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
Installing
Available in CIA and 3DSX/SMDH formats.
- CIA - Requires an access to CFWs.
- 3DSX - Now the recommended way to run this program.
Building
Have libctru and devkitARM correctly installed and set up, as well as makerom and bannertool in an accessible path, then run: make
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 reconize your save file.
Controls
B - Backup save file
A - Restore save file
