I tried it and it works on 3DS SSA. I quickly created default skylanders (didn't make any changes) to unlock

each element creation set, except for tech since I'm waiting for the 8-pack,

then reset them so I can use them when my kids and I are ready to make more.

Can someone tell me if this method can corrupt the data on the toy?

I'm mostly thinking about traps with variant villains, had anyone tried that? I've read that editors can mess up those and you end up with a regular villain, I wonder if this or something similar could happen with 3DS SSA...

It would remove the variant villains, but not because it corrupted the trap. Variant villains are just extra data saved to the trap after they are made and resetting them in any way will remove this data.

Thank you for the answer!

I have one last silly question: Could resetting like this mess up my Dark Bowser? I have a Wii and a 3DS, but no Wii U, and I really want to reset this figure, unfortunately I can't think of any other way to do so. (Sorry for asking TT/SC related questions here, I could not find any topic about this 3DS method anywhere else...)

The 3DS reset method will not work with figures (it will just tell you the figure is not supported). So it can't be used to reset your dark bowser.

I have made an important discovery!

For those unfamiliar with Pyrofer’s Skylanders tool, it lets Portal Masters like us save data onto our computer from our Skylanders, then write them back again to the figure. It was made in Giants and halted development during Trap Team, making it so the reader only truly identifies SSA-STT figurines.

Today I’ll be having some cousins over, so I wanted a way to save my CC data and come back to it once they’ve had their fun creating Skylanders. I saved the data from my Fire CC to the tool, and reset the Crystal after. I tested it in Imaginators to make sure the Reset worked, which it did, then tried writing the data back to the Crystal. I selected the data and tried writing it. It worked!

Does anyone know what this means? We can keep all ten battle classes on one single Crystal! Provided that you make sure you don’t confuse the filenames, it will be easy to keep track of them if you separate them by their class!

P.S. If anyone else has discovered this, sorry for taking credit.

I have all the skylanders 3ds games...but never had a 3ds to play them...and now with the reset option I'm looking to buy a 3ds...but still pretty pricey....from what I have been reading the 2ds plays 3ds games and is half the price. ..before I pull the trigger and buy one...can anyone confirm that the crystal reset work on a 2ds?...and maybe why or why not to buy one?

Bifrost Prismatic Sparx Gems: 10386	#110 Posted: 13:48:33 21/10/2016 It should work exactly the same. The only difference is that the 2DS doesn't, well, have 3D and can't be folded; games wise nothing changes because Skylanders doesn't have any fancy schmancy gyroscope gimmicks or 3D-essential gameplay. --- SO I'LL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT (What I need is never what I want)

Bifrost's right. My sister owns a 2DS and there is really no difference outside of what she noted. Different shape and a switch to go int osleep mode, but other than that.

Since a particular user was confused as to how I managed to make the 'GUI Tool Crystal Writing', I'll just stick my PM to him here. Don't worry, no personal detail or anything.

To save it, first read the Crystal on the Portal, and after it has been successfully read, click 'File', then 'Save Figure'. This will dump the all the Crystal's data into the tool.

After you've reset it, or even after you've put other information on it (haven't tested that to be sure), put the figure back into the tool, and after it has been successfully read, click on the # that represents the particular Crystal (my Fire CC was #685), and if you have more than one of an element, make sure that ALL the numbers along the bottom to the right of the bottom left corner are the same as the figure you put on.

After you have clicked the appropriate #, click 'Portal', then 'Write Figure'. When you see in the bottom left 'Write OK', the data you saved previously should be on the CC.

Note: Do not forget to select the data for you figure by clicking it TWICE. If you just click 'Write Figure' after clicking your data ONCE, it will just write the data that is currently on the figure back into it. You will not get back your Imaginator.

WiiU running in Wii mode with the Wii Giants software DOES WORK to reset Creation Crystals. I loaded and played the Giants Wii version on my WiiU with Tree Rex on the Imaginator portal. Went to the main menu, swapped on a magic crystal with a figure loaded then chose Settings and the Fix Toy option. Back in Imaginators, the magic creation crystal loaded as factory new. So now folks with a Wii or WiiU can reset crystals too using the Giants software for the Wii.
I tried the same thing with Spyro's Adventure (Wii disc) and Giants (WiiU disc) and neither worked. I picked up a copy of Giants (Wii) for $12 and am now free to experiment to my hearts content. And by the way, defeating the doomlander in the Cradle of Creation with a level two Tree Rex is possible, but I don't recommend it!

After reading Gajim's post I ran to Gamestop and picked up a Wii copy of Giants for 98 cents.

Ran it in Wii Mode on my Wii U and it absolutely worked with no issue! My kids and I spent a couple hours trying different battle classes on each crystal and resetting them (using the gamepad as a reset station monitor) over and over! Playing Imaginators on PS4, we didn't even need to change video feeds for resets!

So happy I read your post Gajim!!!!

In answer to that question (hopefully for good, because the lack of general knowledge is painful to read) it's this: If a version of a game works on a console, then it's still the exact same game on anything that runs it, no matter what the console/whatever is called, and so will act the same way all the time. (patches and updates aside, and those only apply when installed and are easily removed)

ie: A Wii or 3DS game is always the exact same Wii/3DS game. The console you play it on makes no difference, ever.
ie2: A 3DS, New 3DS, and 2DS ARE THE EXACT SAME SYSTEM. They have a different names, slightly different appearances, and the 3DS has some extra hardware that allows higher processing of the exact same software (except the Internet Channel, which did get a full upgrade, both of which still make no change to whatever game is being run. The games themselves will always operate the same.

The same would apply to PS3/4 and XBox 360/One if that were an option (which at least with XBox One it's not, as they have stated that any game that makes use of a peripheral for play will not be backwards compatible)

Muffin Man Platinum Sparx Gems: 5569	#134 Posted: 04:17:24 03/11/2016 Yeah there's no real need to distinguish between the Wii and the Wii U in Wii mode since the Wii U functions identically to the Wii when it's in Wii mode. --- Boop me if you see this.

Seems more things were discovered before I could help and test out.

I own all the 3DS games (S:SA was my first Skylanders game kkand is my favorite and the reason I got hooked) So yes the reset works, just another confirmation.

However, it was asked rather chests can be reset. Two things, 1. Each 'save file' on a system shares the parts, so you don't Need to reunlock for regular and nightmare.

And 2, the CC reset trick does NOT work for the chests. I tried it and yeah, didn't work.

I'm new to skylanders. I've tried using this method but my pc running windows 10 just says that the portal isn't connected.

some idea about resetting crystals

check the backup files for differences to get to know how the 3ds+ssa / wii+giants reset works:
1) generate your custom character on a crystal
2) do a backup using the mentioned tool
3) reset the crystal using 3ds or wii method
4) do another backup (before creating a new character on it)
5) compare both backups using hex editor

now u should see what the 3ds /wii reset does to the crystal.

let me know what you've found out.

That happened to me too - it takes about five to ten seconds (at a guess) before the crystal is recognised. My guess is that force-resetting a crystal using a different Skylanders game corrupts the data on the crystal in some way, and Imaginators needs a bit of time to repair or re-initialise the crystal.

In comparison, when I rewrite a crystal with previously saved data from an empty crystal, the crystal reads straight away when I put it on the Imaginators portal.

Thank you, Bifrost. I have a wii, no wiiu though.

We got a wii like, two months before the wiiu came out.
Someone should really make a stickied thread with CC Reset Solution, or Activision should make a $5 magic item single pack so that when you put that item and a CC on the portal, it resets the CC. They'd make loads of money.
