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.

Problem with my Gateway 3DS XL

I bought a 3DS XL almost a year ago, with 9.0 firmware. I successfully installed the Cubic Ninja exploit and everything was working fine, and great.

I stopped playing my 3DS for over 6 months now, and just yesterday when I tried to start it up again, I would get to the menu with the red dragon, and when I click on Gateway Menu/Mode, the screen turns black and would basically freeze. The only way out would be to hold the power button down to do a hard reset.

Now, what could possibly have gone wrong? I didn't touch the 3DS for 6 months, it was sitting around with the battery drained, so theres no way it could've done some update. I am still on the 9.0 firmware. I used the diagnostic to check if the red card was fine and it passed.

I don't know why it would stop working all of a sudden if nothing has changed?

What should I do to solve this? I'm thinking I should start over and "resetup" my system as if it were new? Or is there a simpler option or something easier?

Thanks
