As the title says the whole system restarted, as in went back to factory settings. I took the sd card out a few days ago to dump things with God Mode 9, specifically the Nintendo theme shop backup. In order to decrypt that though, I copied the movable.sed file to >Nintendo 3ds > Private. I'm sure the issue has to do with that. Either way when I turned it back on just now with the SD card in, the luma password still worked and so did the splash screen, but it now goes to console setup. I REALLY don't want to lose everything, as it's been modded for a long ass time. Is there any recovery, any sort of hoops I can jump through whatsoever.

It normally copies movable.sed to sd:/GM9/out why did you change it if you did?
Anyway, you have to check if sd:/Nintendo 3ds/32id folder is in there that's what holds your data, if it's wiped somehow then your hit out of luck. Copying Movable.sed to Nintendo 3ds folder shouldn't cause this, but it's better to move it elsewhere anyway.

This is what's currently in the Nintendo 3ds folder. I'm aware there are multiple more than typically but that's due to some homebrew modifications. Even so I've had these on forever and it worked beforehand. What should I do and also where do you recommend I move the .sed file?

Probably when you first installed cfw, when you backed up the first folder the 3ds created a new one (cause it didn't find any) and when you put the old one back it wasn't used..
If you're using 3dsbank that's normal to have more than one.
Even so I've had these on forever and it worked beforehand.
Having more than one shouldn't be the issue. tbh i have no idea how this could happen, could be an sd card/ corruption issue, i don't remember if you said your sd card was tested with h2testw or not, but if not, now's the time. Obv backup your data beforehand, empty it and then do the test. If it passes it, format it as FAT32 32kb clusters and copy the stuff back, otherwise it's faulty and shouldn't be used.
where do you recommend I move the .sed file?
Sd:/Gm9/out

Check those Nintendo 3ds folders and see if there's still data inside and that they're not empty for any reason.

    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
    +1
  • 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
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    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
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    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.
