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.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    What's the point of "confirming" games you know will get released. Like Nintendo "confirming" a Zelda sequel. "We can't be sure Nintendo is working on a new Zelda game, or if a new Zelda game will ever be released, until they officially confirm it."
  • Veho @ Veho:
    "There is literally no way to know if they will ever release a new Zelda game, it's wild speculation until they officially confirm it."
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
