I'm staving it off for as long as I can until such time as I get these questions answered intelligently (come on, people! I know how 'tempers commonly are, so let's make an effort here). Preferably answered by people with first-hand experience in the art of SD necromancy.

I managed to backup the main Nintendo folder, but only AFTER scandisk pinched a LOT of data from god knows where and put it into a hidden FOUND.000 folder (which I ditched as forever lost).

1.) Can I just pick up the pieces from this point on, keeping the good data and resetting only the "bad" corrupted data? Or do I have to man up and accept the fact that she's gone forever I lose 'errthang everything?​
2.) Please tell me I get to keep my Streetpass Plaza progress. Please.​
3.) I don't mind re-downloading everything else from the eShop, but does this mean that progress for all of those games are gone forever? Forever and ever?​

EDIT: I know what I need to do, reset the Data Management software from the System Settings, but I want the above questions answered first.




Okay, the scenario here is that I was converting a video on my laptop, a most wonderfully vivid consummation of love and passion between two incredibly gorgeous ginger females and me a man, with the intent of it gracing my 3DS Album (artistic purposes). Meanwhile, I was playing Heroes of Ruin offline, oblivious to the conversion progress. (NOTE: SD has not been touched yet).

Behold! The game greets me with a message "SD card cannot be accessed. Extra data cannot be created." or some such prattle. Scandisk to the rescue! Well... no. Just scattered the files from wherever they came from and dumped them all in one place, with no hopes of putting it back together again. Screw that, just gimme what's left. So copied what's left to my laptop, Panasonic SD Formatter, then copied em right back.

So far my Streetpass Plaza is still intact, although it did ask me to reset, with a "Caution!", which I tactfully denied, keeping my achievements and Puzzle Swap progress and all Miis in existence.

I still have a few DSi titles as well, although some have disappeared. 3DSwares, Game Previews, and Demos are all gone though, along with Ambassador titles.

That's pretty much about it. Pretty long post, but I've made it so it's at least fun to read. So... help?

(Oh yeah, video never even made it to the SD card. It was all in the mind... think I jinxed it?)

Well, I want somebody who experienced a corrupt SD card problem to answer the questions I outlined in the first post. I know what I need to do, but I want things confirmed first. Who knows, somebody here might have done steps where they were able to save data on some apps/games.

I hope somebody answers soon though, as I've got a LOT of downloading to do. I miss Swapnote already. :(

    I just recently picked up a n64 from a garage sell, and looking to mod it and add a HDMI port to it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3548173115...044&customid=4f3038da73b61afddf7e5e90f4153856
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'd like to find a power strip and HDMI selector built in 1 unit, so I can select which game system I want, and will switch to that hdmi, and power on that plug/power supply only, so don't have all game systems powered all the time, but can't find anything like. May just have to make something myself.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Maybe start a kick starter page and sell them, yea right. Big N would prob C&D me, not anything Big N related, but just because that's what they do nowdays. Then come out with they own in a year or so.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nice. Which operating system are you installing?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, windows 10 and some linux distro like linux mint
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    dualbooth
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Yeah, I'd recommend having another OS just in-case you want to play games.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least Linux doesn't contain spyware than what Windows has.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, cuz of lag?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No. Whenever you use the internet on Windows, Microsoft collects personal data and installs bloatware that isn't necessarily needed, such as Edge.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Speaking of which
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ,
    I recall @impeeza mentioned some trick about not having bloatware when installing windows where you set up your country to "world" or smh like that

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Yes, you can debloat the operating system, but in some cases for me it just reinstalls them.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ,
    I also recall my brother downloded a "non bloated" version of windows 11 on his pc

  • impeeza @ impeeza:
    @Xdqwerty yes, when you are installing Windows on the first steps you are asked for your current location, you MUST to select «international» so no bloatware is installed, because the bloatware is location based. if this night I have some time I will setup a VM and take screenshots.
