It was cleared and then could be run but it wouldn't open my game file.
I've returned to using my old version.
Last night I moved on to something else, I tried to get homebrew on my 3DS to import a cartridge file for use with PKHex but it didn't work.
Most access points were supposedly patched and no longer usable and the internet browser QR code methods errored.
I just wanted to shiny-ify a Rowlet in Moon because I've been soft-resetting without success (or screwed it up at least one of the several times I dropped my 3DS in the middle of scrolling through the cut scene which gets me the 'the game card came out' error even though it never actually does) since I got the game about two years ago (I know I'm absolutely ridiculous but I MUST have the shiny Rowlet, it's just so beautiful!).
I didn't get around to checking my 3DS software version and read it doesn't work with some so perhaps it was that.
I think I'm gonna give in and get Powersaves for this one. I'd been holding back not wanting to pay $20 for one cheat but I'm gettin' tired of this.
