About:
Save3dsFuse is a command-line utility that enables direct access to 3DS save files, extdata, and database files through a FUSE filesystem. It allows users to mount these files as standard directories, facilitating easy extraction, modification, and injection of game saves and other data. This tool is essential for advanced users managing backups or performing data recovery on Nintendo 3DS systems.
Key Features:
  • FUSE-based filesystem for direct mounting of 3DS data
  • Support for save files, extdata, and database files
  • Command-line interface for scripting and automation
  • Cross-platform compatibility
Use Cases:
  • Extracting game saves for backup or transfer
  • Injecting modified saves back into 3DS data archives
  • Inspecting and modifying extdata or database files for research
Alternatives:
  • JKSM – JKSM is a user-friendly save manager with a GUI, whereas Save3dsFuse offers a more powerful, low-level, scriptable approach via FUSE.
  • FBI – FBI is primarily a title manager for installing CIAs, but Save3dsFuse provides specialized access to save and extdata content.
