It worked!! I was able to restore my original 3DS backup data stored on my PC. I forgot to say thanks for replying so quickly to my question, so... thank you! Checkpoint is great; being able to backup my Gen 4 save files that I've had for 15+ years is amazing. I haven't felt this way since I bought a Mega Memory Card to backup my non-VC Gen 1 & Gen 2 games/save files! I don't like using hacks/cheats when I play, it takes all of the fun out of playing. So, it's great to have the peace of mind that my hundreds of hours of play time are backed up. Cheers!

Recently, I've seen a lot of shiny editing guides that are out of date ill be covering odds editing (Gen 1-5) Lets start out with Gen 1 (Technically Remakes) Editing Fire Red odds are as simple as downloading ShinyCC. This file editor only works on English Copies of the Rom. From what it says it works on the following games. Fire Red Emerald Ruby Next Gen 2. (Remakes) Now if you wanted to edit the odds of you getting a shiny in the original gen 2 games. All you would need is PKHex and do some breeding. (Shinies are determined by IVS in that game. Create a Shiny Ditto with Max IVS then breed) But In the Remakes were gonna have to do some code editing. Open CrystalTile2 Open the Rom in CrystalTile2 Then Click on the DS Then Select the Arm9 File and then Extract it. Open the Arm9 with a Hex Editor. (HXD) Ctrl + G and go to offset of 0x70080 Change the 08 Value to FF Save then add it back to the Rom Your odds with roughly be 1/256 (256/65536) Gen 3 Emerald and Ruby have already been covered in the first post within Gen 1 I would just recommend playing Emerald if you have it! Gen 4 I'm gonna assume you're using Platinum. Both Diamond and Pearl don't have as much Pokemon to find. You DO NOT need to decompress this file to edit the odds. Open your Platinum Rom in HXD Ctrl + G 0x79E50 Edit the Number 08 to FF 1/256 Chances (256/65536) Gen 5 (Black and White) Open CrystalTile2 and Decompress your file (More Detailed in Gen 2) Open the Arm9 File with a Hex Editor (HXD) Ctrl+G 0x13F0C Edit 08 to FF Save then add it back to the Rom. REMAKES Open CrystalTile2 and Decompress the File Open the Arm9 File with Hex Editor (HXD) Ctrl + G 0x18DF0 Edit the 08 to FF Save then add back to the Rom Thanks for Reading if you have anyone questions or think the guide needs to include this leave a comment and maybe I'll answer your question. I'm not the smartest when It comes to Hex Editing. If their are any errors please let me know!
