    Corrupted Cartridge Fixer Release

    Funny you should mention Checkpoint. I have a copy of omega ruby that is pretty much dead. It recognizes the game, but it refuses to load. The fixer doesn't progress at all. I used the nintendo save data transfer tool to transfer the save from the dead cartridge to a digital copy of the game...

    Corrupted Cartridge Fixer Release

    Yep that's the one. Perhaps pirating wasn't the correct word (wrote that while tired). I meant to say 3rd party cheating hardware. The powersave thing is meant to edit save files.

    Corrupted Cartridge Fixer Release

    Unfortunately I have a copy of Omega Ruby that was too far gone to save. I tried opening the cartridge to reflow the chip with my hot air pencil, and it didn't help. It's stuck on EXEFS, and the current hash stays mostly the same... and changes every minute or two. I'm going to let it run a...

    Corrupted Cartridge Fixer Release

    Hello, I made an account specifically to thank you for making this piece of code. It saved my copy of Pokemon Y, which was so badly messed up it wouldn't even let me get past the intro screen. Now it seems to work just fine. I purchased the game on ebay because I wanted to own a legit copy...
