The process is to create a key which is necessary to correctly XOR into a decrypted save file. Save the file with the 0x9C header removed, and you can open it in PKHeX totally fine: You can now use this to open a save in PKHeX! If you want to open a save, XOR save1keystream.bin with the powersaves backup of whatever save you want to check out (I recommend ), and then delete the first 0x9C bytes in a hex editor (I use HxD).

HELP! There has to be a way to convert the BIN into something that the same game can be restored to!Īt this point, make a copy of the backup you just made and rename it save1keystream.bin for easy remembering ability. So, I tried renaming the last backup BIN that I know that I had previously loaded prior. PowerSaves displays the available back-ups for the game based upon file name with the Game ID at the beginning of the BIN's name. As a result, PowerSaves recognizes these games as two different titles for the purposes of Backups. Unfortunately, there appears to have been at least two separate print production runs of Pokemon X & Y for the USA. PowerSaves names all the saves by Game ID.

This error'd out and murdered my cartridge (no longer visible by any Nintendo 3DS.) This forced me to purchase a replacement cartridge. At the start of the servers going down for the first days of ORAS release, I attempted to use PowerSaves 3DS to clone my Pokemon in Box 1 to keep a copy for Bank and to migrate onto ORAS.
