id like to disclaim that im not very computer smart, so if theres an obvious solution that im missing i will accept all verbal beatdowns as long as im told what that solution is lol. with that being said i would like to be explained to like im five.

previously i had a 128gb sandisk ultra in my modded switch. i didnt realise when i bought it that id need more storage in the future and i wanted to save a few dollars, so now im upgrading to a 512gb sandisk ultra.

i have file based emunand so i copied over the files from the 128gb to the 512gb after formatting to fat32, but when i put it in my console, i got the error 2016-0247.

the card itself is being read isnt it???? since it boots into hekate from rcm payload, and then into atmosphere upon launch. but none of my games and software are playable, they all have that little cloud icon next to the games titles telling me the game files arent on the switch. opening the album into hbmenu shows the screen that says "nothing on the sd card make sure /switch is in the root".

im not sure if any files got messed up between the transfer because i left it overnight, but everything thing seemed to be identical while skimming through both cards, i cant be sure though. when i put in the 128gb everything is okay and working, only the 512gb has these problems. i dont think my sd card is fake, as i got them both at the same store and the 128gb is perfectly fine. ill check when im free and if nothing else works, or if someone really urges me to.

copying the files around takes ridiculously long, as in ive been copying and pasting for days because each try takes about eight hours, so i really want to figure out the problem here rather than continuing to manually troubleshoot. on that note does anyone have any tips for speeding up copying times? thanks :)

Are you sure you formatted the new card as fat32 and not exfat?
You could try to dormat it again using hekate but that requires that you copy over the files again. You could start with only flthe root folder, atmosphere, bootloader and switch folders. Then go to homebre menu and check if it can see the homebrew. If it works copy the rest of the folders and check your games

yeah ive been using guiformat to format to fat32.
tried formatting with hekate anyway but no dice. :/ i want to try putting together the files in the sd card from scratch but honestly im a little scared with my lack of knowledge of which file is what. ive only got so much time to figure things out between the stuff ive been made to study, so ill probably do that in early january when my school starts!!!!
ive been putting off testing the legitimacy of my card this entire time since the chances are so low and it takes forever but i think its one of the only things i can do from here that doesnt involve exploding my head lol.
ill update what happens with the sd card. if that turns out fine, im probably going to drop this for another month till i get the time. thank you for your help for now!

Archive attributes has probably been changed. While copying from SD 1 to SD 2, windows changed the file-/folderattributes for archiving without me knowing. When i turned it back off again error 2016-0247 was gone.

have to wait waiting on another slow copying time before i can try that. i think i used the tool in hekate that does that, before i asked on here. ill try setting them by hand when i can though. will update.
hope this works, thanks! :)

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
