Introduction

---

This thread will guide you through on how to get any official badge you could possibly think of, and also how to group each badge into sets.

Setup

---

Before starting, you're going to need a few things:

• A modded 3DS with boot9strap
• Simple Badge Injector (CIA)
• Allbadge Tool
• Advanced Badge Editor
• A way to read your SD card

Assumptions

---

This guide assumes the following:

• You followed the 3ds.hacks.guide step by step to mod your 3ds, or update your modded 3ds.
• You know some basic understanding of transferring files from your 3DS's SD card to your PC and vice versa.
• Your 3DS has a Nintendo Network account associated (despite it possibly not being needed).

Getting the arm9 bootrom

---

This will be needed for the allbadge tool, as it is required for decrypting some files.

• Boot your 3DS holding
  Start
  . This should open GodMode9
• Move to
  [M:] MEMORY VIRTUAL
  and press
  A
• Move to
  boot9.bin
  and press
  A
• Move to
  Copy to 0:/gm9/out
  and press
  A
• While holding
  R
  , press
  Start
  to turn your 3DS off

Your
boot9.bin
file should now be on your SD card inside of
/gm9/out
.


Getting the badges

---

Having obtained the arm9 bootrom, you can now use the Allbadge Tool.

• Make sure your
  boot9.bin
  is in the same folder as
  allbadge_tool.exe
• Open
  allbadge_tool.exe
• Select the versions you wish to download
  ex.: EUR v131
• Click the begin button
  • Wait until everything is done
  • If any error occurs, make sure to read what the error says. If it's something you can solve manually, do it so. Report any other weird errors to me
• Once done, you should have zip files for the badges you want inside a
  data
  folder
• You may want to extract the folders for the sets you want

With this step done, we now have all the badges.


Installing Simple Badge Injector and knowing your NNID

---

To inject any badges, you will need to know your NNID.

• Move the
  SimpleBadgeInjector.cia
  to your SD card
• Boot your 3DS with the SD card inside
• Open
  FBI
• Install the
  SimpleBadgeInjector.cia
• Close
  FBI
• Open
  Simple Badge Injector
• Your NNID should be displayed, take note of it on your PC
• You can shutdown your 3DS

Preparations are complete, let's get these badges.

Creating badge data

---

To actually import the extracted badges, you will need to use Advanced Badge Editor.

• Open
  Advanced_badge_editor.exe
• Go to
  File
  >
  New data
• Type your NNID in the respective field
  • An alternative to this process could involve using the Simple Badge Injectorto dump your own
    BadgeData.dat
    and
    BadgeMngFile.dat
    files
  • In that case, use
    File
    >
    Open data
    and select the folder where those files are
• Go to
  Import
  >
  Entire set data (*.prb and *.cab)
• Select the set's
  .cab
  file
• Select the set's
  .prb
  files (you can select multiple)
• Click
  255 of each badge
  for essentially all the badges you need
• Go to
  File
  >
  Save data to...
• Select a folder to save the badge files to
• You can close the app

Now you should now have seemling legit
BadgeData.dat
and
BadgeMngFile.dat
files.


Injecting the badge data

---

Finally, to use your badges, you're going to need to inject them.

• Move the
  BadgeData.dat
  and
  BadgeMngFile.dat
  files to
  /3ds/SimpleBadgeInjector
  relative to the SD card's root
• Open
  Simple Badge Injector
  on your 3DS
• Select
  Dump badge data
  . This will backup any badge data you might have (optional)
• Select
  Create ExtData archive 0x14D1
  and press
  A
• Select
  Inject custom badge data
  and press
  A
  • In case any unexpected errors occur, please report them to me
• Return to the home menu

You should now have injected a generous amount of official badges!
