so ive been experimenting in animal crossing by spawning more riskier things, like multiple town plazas etc and now my games data is corrupted and it wont let me delete it via settings. the game crashes when i press the home button too, i dont know what really else to say since its hard to explain, but please suggest ways i can get this problem to stop 😭 its a physical copy of animal crossing so if its unfixable its just toast, im really worried :')

#

nevermind.

its way worse.

i ended up uninstalling custom firmware

i was also able to fix animal crossing, but unfortunately i no longer have my progress

but i mean it was worth jt

messing with a save editor is always a risk, making save backups with checkpoint is good practice

#

also did you actually remove cfw?

#

or just the homebrew applications

#

W theme btw

i removed cfw cus i eventually found out it was a problem with the cfw and i couldnt find anything online related to my problem

Removing cfw isn't a fix

#

It likely wasn't a problem with cfw and a less destructive fix could have been done if you asked in the proper places

#

You could have done cartinstall to make a new save on sd card, or used jksm to wipe the save

#

You always back up a working save with checkpoint before doing edits, so you can roll back to it if edits break it

#

Your plugin was likely causing it, not the cfw

#

as i said, it was a problem with cfw

the cfw titles were glitching, two of them didnt even show up as the apps they were in the 3ds menu and just showed up as black squares 🤷 and i dont even know how to explain one of the other things that happened

#

Lost app icons isn't a cfw problem, it is an sd data problem

#

Both of those look like sd data corruption

#

Which is fixable. Removing cfw can break things, or take away your tools to fix them

like pointed out, it's probably your sd card going boom

#

i honestly dont even know anymorr 🤷 i removed the cfw cus i was panicking and didnt know what to do lmao

#

it was like um. 12am when i did it

#

you should probably backup your current sd card and get a new one

wicked basalt
#

alright

#

i dont rly have anything else on my sd card now considering the only games i have are physical copies so i dont rly know how making a backup will help me but ill try 💪💪

#

just copy all the files on your old sd card and save it somewhere on your laptop/pc

#

;p
