Legend of zelda a link between worlds crashing
I thought of a possible theorem for the crashing:
If the emunand is booted 100% correctly it will always save correctly
If the emunand is not booted 100% correctly (for whatever reason) it will crash when returning to the home menu.
how to check if the emunand is loaded 100% correctly:
When loading the save you could collect 1 rupee (gem) then save close and relaunch the game (If it crashses emunand not booted correctly)
If it doesn't crash emunand booted correctly (so relaunch the game and continue playing )
Methods:
Reboot emunand: Power off/on 3ds and start gateway normally
Checked emunand: Checked the emunand using the method above
Justins test 1: Save in game like normal then press the home button NOT EXITING OUT OF THE GAME wait 10 seconds then power off.
Justins test 2: Save in game like normal then press the home repetitively and then exit out of the game
Justins test 3: Press home and close as fast as possible

To Summarise:
Checking emunand was the only 100% successful saving technique. I would strongly recommend
I think all of justins methods have the same reliability as rebooting the emunand
If the emunand is booted 100% correctly it will always save correctly
If the emunand is not booted 100% correctly (for whatever reason) it will crash when returning to the home menu.
