Oops, my bad. I think I sent you the wrong one lol. That was from my japanese copy of the game.
Here's the correct one.

Here's the correct one.
Nothing seems wrong. Should be able to copy to the game with no issues. Make sure you're using the latest version of the save editor as in the first post. (And not confusing your "Japanese" with "English" game)
As I said, I tried restoring both the edited save file with the DLC items and the original backup save using Checkpoint but I got an error in both instances.

Maybe I should just use another app ?

What version of Checkpoint are you using?
Did you try using something else? Like JKSM or SVDT?
Checkpoint is on v3.7.4 and no, I haven't tried using the other two.

Also not really sure how to install them.

And another thing, for the edited save file I just need to put the .bin file in a folder in the same directory as the backup one, right ?

Also forgot to mention this, but the game also says that "This SD card contains extra data created on another system or on another SD card. The game cannot be played with this extra data".

Go to this page. https://github.com/J-D-K/JKSM/releases/latest
Pick one of the two files listed. (You do not need both!)
- JKSM.3DSX create a folder called "3DS" on the sd card. Put the file in there. Load it with homebrew loader.
- JKSM.CIA put the file on your sd card. Load FBI Installer. Locate the JKSM.Cia file and install it on the home screen.
There's already a folder called "3ds" on my SD. Should I just put it there ?
Ok, I'll try this tomorrow thanks.

Just tried to restore the save with JKSM.
Didn't seem to work, the game just displayed the same error message as before.

Hi folks. Sorry I haven't checked this thread in a while, I've been quite busy.
@zaiaku666: You're right, that isn't great and I didn't think of it when I made the editor (items don't appear in the collected list). This is something that can be fixed in a later version, but I'm busy at the moment so I'm not sure when I'll get around to it.
@Ego_Stone: Are you sure this isn't a case of "Device ID" not being set correctly? I should really rename it to "Game ID", because it changes every time a new save is created on the console. Basically what you have to do is match the value on the save you want to use to the value in the latest save you created on the 3DS.
Thanks for all your kind words everyone. Glad to see people are making use of it.

Excuse me, do you have japanese version starter save file with all dlc? Thank you in advance!
Hi, sorry for the over a year old reply, but I did check and the Device ID was set correctly and I still get the same message when restoring the modified save file and the booting up the game after.Hi folks. Sorry I haven't checked this thread in a while, I've been quite busy.

No, I don't have it, not sure how to modify the save file for the Japanese version.
Hi folks. New version has just been released. This one will update the collected items list after adding them to the bag. Apologies for the long wait, I've just been busy.
@Ego_Stone: Send me the files if you like and I'll edit them for you. Bear in mind that the name "Device ID" is a little misleading. It's really a "Game ID", as a new value is created each time you wipe the memory and start again. The device will remember the number from when you last started from scratch, and that's the number you need to have on your save file.

For those who are interested, later today I'll be releasing a new version of the editor with the ability to edit monster teams.
