This is one reason why emulators are absolutely essential to keeping older games alive.

Maybe something's wrong if it is modded? Or maybe try cleaning the pins on the cartridge with isopropyl alcohol

[-] rounding_error@lemmy.today 14 points 1 month ago

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

[-] rounding_error@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

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.

Since this is a crash of a hacked 3DS I'd love to see how it behaves on one that isn't (not saying the cartridge isnt borked but I haven't seen that on 3DS so far).

There def seems to be an issue with Luma. I put my system to suspend with a physical game inside and it ran into some error I couldn't read fast enough

No idea what is up with it. Hope it's not the internal eMMC that's a problem.

Do you want me to pass this on to one of the luma devs?

[-] rounding_error@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

No that’s ok. Not sure what kind of bug report it’d be. Anyways, the issue is 100% with the cartridge. The GodMode9 fork says this game has a high failure rate.

[-] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

That sucks. First time i hear of game carts failing :(

[-] THE_GR8_MIKE@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Allllright. Time to use Godmode9 to backup literally every single DS cart I have from my childhood.

[-] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

Can't recommend it enough. Nothing beats having your own "real" saves from childhood in the convenience factor of modern emulation.

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

Shit. I have my games backed up to an sd cause mines also modded but i still use the cartridges cause its just so fun.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

SD-cards have lower quality flash and no error correction. Better create a backup or at least plug it on all few months.

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah i keepcother backuos as well its just where i usually have the newest saves. Im alsocparanoid about it so i swtich sd cards often.

[-] Anivia@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah, my Wii U also died because the Nand got corrupted from not being powered on for over a year 😔

[-] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

But that crash screen also appears on unmodded units? Maybe it's your emunand that's corrupted? Try to remove the SD card and boot from nand

[-] rounding_error@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I’m using the fork of GodMode9 that has a cartridge fixer and the Poké X cart definitely fails the integrity check. Also, for some reason this specific game among a few others will fail prematurely. The solution is to simply leave the fixer on for a few days.

In the meantime I’ve just pirated the game.
