    Corrupted Cartridge Fixer Release

    Always use "verify signatures" for this. Sounds like your cart might have been very slightly corrupted, and then just doing the verify has pushed it into the clear.

    Corrupted Cartridge Fixer Release

    The verification does not work for N3DSXL carts (some upstream Godmode9 issue). Just use the fixer directly, not the lua script/verify option.

    Do you have Luma CFW installed on your 3DS? If not, first follow https://3ds.hacks.guide/. If you do, just download the .firm file from the linked page, and put it on the SD card into /luma/payloads, then hold START when powering your console on.

    Corrupted Cartridge Fixer Release

    https://github.com/skawo/GodMode9-with-Cartridge-Fixer/pull/1 "Add the missing size_exthdr guard before reading exthdr.name in the thorough ExeFS check (invalid read when the NCCH has no ext header)." Could be causing some kind if issue even though it was meant to fix one.

    Corrupted Cartridge Fixer Release

    Do try the Sleep Mode thing. So far I've had only two reports about it, and the first said it didn't work at all, so it's interesting you got a change at all.

    What's the purpose behind this change? Makes using GodMode9 really slow in general since I assume it reinitializes the filesystem every frame. The lua script seems to run fine without it?

    Hm, not sure. Try one of the earlier versions, maybe? Maybe the latest changes have broken something.

    Corrupted Cartridge Fixer Release

    Very useful research there! Just to make sure: Would you mind to have this applied to the repo (with credit)? One question that springs to mind now is whether there even needs to be a tool, then. Maybe just leaving the cartridge in the console on the Home Menu in sleep mode is enough, and then...

    Corrupted Cartridge Fixer Release

    The only reason you can see the corrupted icon is because it's being read and displayed by Godmode9. The OS wouldn't let you see that, and an actual game also wouldn't. I mean, if that chunk is already bad, then... ? There have been no reports of anyone's cartridge actually getting...

    Corrupted Cartridge Fixer Release

    If the game attempts to load an affected chunk from the romfs it will typically instantly crash (even if the game could technically handle the bad data). Some games appear to instead keep loading infinitely instead (Smash Bros.) You'd have to get lucky with what that chunk is part of to have it...

    Corrupted Cartridge Fixer Release

    Chunk size is not consistent (e.g the entire ExeFS is technically also counted as a chunk) Even 1 unfixable chunk can potentially make the game unplayable unfortunately. An option to skip a chunk appears after 500 retries of that chunk. You can also hold X while starting the fixer and it will...

    You can try running it a bit longer, but otherwise there's no much to be done, sadly.

    Corrupted Cartridge Fixer Release

    Well, unfortunately that might mean the cartridge is too far gone at this point to be repaired. The amount of time it takes to repair the cartridge depends on how corrupted it starts out.

    Corrupted Cartridge Fixer Release

    No clue. I personally would do it every couple of years, but it could be longer as you suggest. Don't have any data on how long the degradation takes to happen again now that the cart's been refreshed.
