Hardware Restore old profile?

[ieuan]

I gave cracking my 3DS a shot a couple years ago. I still have my profile data from back then on my SD card, in SD:Nintendo 3DS/85c9ec112..., alongside my new SD:Nintento 3DS/d67dd789...

As far as I understand this profile got switched when I did my previous attempt, which basically created an entirely separate 3DS OS on my system. I don't have a full backup of my system from before that, but I do have a seemingly intact data folder.

Is there any way to restore this, and alongside it all the game data? If I simply try to copy over my game saves they show up in games as corrupt, the save manager 3ds.guide had me install and the AC:NL save manager do not see the 'corrupt' save file either.

The only reason I would love to be able to do this is because my AC:NL save file has a city on it I played with my brother, girlfriend and I while my girlfriend was pregnant with our now-3 year old daughter, and that's something we just never get a chance to do anymore. It would be very nice to be able to see the things we had in there and remember the good times.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

sorry bro it cant be done (that is assuming the 3ds was ever formatted ex: emunand you gotta format to "unlink" it [and you said you did the hacking years ago so it likely had an emunand])

Understandable. What about just restoring the AC:NL save file?

did you back the save file up individually if not it's hard or even impossible without the ability to actually load the nand you would need to locate the game by his ID number, then hex edit the
Save

I have the .sav file from my old profile, but no way to actually load it into the game. According to someone on Reddit there is a way to fix it but I've had no luck with that so far. Seems like all options require a save editor to load the save and dump it, but the only save editor that works with my payload is JKSM. Apparently JKSM checks something in the save data that save_manager did not?
