Thanks to your tool, my original problem was solved (cartridge game wouldn't boot, arm11 core 1 error), however the tool still points out two bad blocks (repeatedly tried to run the tool, apparently they won't get fixed). The "Verify" tool tool of Godmode9 fails as soon as it starts. Any tips there? And thanks for all your efforts!
Or hope that game have update which have files that game use in bad blocks...

Can you try the game on a different 3DS? If the tool says it's verified, then this could be some CFW thing.

I tried running it on my Fire emblem Echoes cart. At first it wouldn't even start but it did fix a couple of places it got stuck on so I was optimistic. I eventually got it to start and even play the intro movie. But it refuses to go further than the title screen and crashes every time. It keeps getting stuck at 85%, even left during the night. I think it's dead. Now, the positive side, having over 100 3DS games I ran every other game I had to verify and they are all good. I'll try using this every 2 years or so just to make sure. Well bummer, I guess I'll keep the cart anyway it's not like it'll get any more broken. lol Thanks for this program!

First of all, thank you so much for making this application. I've been trying it on my dead copy of Persona Q and after two passes I was finally able to launch the game for the first time. It crashed in the intro but another 3 passes got it to the title screen. Since then, I've done a total of 15 passes and so far, I cannot get any further than the title screen. The logs have been decreasing for a while but since pass 11 they have been bouncing up and down in the amount of corruption still existing on the cartridge. At this point should I continue until I see no change, or would I be at the last resort point of using it on every read?

Well, I'm not sure, then, but the problem is with the 3DS itself, not the game
I fixed it all I had to do was to delete the updates to I think it was just corrupted I'm talking about the Bowser's Inside Story I have not tried Pokémon Ultra Sun yet and thanks for trying to help me figure it out

Try running the 100 passes version I sent on page 10.

I ran two consecutive passes in a row in which the logs showed decreasing amounts of corrupted blocks left. I also was able to start the game past the title screen for the first time. The game still would fail immediately in verification, so I decided to do a third pass and now the log shows it has increased the number of corrupted blocks from when I started with the 100 pass version. Should I keep going with this or consider this a lost cause at this point?
