I'm at a loss for what to do here. This is basically what happened:
So now I basically have just the previously mentioned folders/files and that FOUND.000 folder on my SD card. Very strange that seemingly only part of the SD card became corrupt.
I'm guessing I'm pretty much screwed, but I figured I'd try posting here to see if anyone has any ideas. Pretty sad that I still have several GB of data on the card with seemingly no way to get it in a readable state.
- I'm using the latest version of Luma3DS (v12.0).
- Installed the 3DS port of the RSDKv5-Decompilation as a CIA.
- It worked at one point, but seemed to become corrupted after dumping the DSP firmware via the Luma3DS menu. The logo appeared when putting the cursor on it in the 3DS menu, but no title or sound, and it gave an error when trying to start, something about the SD card not being inserted (which wasn't true obviously).
- Went into Data Management in the 3DS system menu and it seemed to appear as blank and taking up 0 blocks. I attempted to delete it and after about 30 seconds or so it said it couldn't be deleted.
- Went back to 3DS home menu, showing the default white theme and all of my data not showing up.
- Inserted SD card into computer, still says that there's only about 5 GB left, which is how it was before, so I assumed there was no data loss. However, trying to enter most of the folders gives a File I/O error.
- Re-insert SD card to find that most of the folders and files are now gone. All that remains is the GM9 folder, the Luma boot files, and one extdata folder in the Nintendo 3DS folder.
- Run chkdsk which claims there are no errors but creates a 23 GB folder on the root of the SD card called FOUND.000, consisting of around 1500 files titled FILE(number).CHK.
- Attempted using programs such as EaseUS Data Recover, which mostly recovered a bunch of files with no filenames. The only discernible thing it could recover where the photos I took with the camera app (which are no longer readable by the 3DS due to the missing MPO files and the filenames being scrambled).
So now I basically have just the previously mentioned folders/files and that FOUND.000 folder on my SD card. Very strange that seemingly only part of the SD card became corrupt.
