I have the most recent .sav file (attached to this post) from my unmodded o3DS XL from before my microSD card had succumbed to hardware failure about 6 years ago. Now that Pretendo has come into public beta, I decided to homebrew my o3DS XL in hopes that I could actually recover the save file and play it online (when they get around to building support for it). If it helps at all: I have not done a system format I still have the original (though corrupt) microSD card My copy of ACNL is the original digital release that has received the Welcome Amiibo update, and is not the re-released ACNL:WA game Things I have tried: Pasting a copy of the original 00000001.sav file back into the "title/00000000/00086300/data" folder and attempting to run the game Doing the same thing, but using FBI to delete the secure value before running the game Importing a copy the original 00000001.sav with Checkpoint and JKSM Using ninfs with my moveable.sed and boot9.bin to decrypt a copy of the save and then retrying the above sequences Download Save3DS, but the program doesn't even open on my computer Run a copy of the original 00000001.sav through some converters online to turn them into .dat files (one specifically for Pokémon, one for VC games) to try opening it up through the online ACNL save editor which requires a garden.dat/garden_plus.dat Trying the above steps on my homebrewed n2DS XL Uninstalled and reinstalled the game through the 3DS's data manager Uninstalled and reinstalled the game with its ticket through FBI Attempted the prior sequences with and without the Welcome Amiibo update patch Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.. Even just knowing if I'm completely boned from experienced users would give me solace in knowing that there was never a chance to get it back in the first place. If it isn't possible to recover the whole save file, I hope it's at least possible to recover information like my Dream Address, villagers, and so on; that way I could at least use the aforementioned save editor to earnestly try to recreate my town.

Just wondering, why?
Also, it’s safe to update CIAs, although it doesn’t matter anymore since online servers are no longer up

Online service no, you can still update via eshop.
