Playing with Gateway 3DS 3.0.4, under EmuNand GW3D 9.5.0-22E
After a session of play, I pressed home and closed MH4U.
My intent was from what I understand of Gateway, to make sure the save is properly writted to the SD card so I won't lose everything. I do this roughly every 1-2 day.
Except this time the popup 'closing application' stayed on screen for a long time (more than 5 minutes), so I turned off the 3DS, thinking, in the worst case scenario, I'm going to lose everything since yesterday.
Except when I turned back on, the game said my save was not readable and he wanted to format it.
Seems like I lost 180 hours of playing.
My questions are: The save file is 512ko and appears 'normal' at first sight. Is there any way to fix the damaged part?
Or, can I format, then 'copy/paste' part of the data so I can try to recover at least my progression, or my inventor? I know PowerSaves has codes to change the inventory items, and other stuff. I do not have a powersaver, but can I use a Hex editor or something? Shouldn't that be possible?
I can deal with losing my entire inventory... my awesome palicoes and collection of epic charms... but I really don't want to do all the village/hall quests, farm and food again.
Worst case scenario, can I use someone else's save (G1 rank preferably), and use it after changing the hunter's and Palico's name? (I want to play online so I use .3DZ extension with an injected header. Does that modify the save in any way?)
