The game to have its extra data dumped from has an ID associated with its extra data (called its Ext ID). This needs to be known in order to place the dumped data in the correct place in Citra's directory structure. Below are some of the known extra data IDs. This list is a work in progress and not comprehensive. Please add additional extra data IDs as they are learned. +#### Ext IDs +The title to have its extra data dumped from has an ID associated with its extra data called its Ext ID. This is not the same as its Title ID (TID), but can usually be derived from it. The title's Ext ID needs to be known in order to place the dumped data in the correct place in Citra's directory structure. Follow the below steps to derive a title's Ext ID from its TID: -| Game | Ext ID High | Ext ID Low | -| ------------- |:-------------:|:----------:| -| Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars | 00000000 | 000012C8 | +1. Find the title's TID. The TID is exactly 16 [hexadecimal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal) characters. There are multiple ways to do this on a 3DS or a computer, including using [JKSM](https://github.com/J-D-K/JKSM/releases) to browse the 3DS's installed title list or by using a [simple internet search](https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=3ds+title+IDs). +2. Split the TID into its TID high and TID low. The TID high is the first eight characters of the TID and the TID low is the last eight characters. We don't need the TID high, so just note the TID low. +3. The TID low should end with two zeroes. Move them to the beginning of the TID low (example: `0012C800` becomes `000012C8`). The modified TID low is the Ext ID Low. +4. The Ext ID High is `00000000` for games and system applications. This tutorial does not cover extracting NAND extra data. +5. The Ext ID High and Ext ID low put together form the Ext ID. For purposes of this tutorial though, keep them separated. ### Installing JKSM 1. Download JK's Save Manager from the link above. 2. Move the JKSV folder containing filter.txt to the root of the SD card. 3. Move JKSM.cia to the SD card and install it to the home menu. -***Note - JKSM has a homebrew app available, but The .cia is recommended because the homebrew app does not work with up-to-date 3DS firmware. To install the homebrew app, merge the 3ds/JKSM folder containing the JKSM.3dsx, JKSM.smdh, and JKSM.xml file with the 3ds folder on the SD card and use the [homebrew launcher](http://smealum.github.io/3ds/) to open it. +**Note** - JKSM has a homebrew app available, but The .cia is recommended because the homebrew app does not work with up-to-date 3DS firmware.
