Maybe something's wrong if it is modded? Or maybe try cleaning the pins on the cartridge with isopropyl alcohol
The issue isn’t due to moisture or corrosion. I had to insert it a few times to get the 3D icon to show up, but after it did, the game hit an unknown instruction due to corruption inside the cartridge memory.
Id would rather go with save game corruption than the rom being fucked tbh..
This is also, afaik, not the official sdk crash screen but dont quote me on that one
I don’t think I have any saves 🙂
The issue was with the .3ds file that resides inside the cartridge. It failed the verification check unfortunately.
