Hi,
My Son's friend started a new game on his Switch account for Breath of the Wild and deleted my son's progress (many many many many hours!). Annoyingly the switch has since backed this up to Nintendo online and wiped the backup, and Nintendo don't keep - or at least don't expose any historical versions.
Is there anyway to mount the internal eMMC as a disk some how and run a tool to scan the sectors for deleted files?
I know there is a low chance of recovering the file data - but I've had success with this in the past with removable media mounting to linux and running various tools on the disk - just not sure how to go about access the internal memory ?
I did check the SD card, but it doesn't look like there is any save game data on there.
Any way to maybe clone the NAND memory off the switch ?
And if it was possible, is it possible to re write that back to the switch - or are there lots of encryption, security measures in place to stop you messing with save game data?
cheers
Matt
