Hi, good morning/afternoon/evening or whatever time it is where you're living
I've recently had some big problems with my 3DS...or well, not so big, as its not bricked (yetGodIhopeitdoesnthappen), so first, a story about how this all happened:
Some days ago I was in a Discord server and someone talked about playing in our 3DSes, I accepted and gave them my friend code, and for putting their code I activated the internet on the console
Moments later, I decide to play on my R4 for some minutes, I finish and leave my 3DS for the night.
Next day, it doesn't boot up. I get very scared and then I look out for any answers. I come across one and I change the boot.firm file from the root of the Micro SD I use for my New 3DS.
It works normally now, but I check it again some days later, and now it seems like several files aren't working properly, the theme is now gone (it was a custom one, although all the ones I had actually bought or gotten officially were now gone) and several games aren't working, both injects and actual 3DS games I've gotten normally and through FBI
Also that most of the homebrew stuff doesn't work properly now.
I've tried to put all of the files of the SD on my PC as a backup of sorts buuuut
Some whole folders won't do so, and I think it's some very important ones:
The "3ds" folder
The "Nintendo 3DS" folder
And for some reason the "retroarch" folder.
I really don't know if this is because of my R4 or if because I activated the Wi-Fi or something
Right now I've tried using EaseUS Data Recovery as I saw in another thread but I didn't know how to use the program and I didn't want to fuck up lol
If this thread is like repeated or something please delete it, but I don't know what to do or if it's salvageable...
Some other people on a Discord server told me that my SD might be the problem itself but then I don't know why it doesn't let me copy those folders from above...
Thanks in advance if anyone reads this, hahah
I'll give more information if prompted.
