My sd card corrupted and I’m currently trying to retrieve data of some games if it’s even possible but I’m going to do the whole process over again. Do I actually have to do all the system nand backups again , because I still have those saves. I’m just wondering what is essential and what isn’t so I don’t waste time
Sorry for your loss. Answered over here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/switch-noob-paradise-ask-questions-here.488277/post-10023389
Ok quick question. I just finished using Recuva and it’s shows all of my files as unknown. How am I supposed to know which ones are game save data or emmumc

These are all the highest size files on there. Could any of them be game data? :/ What is usually mp4. files?

Correct…once you’re certain you have backed up all your saves you need to “fix” the SDCard by wiping everything and reinstalling from scratch. MOnce you get to the point of reinstalling games and homebrew you will want to get an initial ga,e loaded and JKSV installed and THEN finish the import of yiur game save.
Rufus will help you format a non-bootable FAT32 /32k block size SDCard.
Not necessary, if you already have them but they take literal seconds to redo. Cutting corners will open the door to miss something. If you miss something you will spend way more time trying to troubleshoot. This is just me having some tough love for ya. Right here, baby!
I am stuck on the guide you sent me. I am told to copy text into the bootloader/hekate_ipl.ini in my sd card, but there is nowhere to but the text because they are just normal folders

If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds+1 -

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 -

Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option+1

For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display+1

So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total

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.

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.

I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start

But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
