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.

When I tried to dump a retail cart save with Savedatafiler in rxTools+signature patched, it gives me a 'export.log' with the following content

=== File Tree ===
/
+--srwux_backup

=== File Copy ===
CopyFile: save:/srwux_backup => sdmc:/filer/UserSaveData/20150612041856/0000078a/srwux_backup (244736 Byte)
[VerificationFailed: D900458B] File broken: [0x0000007C00 - 0x000000DBFF]
[VerificationFailed: D900458B] File broken: [0x0000012C00 - 0x0000036BFF]

I have also dumped my own retail cart and converted it to cia
I can import and run the cia successfully, but if I try to use Savedatafiler to dump save from the cia, same problem occurred.

Would anybody have any clues on what the heck is going on?
The title ID of the game is 078A.

Some more info:
I can import the save dump from retail cart to the retail cart, but not able to import it to cia.

I can import the save dump from cia to cia, but not able to import it to retail cart.

Tried to replace 'srwux_backup' in the save exported from Cia by the 'srwux_backup' exported by retail cart then import to cia, but resulted in failure.
