I simply lost everything, I even tried to back up the save from an old Nand backup, but there's nothing there, please someone help me with this...
I'm having problems with my Mii Plaza since I Homebrew'd my console and changed the SD card (I put EVERYTHING to the new one in FAT32), whenever I go to Mii Plaza the console asks to update it and when I do it just does a new game from scratch and there are hundreds of Miis I don't know, can anyone help me? I have a backup from before the problem and I would like to extract the save to put on my current SD card
tbf it's not like anyone responded to that nearly 20 days ago.You already asked this question. Do you think providing less detail is more likely to get you help?

Does that mean it was working after you installed CFW but before you "changed the SD card"?
Installing CFW does not normally affect installed data so you are going to have to give a LOT more detail before anyone can help you.
Based on my quick research, it appears JKSM is capable of handling the backup/restoration of Mii Plaza.I simply lost everything, I even tried to back up the save from an old Nand backup, but there's nothing there, please someone help me with this...
Checkpoint's configuration has to be edited before it can access NAND saves.I haven't tested/seen anything regarding Checkpoint but I would imagine/hope that works as well.
Unfortunately none of that is especially relevant to extracting save data from a NAND backup. As you say, it is difficult to make suggestions without more details regarding the set up.I'm not sure how set up you are since Aug 25th so I'd advise one of the following.
To maintain current setup;
Make New Backup -> Restore Old Backup -> Install JKSM -> Backup your precious memories -> Restore New Backup -> Install JKSM -> Restore precious memories
To nuke new setup;
Restore Old Backup -> Move on
Do you have a vastly superior method to utilizing CFW to allow a save manager like JKSM access?Unfortunately none of that is especially relevant to extracting save data from a NAND backup.
I'm expecting the same. I experienced corruption after I transferred my data for the first time, three years after using a default 4GB SD Card.It sounds like its almost possible corruption of the save file itself from what they went on about in the previous thread. I wouldnt be surprised if there aint nothing of value that can even be restored from the save data.
Oh, by "make new backup" and "restore old backup" you're referring to making a new NAND backup and restoring the old NAND backup. I was not clear on that. Apologies, I guess that's not so unrelated.Retrieving meet.dat from the functional backup is the goal here, is it not?
It's also possible to manually retrieve files from the NAND backup on a PC using ninfs, but that is not as straightforward.As far as I know, my suggestion is the last ditch effort.
