Configuration

The configuration screen (aka Settings) allows you to modify certain behaviors of PKSM.

This screen is only navigable by the touch screen except to exit, which can be done by pressing B.

Each screen has it's own settings:

Screen 1: Language

This screen is used to set the language of PKSM.

To change the language tap the box next to the language you wish to use.

Screen 2: PKSM Defaults

On this screen, you are able to configure the default settings for some fields when you generate new Pokemon.

The fields can you set are the following:

• TID (Trainer ID)
• SID (Secret ID)
• OT (Original Trainer)
• 3DS Region
• Country
• Subregion (State, province, or other subdivision of a country)
• Day (caught/hatched day)
• Month (caught/hatched month)
• Year (caught/hatched year)

Screen 3: Miscellaneous Settings

On this screen, you're able to change miscellaneous functions.

• Automatically backup on load:
  • This will back up your game's save file when you first load it into PKSM.
  • This will also back up PKSM's bank storage when you load the bank.
  • This setting is turned on by default.
• Edit during transfers:
  • When transferring Pokemon from your bank to your game, PKSM will edit it to make sure that the Pokemon's information is compatible with the game.
  • This setting is turned on by default.
  • Note: this setting is required to be true if you want to perform a bulk swap of Pokemon from a generation to another.
• Enable backup injection:
  • When saving a edits made to an SD save and the game is inserted or installed, provides an option to copy the save over the save in the cartridge/installed title
  • This setting is turned on by default
• Use Save info:
  • Instead of using some information like the TID or SID from the defaults settings, PKSM will attempt you pull the information from your save file and use it for generating Pokemon.
  • This setting is turned off by default.
• Use ExtData:
  • PKSM 6.0.0 introduced the usage of ExtData for bank data, that way backups can easily be done through Checkpoint.
  • If you don't know what you're doing, don't touch this option; it is provided solely for people with unique setups or issues.
  • This setting is turned on by default
• Randomize music:
  • If you have music on your SD card located under sdmc:/3ds/PKSM/songs it will play the songs in a random order, rather than playing it in order of title.
  • If you have no music on your SD card, this setting will not do anything.
  • This setting is turned off by default.
• Show backups:
  • Enabling this setting makes PKSM show the backups that it creates in the save select screen.
  • This may cause some startup lag
  • This setting is turned off by default
• Extra Saves:
  • See the next section for information on this option

Extra Saves

Using the menu introduced in PKSM 7.0.0, it's possible to configure PKSM to edit a save from anywhere on the SD card. In order to do this, you must direct PKSM to the save file (not any possible ROM) using the file selector provided.
