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• Modding Implication: Users attempting to hack their 3DS using outdated guides or tools that relied on the old format of unfixed-info.bin encountered errors.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.
