BCATs are needed to activate some special, time limited events in game.
The guide shows you how to backup your game progress and inject right BCAT files into your game.
Once you know how it works, you can repeat all steps for each new BCAT coming out.
This guide is made for the Atmosphère CFW. No guarantee that homebrews used here will work on any other CFW.
Before we begin, we need right tools to backup savegame, restore BCAT and set synced time.

Have fun playing!
No, you don't need to do anything with the passphrase.bin as long you're using my release!
