Unfixed-info.bin -
Title: The Ghost in the Machine: What the Heck is unfixed-info.bin?
- System Settings Crash: The System Settings app may open briefly and then crash with an error message ("An error has occurred...").
- Version Display Issues: The HOME Menu may display the wrong version number (e.g., showing "0.0.0-0E").
- The Issue: This update was significant because it changed the formatting of the region-specific information inside
unfixed-info.bin and CVer (another title file).
- Modding Implication: Users attempting to hack their 3DS using outdated guides or tools that relied on the old format of
unfixed-info.bin encountered errors. Modding tools (like SafeB9SInstaller or specific Frogminer methods) had to be updated to account for the new way this file stored version data.
- High disk usage (100% active time) – The binary write process can momentarily spike disk I/O.
- Long driver installation times – When the file is large (over 100 MB), the "unfixed info" analysis takes longer.
- Windows Event ID 2 (amdkmdap) – Related to display driver recovery, not the
.bin directly.
- Fan curve resets – Some users report custom fan profiles being lost after an update; this is because the "unfixed" data was not reapplied.
BINGEL header → Likely an acronym for "Binary Indexed Graph Element Link" used by JetBrains’ IntelliJ platform.
unfixed_info_state → Confirms the file tracks unresolved indexing states.
- Path strings (
/projects/myApp/) → Points to the actual project root.
