Pokemon GameBoy / Rom Save Transfer To 3DS [Red, Blue, Yellow & Green]

Thank you sooooo much! Think it was that secure value I was suppose to delete…this is great! Again thank you very much! Much appreciated!

 

@InsaneNutter Thankyou sir for your helpful guide. I have questions sir, because i haven't had 3ds or ds family before.

1. is this method possible with 3ds OFW ? or only CFW that savedatafiler installed only works in CFW..?


well regarding nintendo closed eshop for 3ds in march 2023, and assuming today is april 2023, and question 1 answers only CFW,

here is my situation. I want to use my pokemon from gameboy files pokemon crystal and yellow (i know how to dumped because i have reflasher gb cart) then transfer into pokemon home sitting there nicely (no 3ds eshop, so the only way is through CFW). with the device 3ds CFW,

2. using your method from this thread, i am able to transfer gb save files into 3ds CFW (pokemon crystal and yellow virtual console), then am I able to open pokemon Bank and Poketransporter that transfer those pokemon from virtual console into pokemon home ? I use pokemon home from nintendo switch with original firmware.

I am afraid with 3ds CFW, I am unable to transfer or enter into pokemon home, but i am not quite sure about that.



3. related to number 2, is this possible without 3ds console? let say I am using 3ds emulator from pc that transfer pokemon bank (from emulator 3ds in pc) into pokemon home (in switch)

thankyou for your reply sir.

 

your reply "I suspect it would also be possible to download and install a CIA of Pokebank / Transporter on a 3DS with CFW after the Eshop has closed"


ok, my question, is this possible, when eshop has closed, my 3ds CFW with CIA file of pokebank/transporter,, able to really transfer (online?) into my pokemon home (phone) or pokemon home switch OFW ? i thinking pokemon lets go pikachu/eevee..

if its possible with pokemon home phone it really nice. next step then just link into my switch account..



in other hand, is this possible without 3ds console? let say I am using 3ds emulator from pc that transfer pokemon bank (from emulator 3ds in pc) into pokemon home (in ios phone or switch)

thankyou for your reply sir.

 

Hi @InsaneNutter ! Thanks for the really helpful guide, I managed to get Red and Yellow working successfully on my 3DS copies on the games! I've run into some problems with Gold and Silver though. I followed the exact same process as with R/Y but when I boot the games on the 3DS it says the save file is corrupted and needs to be reset. Is this because I did something wrong with the save file transfer method or is it because the saves were already messed up due to battery issues (I've not tested the cartridges in a gameboy). I noticed the post about the hex codes and I think I did it right but when I deleted the secure value it seemed to restore the game back to factory default instead.

Hope you can help

 

Ok thanks, I'll give it another try this weekend. Should I delete the SecureValue using the SaveDataFiler option before I add my desired save file to the SD card? Or is it ave to do after uploading the edited file?

 

Hello InsaneNutter.

I use pokemon silver (gen2) and poke transporter 5.5.0 on japanease ver.
I use New 3ds ver 11.16.0-49J also

I used a cart reader to dump the save from a real Pokemon Silver cartridge.


The save data was exactly 32K BYTE.
If I move this to VC with SaveDataFiler etc. as it is, it is corrupted.


However, like the image, up to 800F with a binary editor
If I add a numerical value and move it to VC, it will be read normally in VC




I think it's a little different than what you describe above.
Is it because the version of pokemon silver is different?

Also, from here, I can read it normally in VC,
but poke transfer says
「ポケムーバーがたいおうしているゲームソフトがみつかりません」(original Japanese)
"I can't find the game software that the poke mover is using" (translation in English)



Data starting from VC is recognized normally like an image.



No matter what I do with secure data(delete etc) this doesn't change

Please let me know if anything is wrong

 

Thank you for reply.


I tried changing the editor to HxD so that 8010 is not displayed, but it is not successful.


I upload the save data without success.(sav.zip)

I noticed. If the 8000 line has a value like 00
It seems the Secure Value should be removed when using SaveDataFiler.

I apologize that secure value had something to do with save data corruption.



Even if the save data is not corrupted,
there is no change in the fact that it is not recognized by the Poke Mover.

This is Video.
You may skip from 1 minute 30 seconds to 3 minutes

 

Uploaded data is used item cheats and
is used 100% catch pokemon cheat.

But savedata starting from the actual cartridge is always not recognized by the poke mover

The save data started from VC, transferred to the actual cartridge, and returned to VC again will be recognized by poke mover.

It's confusing, so I may not be telling you exactly

Thanks for the info on Pokemon Gold.
I think I'll try Pokemon Gold next.

thank you.

 

As mentioned, the actual cartridge contained cheatsavedata. in this state
Even if I chose New game and started from the beginning, it was not recognized by poke mover.


To resolve, on the title screen
Press Dpad UP + SELECT + B to clear the save and then
It was to start with a new game



(My situation is the Japanese version, but I used the English version for the images.)

As you indicated,
The cheat save data was doing bad things.

I was able to solve it.
Thank you very much!

I am sorry.
