hi :P I'm new here, and tired, so I'm sorry if I've messed something up! I recently bought a copy of My Secret World for the DS from a second hand store. It's a diary game aimed at tween girls, I enjoyed the idea of using this random game as my actual journal so I bought it. When I opened it on my 3DS, there was an existing save file (last opened 26 December 2013), but I couldn't access it because I didn't know the 4 digit PIN or the security question. I tried a bunch of super common PINs (like 0000, 1234, 9876 etc) but no luck. I erased the file (my new diary is going strong, it's actually a fun little game), but before I did I saved a backup with Checkpoint of the original save. I'm curious if there's a way of getting around that lock, without just straight up brute forcing? Is there anything I could use to look into this more? Honestly I'm most interested in the process (if it can be done) than the actual diary.

Help on 3DS prices...

Hello, I like handhelds and Pokemon so I am of course looking for a Nintendo console I can buy. Naturally I had gotten the latest console back in 2018 but my experience was less than stellar because of a plethora of reasons(stick drift, patched console, bad pokemon games!!). Lately though I've kind of fallen in love with the 3DS, It just looks so cool and innovative and had a great game library too not even mentioning the modding community. It being an extremely old console I'd expected for it to be cheap but Its like 300 bucks. I can kinda see why, its a great console and I guess something happened for it to be relevant again. But I want to get this console nevertheless so I wanted a bit of advice on what to do. Should I buy it now since the prices will continue to rise or is this just a trend and shoul I wait for the prices to lower again? Many thanks.

Hey everyone!

I want to share something I’ve been pouring myself into: a big overhaul of the Gen 6 CTRPluginFramework — a .3gx plugin for Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire on the 3DS (via Luma3DS).

I’ll be upfront: I’m not a programmer. I’m just a curious player who’s good at testing and thinking hard about problems. Every feature here started as a real itch I hit while playing — “there should be a way to…” — and I built it out, piece by piece, in back-and-forth with Claude. The goal wasn’t to make the most powerful cheat tool; it was to make one that anyone can actually understand.

What that means in practice:

Every feature is named in plain language, and every single option has an info (i) button that explains it.
There’s a 23-page guide built right into the plugin, written like a guided tour, not a manual.
The whole UI is available in 7 languages: English · French · German · Italian · Japanese · Portuguese (BR) · Spanish.
One .3gx serves all four Gen 6 games — it auto-detects which one you’re running and loads tailored content.

A quick tour of what’s inside (you open everything with SELECT):

Wild Pokémon Spawner — a live, filtered list of every species; pick one (form, level, shiny) and it appears in the grass.
Respawn Legendary — sends any legendary back to its real location.
PokéMart Anywhere — a real shop in your bag, with a FREE mode and a PAY mode (prices, cart, checkout — you can never overspend).
PC Box ++ — your boxes as a visual sprite grid, with a full tabbed editor (IVs/EVs, moves, ability, item, ball…) — all picked from on-screen lists, no keyboard typing.
In-Battle Tools — Enemy Helper coaches you on the foe (what beats it, stat-by-stat compare), Change Party Stats edits your team mid-fight, and Display Enemy Stats overlays hidden data.
Teleportation — warp to any town/route/landmark (full Hoenn + Kalos maps), plus your own saved warp points.
Mini Game Corner — a little arcade of 7 games (loot boxes, slots, prize wheel, stat duels, a random team generator, and more).
Quality of life — fast text, fast walk, walk-through-walls, instant eggs, a configurable on-screen HUD, 25 color themes, Favorites, rebindable hotkeys…
Complete Professor Oak Challenge guide built in — the full Oak Challenge walkthrough (by Mewlax) lives right inside the plugin, so you can follow the entire living-dex run without ever leaving your game.
