<h1>Dumping Save Data from a 3DS Console</h1>
<h2 id="how-to-transfer-3ds-save-data-to-citra">How to Transfer 3DS Save Data to Citra</h2>
<p>There are multiple ways to transfer 3DS save data to Citra in a usable form, but the important thing to note is that whatever tool used to get the save data off of the 3DS supports exporting <em>expanded</em> save data. Save data lives in Citra&rsquo;s emulated SD card directories (<code>user/sdmc/Nintendo 3DS/000...0/000...0/title/[game-TID-high]/[game-TID-low]/data/00000001/</code>).</p>
<h3 id="threesd">threeSD</h3>
<p><a href="https://github.com/zhaowenlan1779/threeSD">threeSD</a> is a tool written to help import data from your 3DS for Citra more conveniently.</p>
<p>Refer to threeSD <a href="https://github.com/zhaowenlan1779/threeSD/wiki/Quickstart-Guide">Quickstart Guide</a> for importing your installed titles, updates, DLCs, save data, extra data, system files, etc. Note that you&rsquo;ll still need a hacked 3DS with GodMode9 to obtain your keys so that threeSD can decrypt the data on your SD card.</p>
<h3 id="checkpoint">Checkpoint</h3>
<p>As the supported way of transferring save data, <a href="https://github.com/BernardoGiordano/Checkpoint">Checkpoint</a> is easy to install and use.</p>
<h4 id="required-tools">Required tools</h4>
<ul>
<li>A 3DS with <a href="https://3ds.guide/">boot9strap</a> installed</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/BernardoGiordano/Checkpoint/releases">Checkpoint</a>.</li>
<li>SD card reader (preferred), or a way to use wireless file transfer</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="installing-checkpoint">Installing Checkpoint</h4>
<ol>
<li>Download Checkpoint from the link above.</li>
<li>For cia installation, transfer the cia file to the SD card and install it with a cia installer such as <a href="https://github.com/Steveice10/FBI/releases">FBI</a>. For Rosalina-based Homebrew Launcher, transfer the 3dsx file to <code>/3ds/</code> on the SD card. <strong>Hax-based Homebrew Launchers are not supported by Checkpoint</strong>.</li>
</ol>
<h4 id="transferring-save-data">Transferring Save Data</h4>
<ol>
<li>Open Checkpoint. If this is the first time launching Checkpoint, it may take a considerably longer than usual depending on the amount of installed titles.</li>
<li>Highlight the game you want to dump by navigating to it with the D-pad.</li>
<li>Press A and select <code>Backup</code> on the bottom screen. You will be prompted <code>Yes</code> or <code>No</code>. Select <code>Yes</code> by pressing A.</li>
<li>You will have the option to name the save folder. Name it whatever you want or use the name given to it. Press <code>OK</code> on the bottom screen.</li>
<li>The top screen will flash a message <code>Success! Progress correctly saved to disk</code>. Exit out of Checkpoint.</li>
<li>Transfer all files located in <code>/3ds/Checkpoint/saves/[Game Name]/[Folder created in Step 4]</code> to the computer.</li>
<li>Place the files in Citra&rsquo;s emulated SD card&rsquo;s save directory. You can open the save directory by right-clicking on a game in Citra and clicking &ldquo;Open Save Data Directory&rdquo;. If the directory doesn&rsquo;t exist, start the game once and the directory will be created.</li>
