I would like to import my horses from BotW into TotK. Unfortunately I played BotW on Wii U rather than Switch. I can edit the horses I want into a save file with Marc Robledo's editor, but need some help getting the game to see it.

JKSV has the ability to create saves for games that aren't installed, with a file one can generate from an installed copy of the title. I have tried editing one of the few SVI files that have been published (JK's Let's Go Eevee), but I don't really understand the syntax / know what the 'NCAP' is - presumably it's the final readable part of the file. I would prefer not to install a multi-GB game if it's not actually necessary.

Please could someone with BotW on their Switch create me this file? Maybe we could even start an archive of such files? Not many games use other games' save files, so this is probably mostly going to be useful for Pokémon and TotK.

Open JKSV. Select BotW and press X. Export SVI file to sd/JKSV/svi (should be called 01007EF00011E000.svi). Copy to computer with e.g. DBI.

PS:
Excerpt from LGE's SVI, from the title ID to the end of what I assume is the NCAP:
Code:

Thank you for providing this.

For anyone else wanting to do this, there are a couple of points to note:

i) You need the BotW file present when starting your TotK save file (i.e. Zelda and Link explore under the castle), not just when you first visit a stable.

ii) You need a full BotW save folder, not just the edited game_data.sav:

Hopefully with these points noted and hippy dave's SVI file, other people will be able to transfer horses without installing BotW, as I ended up doing while figuring out which part wasn't working for me.

    Google isn't very helpful anymore, you get recommended loads of crap that doesn't solve the thing that you're looking for.

    @K3Nv2, afaik yeah but I also don't think that it runs on home grade routers like openwrt/dd-wrt does. OPNsense runs on full-on x86 PC hardware
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Sadly openwrt seems to be dying for support unless it's just. Anew name
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Like made by the same devs different architecture
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    idk, I mean it had a new release back in March https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/releases
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Not sure how recent hardware it supports though
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I mean for 1st party routers iirc linksys use to support it
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    ahhhh that I have no idea
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    pretty cool though if so
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Or from what ive heard ways to set custom imgs for 1st party routers so locked down now days
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    OPNsense VM and specs and specs of system it's running on. https://imgur.com/a/S9wgGUD
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I've turned more features on in OPNsense lately and it's getting kind of high on RAM usage, I see. Probably bump that up to 4GB soon
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I wanna make a 8core router with support for 20gbps doesn't even sound that silly lol
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I only have 1 gig internet but internally I have 10 gig connectivity for everything on my lan lol
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    fiber connection from my desktop PC back to my core network switch
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    2 port HPE SFP+ PCIE NIC in my desktop and all of my servers
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    silly shit
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    eventually this desktop is going to act as a server too, just for the hell of it. Because this PC is WAY fucking overkill for how little I use it.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    And once I do that, my desktop OS that I interact with is just going to be a virtual machine and use GPU passthrough to connect everything
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Send it to me ffs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    No because it's my desktop lol
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    The most use this PC is getting right now is 979 Chrome tabs open right now
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    This is my desktop there are many like it but it is mine alone
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Enabled PPPoE on router now no wifi connection lul
