Hi skawo, thank you for developing this Corrupted Cartridge Fixer software! I could have never guessed that this kind of thing was possible!
In the past few days, I have been using the software to try to repair my copy of Pokemon Omega Ruby. I bought it (complete in box) in March 2015 in a secondhand video game store. Starting in December 2018, whenever I played that cartridge, the game would boot but crash about one minute later.
Here is how the Corrupted Cartridge Fixer software went :
-First, I used the software "normally" (no Select mode). I let it run all day and all night, and it stayed at 0% the entire time. It looked as if there wasn't a single correct "chunk" on the cartridge. Sometimes, I would skip a chunk using the Y button, and other times, the software would be able to fix a chunk on its own. Eventually, I started seeing the "Chunk OK" message more and more often.
-Then, since the software was still at 0% after so many hours, I stopped it and tried again with the Select mode. It looked promising, since there were more and more correct chunks (the software once again never progressed past 0%, though)... until the 3DS crashed (= the refresh count, current hash and everything else froze). I tried starting the software again (with and without the Select mode), but the 3DS crashes almost immediately every time. As for the cartridge, it doesn't even boot anymore (I get a message saying that the cartridge cannot be played).
So, what happened? Is there any remaining hope of salvaging my Pokemon Omega Ruby cartridge?
Thank you very much.
