I posted this in a thread, but it appears it was overlooked, and I'm pretty desperate at this point so I figured it couldn't hurt to make a thread. Would anyone be able to help me figure out how to run JKSM?

To provide some background, I played Sinking Sapphire (a ROM hack) and it overwrote the Save key (I think that's what it was called?) of my real Alpha Sapphire which was also on the same SD Card. I need to use JKSM (or a similar program) to delete the Sinking Sapphire Save Key so that I can go back and play my old Alpha Sapphire save file with all my shinies/progress/event legends etc. I am having trouble figuring out how to get this working/finding an alternative. Do I really have tamper with my 3DS and use a Gateway just to run .cia files?? If so is there an alternative to this program where I wouldn't have to? Also, I'm using Freakyhax to access homebrew on an Old US 3DS version 11.0.0.33 if that helps.

I'm just trying to get this straight. Did the save file itself get overwritten or is it just complaining the save data can't be used?

Sorry, Save Data cant be used is the problem. I redownloaded a second copy of AlphaSapphire which I patched to SinkingSapphire, so I didn't overwrite the original, I just overwrote the Save Key the system was using.

    @BigOnYa, I said it ran poorly with vm

    @kijetesantakalu042, Depends on if your PC could do it. There are settings to use the CPU natively and adjust the graphics memory which does quite improve it a bit.

    Just look at the amount of SteamDeck nerds out there that know how to use it ;O
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Plazorn, and I don't think my PC has a wsl
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It has a hamster
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    But why go through the effort of having Linux inside of a VM, whereas you could have a multiboot installation or replace your pre-existing OS with Linux.

    @SylverReZ I have all of the speed options enabled. Also 512 gb ssd pain

    @Xdqwerty, It requires installing an update to enable WSL in Win 10/11.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Only thing I gotta do with this laptop is put in a 2tb ssd came with 512 🤮

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, I might just try it on a live USB and then install it with multiboot
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    I only have one ssd slot
  • Izanagi_No_Okami @ Izanagi_No_Okami:
    @K3Nv2 Can you switch SSD in laptops? I thought they were soldered in most of the times
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    Maybe it'd be faster if I didn't use kde plasma
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    @Izanagi_No_Okami, look at specs before buying usually says emc or something

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Or on board storage
  • Izanagi_No_Okami @ Izanagi_No_Okami:
    @K3Nv2 Didn't know that, thought they were always soldered in
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Nah just depends on model and manufacturer

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Izanagi_No_Okami, You can, but best to look at the specs before buying them. Some have eMMC chips soldered to the mobo that you cannot remove without hot air, and unpopulated SATA ports.
  • Izanagi_No_Okami @ Izanagi_No_Okami:
    @K3Nv2
    Yeah makes sense, not an expert on laptops
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Best to spend an extra 200 on upgradeable slots
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'd still be happy probably you can't find a 4050 6gb laptop for 500 that often
  • Izanagi_No_Okami @ Izanagi_No_Okami:
    @SylverReZ Kinda sucks, I
    'll keep that in mind for when I'll have to buy a new laptop for my mom.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Just watch a review on YouTube 80% chance someone's taken it apart
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, is it fine if I use this program to try a live session? I see it's discontinued https://www.linuxliveusb.com/
  • Izanagi_No_Okami @ Izanagi_No_Okami:
    @K3Nv2 Thank you, I'll keep that in mind
