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.

There are still many bugs in your application.
Under "Flashcard operations":
You can leave the boxes blank, klick check and it says that the flashcard can run on 4.4.0-10.
When you select a "SD Drive" without SD card, enter a old firmware (i.e. 1.0) and a old EOS (i.e. 1.0), click check, tick the box and klick update and klick ok, it'll display a error message.
If you select SuperCard DSONEi, enter at Firmware and EOS "1.0" and klick check, it'll say
"this flashcard can run on 3ds firmware: 4.4.0-10
firmware update available
EOS update available"

/edit
when you enter a larger number than the latest update at C:\3dstool\data\version.txt, it'll display outdated!, please update.

thanks for noticing. The program is updated and it also supports SD card formatting and 2 different kind of r4iGold kernels.
