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.
