Used the M3's soft reset feature, and the ROM and Savegame both had parts overwritten with junk. First 0x1400 bytes of the savegame got killed. I had another save slot from 4 hours before it though.
Obviously, you can't just make a new savegame and copy everything past the 0x1400 byte mark, it doesn't work that way thanks to checksums. ____________________ |

| Doesn't the DS have its own built-in soft-reset? Guess you'll have to use it next time. :\ ____________________ =================== [Posted by NightKev] |

| I can't imagine a checksum used for a video game save is going to be that difficult to crack. Zero Mission's was just a simple 16-bit sum. |
