Corrupted Cartridge Fixer Release

[Starboi]

This completely fixed a sealed copy of code name steam I got! Thank you so much for this. Had to run it through 4 times but it's working like a charm now

Is there any similar repair tool for NDS game cards?

DS cartridges are completely different from 3DS cartridges in this regard. So, no.

Got it, thank you

Hi! Thanks for the tool first of all!

I'm going through the, likely futile, attempt to revive this faulty copy of Persona Q I got sold as a working copy. It was pretty cheap so I don't consider myself particularly scammed.
Anyway, it's been like this for a couple of hours. Stuck at 0% but the current hash does change after some minutes. Should I perhaps let it run through the night or should I just give up already?

I think you running the risk of permanently damaging the cartridge is low, as it may very well already be dead like you suspect. That being said, maybe clean the cartridge with a fine cloth and isopropyl alcohol?

I'm not too worried about permanent damage since I can't play it currently anyway.
I'm more wondering if I should just stop it or just keep praying it works over night lol

As for alcohol, I didn't try but it looked VERY clean so it didn't even cross my mind tbh

Try the 100 refreshes version (which I just added to the github release).

That said, if it's stuck at 0% for so long, it might be a goner, unfortunately.

Hey, thanks for replying back.

I left it running through the night and it stayed at 0% but at least now the 3DS Home Menu is able to show the icon of the game. It now gets a "Game Card could not be read error" but that's better than nothing, I guess.

I just tried the 100 refreshes version and it's already a million refresh count and still stuck at 0% so my hopes are basically zero right now. I imagine Persona Q games with their factory issues are just too faulty to be repaired.

I appreciate the tool! Thank you!
