Corrupted Cartridge Fixer Release

[JugJug]

It seems smash bros is a common cart to fail out. I was pretty confident my cart would be repaired as it’s is great condition it just sat for years without being played. I ran the repair last night and connected it to power but unfortunately the surge protector was switched off and I didn’t notice. The system lost power and now I’m seeing a lot of hash stuck around the time the system would have shut down.

I did notice it repaired the logo appearing on the top screen, this would not load previously, but the game still did not launch. Verification fails almost immediately so I’m not confident it will he able to repair anymore, especially after reading similar behavior from other users.

I will continue to attempt the repair today and let you know my findings. It will be interesting to find if the game will load at all and if so what data is corrupt.

Unfortunately my cart could not be repaired. There are too many hashes stuck around 10% and also many that happen closer to 100%. The utility did repair the cart to where it can actually load into the main menu but I’m not able to load a stage. It’s really a shame that 3ds carts require maintenance while N64 games that are almost 30 years old are still working fine. Thanks for your work on this cfw it is a great tool to have access to, I’ll be keeping it installed and verifying my other games to try to extend their life.

Just fixed my copy of Pokémon Omega Ruby with this. Before it wouldn't even show on the home menu or standard GM9. But now it boots and is playable with no issues

My Smash cart is unfortunately too far gone as well. (What a shame! It's my favorite 3DS game).

And in my case, as yours, the tool was able to improve the situation a bit. I can even play a few games. It always crashes when I try playing Classic mode, but there are other situations as well, though I couldn't identify other clear patterns.

My other physical games have no issues for now, but I'll be sure to keep an eye especially on Omega Ruby which is another title that keeps being mentioned here!
