[QUOTE="Red771, post: 8947738, member: 383314"] Hello. So, the microSD card of my New 3DS XL got corrupted yesterday and I need some help restoring a few files. It's a Samsung 64GB Evo Plus (formatted to FAT32), but it was bought on AliExpress (for the same retail price as on Amazon), so I'm not sure if it's a genuine one. Anyways, I had over a hundred hours worth of in-game saves, so I would very much appreciate some help. [Backgroud about how it got corrupted] The microSD card got corrupted after I copied over two CIA files/games to it. I was copying the files from my phone over USB-OTG to the microSD card but after the files finished copying, the files size of the copied CIAs were showing as 0 Bytes (even though I refreshed the folders several times). And then after a few minutes, the phone stopped recognising the microSD and was prompting me to format the microSD before it could be used. So i connected the microSD to my PC and same result; Windows told me to format the drive before it could be used. So I opened up Minitool Partition Wizard and it was showing that around 59 GB pf the microSD was unallocated and only 16MB was partitioned(!!). I tried to use a program called TestDisk to try and recover the lost partition, but no success. Then I tried to use a (paid) software called EaseUS Data Recovery to recover the lost partition... and BAM!!...all my files have been recovered successfully (Yay!). The name of some folders/files were in full Caps so I renamed those correctly to lowercasing letters, no big deal. But the part I'm having problem with is that despite the fact that all my files were recovered, the EaseUS program was not able to identify the directory of certain files. I manged to correctly place the simple ones like the "boot.3dsx" file and the "boot.firm" ones, but there are 2 files that I don't know the location of, can anyone help? (See attached images) [ATTACH]196467[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]196468[/ATTACH] So, does anyone know where I should place these "ROM.BIN" files or can I ignore them? [TL;DR] 3DS microSD corrupted. Used EaseUS Data Recovery software to recover files. Most files were recovered in correct directory. Need to identify the directory of 2 particular files. (See attached images) PS: Although I've been a member on GBATemp for a few years now, this is my first thread (I usually find most of my answers by searching the forums, but I have been unable to find anything this time).
