My entire Nintendo 3DS folder on my SD card disappeared all of a sudden a few months ago, and I haven't used it since so I don't risk overwriting any data (if it's still there). I just turned on my 3DS one day and it said it was making new HOME Menu data for the card, I hope it didn't ruin anything. I also tried to "recover" the card with Windows when it told me about how something was wrong with the card, but it didn't do anything.

Does anyone know a good SD card recovery tool I can use to get my files back? Thanks.

Also, the card is a legit 16 GB SanDisk microSD that was properly formatted to FAT32 when I first started using it, maybe around a year ago.

I looked that up and people say it's mediocre and just undeletes stuff that is marked as deleted. Is there anything more serious out there?
I'm thinking ddrescue but idk if it's solely for recovering drives or if it just makes a complete image of the drive, I wouldn't know how to extract my data from the image if that were the case.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
