Save files for Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon
Created by Riidolsk (2019-08-08)

Homebrew:
A homebrewed 3DS and the Checkpoint app are required to install these save files. A guide to installing homebrew can be found at https://3ds.hacks.guide/
Checkpoint should be one of the apps that it has you install. If not, the .cia file can be found at https://github.com/FlagBrew/Checkpoint/releases/tag/v3.6.0

Profiles:
You will find the profiles named here as "profileX.sav" You must rename the profile so that it is installed into the slot you want. The game has three profile slots (that you see after the title screen). For example, to install to the first profile slot, rename the save file to profile1.sav

Profiles are installed in sets. So you may install a a single profile or multiple at the same time (like a "profile2.sav" and a "profile3.sav"). The current profiles in the game will ALL BE DELETED when you install the new profile(s). Be sure to backup your own saves using Checkpoint, or the built-in save data backup feature on the 3DS (if you have digital).

Installation:
Before moving the desired profile(s) onto your SD card, open Checkpoint on the 3DS. This will create the folder to move the files to. After that, you should see a folder path on the SD card like:
.\3ds\Checkpoint\saves\0x0055F Luigi's Mansion  Dark Moon
Make a new folder at the end of this path (like "E. Gadd Storage"). You may name it whatever you wish. Then copy all the .sav files that you want to install into it. You may make other folders as well to have a variety of profile sets to choose from.

When you open Checkpoint again, you should be able to see the folder(s) that you named. Enjoy the save files!
