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.

Hello everyone,

I recently got myself a Gateway (and am very happy with it) though I mostly use it just for the emuNAND functionality for the time being. I've bought both Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and Pokémon X so I'll be busy for a while anyway.

I noticed Nintendo now requires you to link a Nintendo Network ID to your 3DS to use the eShop properly, so I was about to link my Wii U NNID to my 3DS when I stumbled across the following warning in the setup process:

"You cannot link a Nintendo Network ID to multiple Nintendo 3DS systems."

This made me wonder: if I'd ever mess up my emuNAND or have to recreate it for whatever reason, will I still be able to re-link my NNID? I suppose this wouldn't be an issue if they just keep track of the console IDs but it made me consider creating a separate one for my 3DS, just in case.

Another option I considered was copying the emuNAND partition off of the SD card and storing it somewhere, but that raised the question if it can actually just be copy/pasted and if the NNID link will be preserved.

TL;DR: Can I safely link my Wii U's NNID to my 3DS on emuNAND, or would it be more wise to create a separate one? Is backing up the SD card perhaps an option?

EDIT: Aaaand I've just noticed the "ask 3DS questions here" thread. My sincere apologies
