Select Copy to clipboard
Back out to the main menu
Go to Browse SD
Press Clipboard -> Current folder
The save folder is now located on the root of the sd

Step 2: Extracting the saves

These saves aren’t done yet! these are still packed up.

What you need:

Your prod.keys file
Python 3.6+ (Install with Add to Path checked otherwise this will fail! Download Python here)
The latest version of hactool (The Windows version is bundled with SaveExtract, only needed for other operating systems)
Your save folder acquired from Step 1
SaveExtract

Instructions:

Extract the SaveExtract folder out of the SaveExtract.zip to somewhere on your pc
Place your prod.keys and hactool.exe (extracted from it’s zip) in the SaveExtract folder
Place your save folder from your sd card (SD:/tegraexplorer/save) in the SaveExtract folder
Open a terminal window and run py extract.py on Windows or python3 extract.py on any other operating system to start the save extraction. Your saves should be located now in the out folder, ordered by titleid.
