Sounds like your save file is corrupted. When only the "New Game" option is present, it's a sign the checksum is invalid, which is a sign of corruption. Sky Editor doesn't do any validation and just fixes the checksum, which could be useful if someone makes manual hex edits to the save, but it won't do any other repair. Going forward, I recommend making periodic backups of all your save files for this reason.

Does this one work?

Done

Yes. Should be under NCSD Options on the file.

Probably a bug where Sky Editor's not flipping a bit or something. Maybe try Sky JEditor to see if it works better for this?

Username changed to Blue587. Unfortunately just Blue was taken.

IIRC that only dumps the encrypted part. You'll also need to select the output file and have GM9 fully decrypt it.

Of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games, Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon is the only one with region locked rescues. Recent discoveries have revealed the region lock can be bypassed simply by swapping around some characters, making it possible to convert US passwords to European passwords and vice versa. Project Pokémon is now host to such a new tool called Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon Rescue Code Converter, allowing players to convert a US or European code to the other. Gone are the times where an adventurer in need can only seek help from adventurers in the same continent, now we can all rescue each other as needed.

This can happen if the ROM you used when creating the solution isn't supported. Which game and region ROM did you use? And was the ROM fully decrypted?

Based on the screenshot, looks like you're using an old version. Please try the latest version: Have you started at the beginning of this tutorial?

If you create a CIA, installing it will replace any previously installed version, as well as clearing the save file. The recommended method is Luma's Layered FS, but the CIA method is fine too; just be sure to back up your save file first if you don't want to lose it.

Can you post a picture of what it looks like on the DS? Can you post what the error message is? After creating the portrait mod then editing the portraits, use Solution -> Build to create the ROM. Once complete, it'll appear in /Modpack/Output in the solution directory.

Editing story progress in the save file is currently undocumented as far as I know. The save file contains two identical copies of the regular save data, and if the first one is corrupt, the second is loaded. Note that quicksave data does not have a backup, and any corruption is treated as a defeat, as it would if you resume the quick save then power off.
