Alright. I'm at a loss here. I have tried EVERYTHING I could to get the oo3dshax onto my new 3ds xl and I clearly am doing something wrong. I've followed and rewatched a video thanks to just passing by. I've managed to get the homebrew kit onto my sd. But between backing up my animal crossing new leaf and trying to get the hax or i'm guessing hacked game y powersaves keeps failing to restore as I will show you on a snapshot. I've tried the files for the new 3ds xl for 10.7 and 10.6. I've tried watching another video with a slightly different tutorial but powersaves still fails. I don't have the game Zelda game that both videos used or can affored it right now. I also saw another video about downgrading to 9.2 and it seems I need that or two other games I can't affored right now.
Never used powersave but the version of oot should not matter, make a backup of the current save on the cart then apply that name to your save and try to restore

I must not be understanding.. I know that I've tried just putting the cartridge to powersave then backing up. I got that.. Then I put the file into my saves folder and I did rename it from the original backup and delete the original but then i tried to restore it doesn't restore..

What do you mean you're not using the game that the videos had?
