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. :(

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
    K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2: Oh tootles
