Welcome to the SMB3Explorer wiki!

About

SMB3Explorer is a tool for exporting statistical data for the Steam game Super Mega Baseball 3. It does this by reading the game's save file and connecting to the underlying database. It is not a save editor, and does not modify the save file in any way. Please do not use this tool while the game is running.

This tool is designed for use on 64-bit Windows systems. For right now, it is not supported on other platforms.

The application has not been tested with save games from other platforms (Xbox, PS4, etc.). If those platforms use a similar save game those that mentioned in Additional Notes, it may work, but it is has not been tested and is not guaranteed.

Additional notes

The paths below are for Windows. The % syntax indicates an environment variable. For example, %LOCALAPPDATA% is the same as C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local on most systems.

  • The default save game1 location is %LOCALAPPDATA%\Metalhead\Super Mega Baseball 3\**your_steam_id**\savedata.sav
  • The application supports automatically locating the save file, but you can also manually specify the location. Additionally, by right clicking on the manual selection button, you can select pre-extracted save game database.
  • Connecting to the database essentially represents a snapshot of the save game at that point in time.
  • The extracted save game databases are located in %TEMP%.
    • Since this tools exports a new database with each save game connection, you can quickly purge the old databases by deleting the contents of %TEMP%, or by using the Purge Application Data File menu option.
  • The exported CSV files are located in %LOCALAPPDATA%\SMB3Explorer.
    • You can also navigate to this folder by using the Open Export Folder File menu option.
  • As of version 1.1.0, the application will automatically check for updates on startup.

1: The save game is a ZLib compressed SQLite database, for those interested.
