## How to Transfer 3DS Save Data to Citra
There are multiple ways to transfer 3DS save data to Citra in a usable form, but the important thing to note is that whatever tool used to get the save data off of the 3DS supports exporting _expanded_ save data. Save data lives in Citra's emulated SD card directories (`user/sdmc/Nintendo 3DS/000...0/000...0/title/<game-TID-high>/<game-TID-low>/data/00000001/`). The below tutorial uses [JK's Save Manager](https://github.com/J-D-K/JKSM/releases) (JKSM), which is easy to install and use.

5. You will be prompted to select a folder or `New`. If selecting `New`, enter any name you wish and then select `OK`.
6. A popup should appear that says `Complete!` Close JKSM.
7. Transfer all files located in `/JKSV/Saves/<Game Name>/<Folder name selected or created in Step 5>` to the computer.
8. Place the files in Citra's emulated SD card's save directory at `user/sdmc/Nintendo 3DS/000...0/000...0/title/<High ID noted in Step 3>/<Low ID noted in Step 3>/data/00000001/`. These directories may have to be created if the game the save was dumped from hasn't been played in Citra yet.
8. Place the files in Citra's emulated SD card's save directory. You can open the save directory by right-clicking on a game in Citra and clicking "Open Save Data Directory". If the directory doesn't exist, start the game once and the directory will be created.
*In step 3, If the title to be dumped isn't on the list, first try selecting `Refresh Games` from the app's root menu. If that doesn't work, JKSM's filter may need to be updated. This can be done easily from the app's root menu and selecting `Download Filter` (internet connection required). If that still doesn't work, the filter will have to be updated manually. Open `/JKSV/filter.txt` and add a new line. Type 0xXXXXXXXX where XXXXXXXX is the game's TID Low (the last 8 characters of the game's Title ID). Save the edited file. The game should now appear in the list.
