So this guide only works for version 9.0.0 through 11.3.0 and my 3DS is on 11.5.0. (I also don't have 2 3DS's) What do I do?


You can use ntrboothax using a compatible DS flashcart and an old DS/DS Lite, by the way. If you're willing to wait, more flashcarts will be made compatible eventually.

If you don't have an old DS/DS Lite, powersaves support should happen in time, you can get those on amazon for a price cheaper than a second hand DS phat/lite.

do you have a link with a guide on the powersave option (My old DS broke long ago). Also what do you mean " powersaves support should happen in time", I mean I am willing to spend the money IF I need to but I don't want to just go spend my money on random things.

EDIT: Wait is it possible to dump the save on my computer and if Blue's save gets corrupted then I can just restore it by copying the save back to my 3DS?

I mean using powersaves to flash ntrboothax to a supported DS flashcart is still being worked on.

Well it seems like this is a lost cause. I wish the 3DS's life wasn't over just yet or I had tried to do this a year ago.

Well thanks any ways :-\

NINJHAX has apparently been updated for v11.5, so that's an option to run a save-extract utility.
