Copy the entire folder to your desktop. Name it MHP3rd_Backup. Never edit your only copy.
Warning: Always do this before editing.
Copy the entire game save folder (e.g., ULJM05800) to your desktop or a subfolder named BACKUP. If the editor corrupts your file, you can delete the corrupted version and restore this backup. Not all editors are created equal
Monster Hunter Portable 3rd is a masterpiece. It deserves to be played. If a save editor keeps you playing by removing the tedious barriers, then it’s a tool, not a sin.
Just remember: A hunter is measured by their skill with a Longsword or Hammer, not by how many Potions they have in their box. Name it MHP3rd_Backup
Happy Hunting, and enjoy the hot springs!
