So my micro sd card snapped, it's toast. I can get the system to boot up just find and was able to put basic luma+godmode on the boot, so I can see that stuff. But what should I do to truly restart?

Restore your lastest SD backup to a new FAT32 formatted and checked (h2testw or F3) SD card.
Thanks. Unfortunately I basically have to start from scratch. Ordered a new 128gb card that'll arrive today. Damn, my poor gb and gba game saves lol. Fortunately the only 3 shiny pokemon I ever found in my life (all last year) was on a soul silver cartridge

Damn, how the hell did you snap an SD card in half? I suppose if it’s a micro it’s quite fragile but still.
Well my super stable 3d isn't functioning at all and opened the back to see if there was any obvious cables no longer plugged in, loose ribbons, etc. When I went to put it back the part covering the sd slot was just a smidge over-covered. When I applied pressure it snapped the tip of the sd card somehow. It could no longer be read on the pc or startup the 3ds lol

Ouch, that’s unfortunate! My condolences.

Hope you have backup of your data.

I had it worse actually, got half of a sd card stuck inside a steam deck motherboard before, with the sd card slot end up not usable anymore.
Damn, no way to get it out with like tape or something? What happened to the system?

Have had the same some years ago and I never figured out how and why it happened:

Yeah, like the full Titanic snap-in-half issue didn't happen until I tried putting it in and out of my PC, then it fully died

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
