Community:Deleting Adventure Log Data

Deleting Adventure Log Data can be a bit tricky in some games in the Mystery Dungeon Franchise. While some games allow the players to delete their entire save files, others only delete the actual world state and not the Adventure Log data.

This creates an issue for players who want the sense of accomplishment of filling out their Adventure Log and related achievements themselves, or who want accurate stats.

This manual will detail methods to overwrite data for the affected games, as there's currently no known way to do so under normal circumstances.

Back up your cartridge with Checkpoint, do so twice if you wish to keep a copy of the old save. Load up he game on either the flash card or a Nintendo DS Emulator. Progress to the point where it's possible to save the game, and save.

Re-insert the SD card into the 3DS and load up the checkpoint program. Restore your new save file to the cartridge to delete the old adventure log data.
