Banana Saves applies patches to the System Menu on-the-fly to allow you to copy your protected savegames to your SD card within the System Menu. It doesn't modify the NAND and has no risk. It's partially based on Waninkoko's Menu Patcher.

Banana Saves needs an IOS with NAND permissions (any cIOS will work).

It's compatible with:

3.2 (U and E)
4.0 (J, U and E)
4.1 (J, U and E)
4.2 (J, U, E and K)
4.3 (J, U, E and K)

How to use

Run Banana Saves with any homebrew loading method (Homebrew Channel is recommended)
Select an IOS with NAND permissions
Wait and the System Menu will boot
Now you are able to copy protected savegames to your SD card (even if the button looks disabled)

Automatizing boot

If you are using Homebrew Channel 1.0.7 or later, you can automatize Banana Saves boot so you won't even need to select the IOS. Just open the meta.xml file and remove the comment lines (). And then edit the IOS number you want to use. For example, if you want to use IOS236:

   <arguments>
       <arg>--ios=236</arg>
   </arguments>
