Ok, that looks good. Do you have Tesla Menu installed? If so, you should be able to press the left shoulder button (L) + the down dpad button (D) + press down the right joystick button (RS) all at the same time to get the Tesla Menu to pop up.
How do i check this? As the thread of tesla did not mention this. I downloaded all the files and put them into the root and the overlay files in the right folder. Do i have to install some other stuff for tesla? As i mentioned i never used it before so i guess i forget/missing sth. Ty for your patience!

oh, never mind. I see it in your pic here:
You’re good.
Next, please make sure you have the following folder:
/atmosphere/contents/420000000007E51A/
this is nx-ovlloader
it will Look something like this:
if you have that, reboot your Switch.
once it’s up, press the following combination all at the same time:
left shoulder button (L) + the down dpad button (D) + press down the right joystick button (RS)
Oh hey, that worked! My games aren't there, I may have done something wrong but that's not really a problem as I mentioned. Thank you so much for your help!
is there a safe way to get the saves from emunand to sysnand without getting banned or something like that?
i want to get my Fire Emblem Engage from the Emunand to my legit physical copy to sysnand so I can play online.

Sounds like your SDCard has corruption or your SDCard reader has failed. Let’s test via Hekate. Inject Hekate and Go to Tools USB inside Hekate and your sd card, plug in a USB cable from your PC to your Switch and attempt to manipulate the files on the SDCard.

if you have zero nsp or xci (piracy) installed on your switch and are only running Atmosphere and JKSV the risk is extremely low (nothing is 0% except for a 100% unhacked Switch)
does that match your situation or do you have some questionable items installed that we need to consider?
I tried to connect to pc via Hekate + usb but nothing happens (it makes a sound but I don't see the drive). I've never connected that way before though (usually use a SD card reader or DBI). Is there perhaps a driver I need to install or something?
Just noticed there is a UMS device that references a Hekate SD Raw USB device. But I don't see anyting in Windows explorer

I’m assuming the sound you’re referring to is your PC acknowledging you’ve connected a USB device.
Do any new devices show up in Disk Manager?
if you happen to have another SDCard you can format, we can try to mount that one instead (I‘m thinking your SDCard file system might be corrupt)
E: was your SDCard formatted as exfat or fat32?
E2: how large does it say that is? 30G? Or is it larger/smaller?
I think I might have an old SD card in a cellphone somewhere, so will try see if its big enough to try set that up. I'm assuming if that works we know the current SD card is corrupted? And if it doesn't, it possible the Switch's SD card reader failed? The card was FAT32. And I can see a new device pop up, but can't seem to find a size
My power is going down now for ~2 hours due to South Africa loadshedding. So I'll try again later tonight. Thank you for the help so far

No worries. There’s no need to set the alternative card up. Just need to see if it exports a file system properly. This will confirm our mounting methodology and if the old card won’t mount with a confirmed working methodology as proved by the alt card then we know 100% there is an issue with the old card. Make sense?
if the old card is indeed corrupt we will need to format it to fat32 using the partition tool inside Hekate.
but, before you format anything….
If you have critical game saves we can try to mount your emunand and see if we can export them and save the,...it’s worth a shot.
Aah I see. Thanks. Will try that later when the power's back on (I'm typing on my cellphone now). The SD card was still reading fine via a card reader earlier, so I think I should be able to copy what I need. But will test first and give feedback
All of my games are on the Emunand (I unlinked and deleted my Nintendo account from it too, the user that boot the games doesn't have any Nintendo Account linked).
Don't have any unlegit stuff installed on the sysnand.

Hi. I'm back. I managed to get the Hekate USB connection working. Seems it was a driver issue. If I disable and reconnect the UMS device driver on my pc it works. But I need to go through the process every time otherwise my pc doesn't want to read it. Anyways, I tested both my current and an old SD card and my pc can read both. Any suggestions on what to try next?
great, we don’t need your cellphone SDCard anymore so go ahead and put it back.
let’s double check yours SDCard w/ h2testw. It will take a while to run but will confirm/deny if there are any issues with the card.
https://3ds.hacks.guide/h2testw-(windows).html
running h2testw now. it did warn it can only test ~4gb of ~459gb (it's a 512gb card) for what it's worth.
I actually also did a basic new setup on the old card just now (using the Rentry guide) to see what happens. It launches into atmosphere + emulated firmware. so I guess that should at least indicate it's something to do with the new card and/or the files on it, and not the switch hardware?
Test done. Card seems okay:
Warning: Only 3789 of 459024 MByte tested.
Test finished without errors.
You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.
Writing speed: 4.99 MByte/s
Reading speed: 90.8 MByte/s
H2testw v1.4

Wild. I was really hoping to find a smoking gun, but everything is coming back good. At least you won’t have to buy a new card!
At this point we should consider just formatting the SDCard with Hekate creating a new Emunand. Do you have game saves you want to retain and if so, how many do you have?
Okay thanks. I do have saves yes. I'm guessing there's probably quite a lot given that I've had the switch for a number of years (but obviously many of them won't be essential). Is there an easy way to copy them over? I seem to recall that they all manged to copy over when I migrated to a new SD
I'm starting the wonder of that game crash didn't mess things up. As the only thing that is still remaining on the card is the emummc folder (all the atmosphere and other files I have since replaced). Any idea if there is a way to find and delete the specific game folder and save to see if that works? (as my overall emummc is ~400gb)

Yes, the issue is file system resilience. If you were in the middle of a write and the system crashes it can leave garbage in the part of the file system that tracks where everything is. If it happens on your PC you will see it recommend running scandisk. It runs a process that cleans up all the shrapnel but even then there might be a few files that are orphaned. Journaling helps with this in that a file isn’t considered complete until it’s noted in the resilient journal, unfortunately FAT32 isn‘t a journaled Filesystem so you can end up where we are right now. unfortunately it’s the best we have on Switch because the exfat drivers are garbage and even more susceptible to corruption! Anyway, I’m rambling…here’s an article about it if you want to know more:
https://www.howtogeek.com/177529/ht...ble-drives-still-using-fat32-instead-of-ntfs/
Here’s a tut I wrote about recovering game saves from emunand (works w/ Sysnand as well) so you can see what ’s needed and the mildly tedious process to restore them after you reformat.

Now in to the rabbit hole with you and good luck! Come back here if you get stuck.

I just got a new PC, and TegraRCMGui and Goldleaf/Quark don't recognize it. This wasn't a problem on my previous PC. The Switch isn't showing up as a device now.
Do I need to install a driver on the new PC or something?

Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.+1 -

SylverReZ:
@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

SylverReZ:
They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+1 -

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
