Homebrew Homebrew game Homebrew Switch doesn't recognize installed games after formatting sd card

[BlademastrBergi]

Hello everybody!

I need your help witch my modded switch. I have a 120gb sd card full of installed games, with only 10gb free space left. Yesterday I had to format my sd card from exFAT to FAT32. So I copied and pasted all its data to my laptop before deleting and formatting. After formatting, I only pasted the necessary CFW (atmosphere) data and no games, because I wanted to test my switch first before waiting so long. I saw, that all my installed games were shown, but of course I couldn't start any, because they were installed on the sd card and I haven't copied the game's "resource files" yet.

After that, I pulled all the remaining files to the sd card, so mainly the "Nintendo\Contents\registered"-folders. But unfortunately I still cannot launch any games. When starting any games, the switch tells me that its data has to be downloaded from the eShop.

Is there a way to kind of "link" the booting data from the home screen to the game's resource-data in the "Nintendo\Contents\registered"-folders? Or any way to launch all my installed games like usual without reinstalling?
Because I don't have enough free space on my sd card any more to copy the old nsp-files again and re-install all of the games.

I am currently running switch firmware 12.0.1 with atmosphere 0.19.3.

Thank you in advance and greetings from germany!

Did you use a Windows computer or a Mac to do the copying of your Nintendo folder?

Or maybe you could try to reinstall using Awoo-installer. That way you don't have to copy over your NSPs to the Switch.

Even better, use TinWoo. It's got all of Awoo's functions, plus it can install directly from a USB external hard drive. That's the only way I do it now. Super convenient.
