3DS homebrew app that allows you to read, write, and erase save files from NDS cartridges (2015-2016)

TWLSaveTool

This project is no longer really maintained, beside compilation issue fixes. I created it 9 years ago, back in 2015, as my first major contribution to the 3DS scene, and its functionality has since then been replicated in other 3DS homebrew applications (with my permission): Checkpoint, PKSM, FBI, and GodMode9.

Description

TWLSaveTool is a 3DS homebrew that allows you to read, write, and erase save files from NDS cartridges (just like savegame-manager back then).

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.

Check the latest release for downloads.

Compatibility list

All genuine games except WarioWare D.I.Y., Band Brothers DX, Art Academy DS, and Pokémon Typing Adventure should be supported.

How to build

Have libctru and devkitARM correctly installed and set up:

  • install dkp-pacman (or, for distributions that already provide pacman, add repositories): https://devkitpro.org/wiki/devkitPro_pacman
  • install packages from 3ds-dev metapackage: sudo dkp-pacman -S 3ds-dev --needed

Then, have makerom and bannertool in $PATH, then run: make. If you don't need the CIA build, you can run make 3dsx and skip these two extra dependencies.

Special thanks

Many thanks to:

  • Apache Thunder, for making the amazing banner and icon this application uses
  • Steveice10, for having RE'd PXIDEV:SPIMultiWriteRead
  • idgrepthat, for pointing out that PokéTransporter was indeed using that function
  • Everyone else who helped
