TWLSaveTool is a 3DS homebrew that allows you to read, write, and erase save files from NDS cartridges (just like savegame-manager).
Even though a CIA build is provided for historical reasons, the 3DSX build is the recommended way to use this application. You are expected to run Luma3DS.
Installation
Available in CIA and 3DSX/SMDH formats.
- CIA - Requires an access to CFWs.
- 3DSX - Now the recommended way to run this program.
User guide
Game compatibility
All NDS games should be supported except:
- WarioWare D.I.Y.
- Band Brothers DX.
- Art Academy DS.
- Pokémon Typing Adventure.
Notes
- After creating a backup save file, it is always recommended to keep a backup of this file before importing or editing it with any save editors.
- Make sure the newly created save is in the TWLSaveTool folder on the root of your SD card (not in /3ds/TWLSaveTool), and it has the exact name showed on screen. Otherwise it will not recognize your save file.
Controls
B - Backup save file
A - Restore save file
X - Erase save file
Start - Exit
Y - Restart
Left/Right - Change filename
