Hi,

yesterday my brand SD Card (SanDisk Ultra 64GB) lost its partition table. I was able to copy all the files via recovery tool back to the SD card after formatting it again in FAT32. Now the 3DS does not recognize the installed games and contents. my home menu shows up empty. homebrew works fine, but the installed games (3DS) are not showing their icons and the theme is the default one again.

How can I fix this?

best wishes!

Are there two different ID 1 folders?

SD:/Nintendo 3DS/<ID 0>/<ID 1>

where ID 0 and ID 1 are random hexadezimal numbers.

no, I just checked.

UPDATE: After reformatting again (this time in 32Kb Cluster size) and copying the 50GB to the SD card again, it now works. Strange.

    truth be told, i agree with psi, i dislike both candidates, but i'd probably vote trump simply because the economy was better during his presidency

    Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.
