You did search for 100 in Cheat Engine and replaced it to try to get the friend limit higher. What exactly should I expect?
I am not a reverse engineer, but I can tell that's not how it's done.
This thing worked on ACNL and MK7 to bypass the maximum value.
And I did'nt change all 100 to 65535 (haha)
Just tried it on that app, crash (what did I expect.)

Which maximum value in ACNL and MK7.
Either way cheat engine is not really a proper debugger.
If you are actually interested in this kind of research start working with a debugger. Once you grt the hang of it it will be a lot more useful and it will be faster to patch the things you need.
Also. Sometimes you don't exactly know what you are searching for value wise.
And who said that ANY of the 100 values is for the max friends? Or who says a 300 has to be the value for the title cap.
It could also be a length part. If 1 "friend card" is 16bytes long (just examples here) and you can have up to 100. Who says your value is 100 and not 1600 (16*100).
Replacing a 100 to 200 for spaces now would not get you a higher friend cap bit instead messed up cards. (If you ubderstand what I am trying to say.)

don't care, he want you mad.
It's not about making someone mad. But your posts are complete nonsense.
Either add to the conversation oder keep quiet.

VR max, VR when you starts the game, and bank limit, nothing special

I don't need to be helped.
I can learn myself

That can be that, I didn't look too long in it.

What? Me ? I've test this and the value is stored in FriendCrd_LZ or Common. I do my work gradually and I've started this yesterday. :)

Well that's why I am saying. Try to do it with a debugger. It's a lot
no he try to explain some thing to @Mega-Mew
(not necessary when I see what he can do)
I am trying to give hin advice on using a debugger as multiple people who actually know what they are talking about have mentioned.
Because searching for random values in a compiled code file in which you can't tell if it's binary code, variables, Stack addresses etc. It is very unlikely to find what you are actually looking for.
And whatever you have seen him do. I can just tell what I see here and how it will not get him far I guess.

But if you find something feel free to share and proof me wrong. Maybe you get something done this way.

Cheat Engine, Gecko, The Gateway cheat engine are all an debbuger.

If you mean IDA, its a disassembler/decompiler

Why you impose a method that works with others? Each to his own, example : Me. He know that and he doesn't need advices.

Whatever guys. Just do what you want.
I've seen this fail multiple times and just tried to mention a better alternative (which as I said, notable people have also mentioned before).
Doing some Gateshark codes is really not a big deal. And getting parts of that translated into a "rom" isn't either. It doesn't mean anything.
Btw the max friends value is almost certainly not in FriendCrd_lz.bin, but whatever.

I doesn't need advices also, man.
If I am wrong (which astonished me because I tested and the value had change to 255)
well I find this and you will keep your advice to yourself

Are you sure it's decompressed? (I assume you use @TheDeKay 's tool, based on the LZ ending.)
I don't have these problems. it opens perfectly fine for me. Try opening it in a Hex Editor and check if you have readable strings or not.
I use "3dsexplorer_v1.5.3", and yes it opens in a hex editor after decompression (LZ11):

But not in "MSBT.Editor.Reloaded.v0.8.6":
