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.

I need help configuring NTR's plugin creation setup.

So I've been wanting to take advantage of NTR's plugin feature, so I am trying to setup the compile proccess for creation of the plugins but all I ever get is errors once I try (I'm on OSX):

Whale:~ AgentMoose$ cd /Users/AgentMoose/Desktop/ntr_helloworld-master
Whale:ntr_helloworld-master AgentMoose$ python build.py
rm: obj/*.o: No such file or directory
rm: bin/*.elf: No such file or directory
sh: arm-none-eabi-gcc: command not found
sh: arm-none-eabi-gcc: command not found
sh: arm-none-eabi-ld: command not found
cp: *.o: No such file or directory
cp: a.out: No such file or directory
sh: arm-none-eabi-objcopy: command not found
rm: *.o: No such file or directory
rm: *.out: No such file or directory
sh: copy: command not found
Whale:ntr_helloworld-master AgentMoose$

This is the build.py file:

#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
import os
import ftplib
import glob

# the path plugin was copied to
COPYTOPATH = '/Users/AgentMoose/Desktop/hello.plg'

LIBPATH = '-L ' + DEVKITARM + '/lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/4.8.2' + ' -L ' + DEVKITARM + '/arm-none-eabi/lib'

def allFile(pattern):
s = "";
for file in glob.glob(pattern):

return s;
