Any way to copy save on cartridge and later bring it back to it?
If you have a 3DS with custom firmware, it's easy. Just used Checkpoint, it's designed for exactly this: https://github.com/BernardoGiordano/Checkpoint

Project mirai DX crashes upon selecting Romeo and Cinderella specifically. I've had this game on my console for years and this has mever happened. Any way to fix this? I REALLY don't want to lose all my S Ranks and Superhards :(
Save manager app, if you used 3DS.hacks.guide to homebrew it should be already installed (flag icon). Otherwise find it here

Need help with Mario Kart7, I already own it but I want to digitally download it......but
I can't remember if this specific method also copies your save game for you, so if the save game doesn't appear on the digital copy, you can use Checkpoint or JKSM to copy your save game from the cartridge to the installed version. You won't lost your save data.

Options to back up and write saves to and from cartridges and memory cards?
For DS/3DS, you can use Checkpoint on a 3DS to backup saves from carts.

Does PowerSaves work on ds cartridges?
3DS with CFW, using the Checkpoint homebrew. You want the .cia version. DS cartridges sometimes take up to 20 seconds to appear, but always show up at the top left of the icon grid. Backup and restore behave exactly how they do for 3DS games. This is the best and easiest way, do it if you can.

Just a friendly reminder to backup your saves. Regularly. If you can. And your save states.
On a 3DS with official carts you can use [Checkpoint](https://github.com/BernardoGiordano/Checkpoint) to back up *and restore* your DS & 3DS saves.

1080p/40fps on SD, better than my switch. DynamicFPS is amazing.
If you have a hackable switch that will get you going in the right direction. Then you need to use Checkpoint to dump the saves.
- can i transfer my save on a hacked switch to a clean one?
-
Nintendo is amazing, who doesn't love cloud-based saves?
A quick web search proves this wrong. If you own the hardware and have physical access to the data, you can always make your own backups of it. (And you should, if the data is important. Never, ever, ever trust a cloud provider to backup your data properly.)

What app does what?
To get checkpoint, go here and download the cia file. Put it somewhere on your sd card (it doesn’t matter where as long as you remember where it is) and then open FBI on your console. Click SD and from there find where you put the file. When you get to it press A and select “install an delete cia.” This will install it your home menu and then delete the cia so it doesn’t clutter your sd card (once it’s installed the cia isn’t needed).

HELP looking for cheats"inazuma eleven 2 firestorm"
I am currently looking for cheats to “inazuma eleven 2 firestorm” to get network exclusive items. I have found on this page https://github.com/FlagBrew/Sharkive/wiki/3DS-games-in-the-database and didn’t find any cheats most likely because these are 3ds games. Is there a site I can find games for the DS games and not 3DS?
