in the latest version. When creating the save injection cia, it says that it can't find "agb_inject_mb_1.ftr", which is in the folder like in previous versions. I followed advice from this thread, so no biggie. Just thought to let you know.

To my knowledge, it's impossible to play GBA games from solely EmuNAND anyway, so I'm not sure I see the point of injecting AGBSAVEs to EmuNAND. Also, this implementation is a bit buggy and GodMode9 does it far better.

It´s fine when you are happy but keep it for yourself please. There is no need to bump old threads.

Well... I thought this through, and actually GM9s method *should* work for GBA VC games from EmuNAND, too. You'll still have to inject / dump from S:/agbsave.bin, though. Did you use E:/agbsave.bin earlier?

Yeah, that was stupid of me. Sorry for the trouble. This'll be my last post on this thread.

That actually worked! Thank you!

GBAVCSM

If you don't want to use GBAVCSM for some reason, the other option would be to manually dump the .sav files with GodMode9 itself. Here's the steps:

1. boot into GodMode9 (hold Start while turning on your 3DS)
2. go into the S: drive
3. press A when agbsave.bin is highlighted (should be by default so you can just press A immediately)
4. press A again to choose "AGBSAVE options..."
5. press A again to choose "Dump GBA VC save"
6. Done!
