I have this peculiar problem that i cant seem to find an answer to even after searching everywhere.

I have been playing my games on the sky3ds on my 3DS XL for a long time now. i have bought a new N3DS XL just recently. While the sky3ds works on the N3ds XL, the saves are corrupted only on the N3DS XL. when i place the card back in my original 3ds XL, it reads the saves fine.

I don't think this is a problem i can fix, but i have genuinely no idea why this happens. Any ideas why? it would be nice to play on both 3ds rather then be limited to one.

That's the first time I've heard of this. It sounds a lot like the issues people were having when updating a 4.x console with Gateway on it to 9.x, or moving between two different consoles with different sysNAND versions, all saves for 6.x+ games would be "corrupted" because of the new save encryption key added in 6.x+.
I doubt your problem is related though. I assume both consoles are on stock OFW?

Actually, I forgot to add that the N3DS XL I bought was already modded with a9lh by the previous owner. I didn't plan to use the mod so forgot to take that into account. I am guessing that could be the reason? The 3DS XL is not modded.

Did you try tampering the problematic savefiles with jksm on the n3ds (export them and reimport them, maybe that works?), as well as restarting the card?

try exporting them with svdt or exporting them and reimporting them into their respective digital versions. If booting the digital game throws the corrupted error, try reimporting them again with jksm (extract from the digital game and reimport it again)

I have a theory that it could be due to the updates of the game being different. I updated my games with the e shop in 3DS Xl while N3DSXL was updated with freeshop. Maybe thats causing the corruption?

I fixed my problem, seems like i needed to change the region to USA with locales and also enable patching in luma3ds.

Thanks for the help though!
