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, I tried following the Single System Method but I'm running into a major problem.

I'm using an 3DS XL with an 8Gb SD Card inside, plus an R4i SDHC Gold Pro 2020 with a 1Gb microSD card in it. Both cards are FAT formatted.

I cannot run SafeB9SInstaller using the select/start/X button/power on with magnet method, and I've tried it multiple times.

The 3DS XL can no longer read the flashcart at this point. I did all steps correctly when I was flashing the ntrboot, but I'm not sure if I went wrong at this part:
.
.
.
10. select INJECT FIRM to install boot9strap into your flashcart
11. input the given combo key to confirm
12. Press A to continue
13. Power off your device.

Are we supposed to wait for a loading bar after pressing A and powering off? I waited for a few seconds and there was none, so I proceeded on to step 13. Was this where I went wrong? If so, how do I restart this whole process and reflash the R4i flashcart?

My 8Gb SD Card root currently contains:
+Nintendo 3DS
- boot.firm (renamed from SafeB9SInstaller.firm)
- boot.sdxc (from Luma3DS following the hacks page)
+ boot9strap (from the Bootstrap link provided in guide)
++ boot9strap.firm
++ boot9strap.firm.sha

How do I launch the Bootstrap installer?
In the worst case scenario, how do I reflash the flashcart to restart the process?
