How did you manage to make this work? I've been stuck in a crash loop since this morning and I can not get the ABXY trick to work so I referred to this. Even when I use a backup from far before I had this problem, I get the red or black screen followed by a crash that causes the entire system to restart. I am using a physical copy, if that means anything.
I'm wondering how it possible to use save restore without starting the game first?
And to prevent double posting, does anyone have any suggestions, actually? Because I am totally stumped and can not afford a new one. I had no problem playing yesterday and it wasn't until I tried to boot the game today that I experienced any crashing. I've had no problems with Marc's editor, the map editor, or NeoKamek's leaf tools before this and have always been very careful.
I'm actually trying to figure out what caused this crash. My town looked like this for over a week with no problem. (See spoiler)
All I did yesterday was use the ram editor to move all the villager houses one square forward and I added stumps to the top of the waterfalls because I thought it would be fun to slide down them. Then, in-game with Isabelle, I placed a metal bench near my cafe. I didn't think there would be any issues with those changes. (And since this town has very little development, there are almost no PWP placed.)
There are currently 8 villagers in my town, with one camper move-in that was either supposed to happen today or tomorrow. Any ideas of what I should change, assuming I manage to reset my game? (I don't know why ABXY will not work. I hold it down from the time I start the game.)
