Banana Saves (formerly Banana Patch) allows you to copy your protected savegames to your SD card within the System Menu by applying patches on-the-fly without modifying the NAND or posing any risk.

It is partially based on Waninkoko's Menu Patcher and requires an IOS with NAND permissions (any cIOS will work).

It's compatible with:

• 3.2 (U and E)
• 4.0 (J, U and E)
• 4.1 (J, U and E)
• 4.2 (J, U, E and K)
• 4.3 (J, U, E and K)

User guide

Run Banana Saves with any homebrew loading method (Homebrew Channel is recommended).

Select an IOS with NAND permissions.

Wait and the System Menu will boot.

Now you are able to copy protected savegames to your SD card (even if the button looks disabled).

Automatizing boot

If you are using Homebrew Channel 1.0.7 or later, you can automatize Banana Saves boot so you won't even need to select the IOS. Just open the meta.xml file and remove the comment lines (<!-- and -->).

And then edit the IOS number you want to use. For example, if you want to use IOS236:

  <arguments>
      <arg>--ios=236</arg>
  </arguments>
