OK unfortunately I think LumaUpdater somehow screwed up my MicroSD card. I am not sure how, but here is what happened.

I was on Luma 5.4 without issue. I periodically check LumaUpdater, and I noticed 5.5 came out so I updated it. Rebooted and I got a black screen. This is weird because this never happened before.

I tried to put the MicroSD card into my PC and it will not read it. It shows up as unreadable. I cannot even format it in Windows disk formatting tools. It is not my SD card reader because I tried 5 different readers and 2 different computers.

I held the Y button to enter EmuNAND9 and it says "EmuNAND: SD not ready" even though the microSD card is in there. Interestingly, right below that it says SD Storage: 36046MB / 60894 MB so it is acknowledging the card is there.

What the heck happened? Could LumaUpdater seriously have screwed up my card this badly? Am I really going to lose all the work I put into this thing for the past 2 months or so? Please if anyone has any idea of what I can do, let me know. I really hope LumaUpdater didn't destroy my emuNAND partition somehow :(

Great CFW except I have one problem:

When I try to activate the "Enable developer features" nothing happens. I have downgraded with the dev nand pack, have test menu and debug mode enabled in the Config app, but when I activate this, I cannot even get into the home menu without test menu and debug mode enabled :/

Do you have write protection enabled (SD card lock on the side)

Nope. It has nothing to do with write protection. It's a microSD card and I also tried a microUSB to USB adapter I have and that isn't reading anything either. I tried it on several PCs. And other microSD cards work on it.

What could LumaUpdater have done to my card? :(

Its because you need a decrypted Bootrom or it doesn't work

Does it show up in the storage manager of the computer management tool? If not the SD card just died and it is - most likely - just coincidence and not star updater's fault.

It shows up as G: but it says "No media".

I would think the card fried too, but it's a genuine SanDisk and only a few months old which makes it kind of unlikely; also the fact that it was working fine until I restarted after updating Luma. Also a reason I think it might not be "dead" is that I can read the available storage space in EmuNAND9. Help!

Again, does it show up in computer management under storage management? Go to control panel - > administrative tools - > computer management - > storage manager. Check if it shows up with Any partitions.

It does show up as G:. But it says "No Media". So it has a drive letter, but that is about it.

Hello There.
I have a original cart. I just want to extract it's save and inject to a .3ds game not .cia game.

I tried to google it but find nothing could help me.

It's simple : I need to use "save" with a .3ds game with SKY3DS PLUS.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii

    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?

    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.

    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
