So my micro sd card snapped, it's toast. I can get the system to boot up just find and was able to put basic luma+godmode on the boot, so I can see that stuff. But what should I do to truly restart?

Restore your lastest SD backup to a new FAT32 formatted and checked (h2testw or F3) SD card.
Thanks. Unfortunately I basically have to start from scratch. Ordered a new 128gb card that'll arrive today. Damn, my poor gb and gba game saves lol. Fortunately the only 3 shiny pokemon I ever found in my life (all last year) was on a soul silver cartridge

Damn, how the hell did you snap an SD card in half? I suppose if it’s a micro it’s quite fragile but still.
Well my super stable 3d isn't functioning at all and opened the back to see if there was any obvious cables no longer plugged in, loose ribbons, etc. When I went to put it back the part covering the sd slot was just a smidge over-covered. When I applied pressure it snapped the tip of the sd card somehow. It could no longer be read on the pc or startup the 3ds lol

Ouch, that’s unfortunate! My condolences.

Hope you have backup of your data.

I had it worse actually, got half of a sd card stuck inside a steam deck motherboard before, with the sd card slot end up not usable anymore.
Damn, no way to get it out with like tape or something? What happened to the system?

Have had the same some years ago and I never figured out how and why it happened:

Yeah, like the full Titanic snap-in-half issue didn't happen until I tried putting it in and out of my PC, then it fully died

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    @SylverReZ It's short but adorable imo. Im a HUGE cat lover.Can be completed in a couple of hours if just going for the main goals. But can be stretched out a good deal by exploring and doing everything there is to do and see.

    So a man goes to the doctor because his boner wont go down. As he is laying in the hospital bed, with his thing propped up in the air, a fly is flying around and landing on the tip and bothering him, so he calls in the nurse. The nurse comes in, swats at the fly but can't quite reach it, so she climbs his boner to get better aim. After a few tries of swatting and sliding back down, she says sorry I cant get it. He says keep going, a few more tries, and I can shoot the fly down.

    Pepsi owns Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut, so that made since Pizza hut pizza was sold in Taco bells.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Pepsi, and it's companies, did not pull out of Russia like most did, even tho they orig said they would, so I boycott them. (Except when drunk at 2am and Taco bell is only place open.)
