My games no longer appear

[AkiraXleb]

Hello, I need urgent help..,.

I was installing the game from tinfoil, everything was normal, there were quite a few games, the point is that when I finished and closed tinfoil, the console kind of bugged and all my apps had been deleted, but when I see the micro SD on the PC everything is still there but in The switch no longer even shows the games, I can access hekate and ulauncher but it doesn't show me my games

I don't use Tinfoil, but if your sd card was not formatted to FAT32, it is most likely corruption.

But it worked fine, without any failure, it happened when I finished downloading the games, it's weird because if I look at the sd is still with the same space that had ie nothing was deleted but it does not appear in the console

@AkiraXleb
Use FAT32 with 64 KB cluster size, period.

But if my card is already in fat32, I just want to know if it is possible to make the console show me the games again without formatting the sd and reinstalling all the cfw.

You could maybe try starting in maintenance mode once, then reboot in normal mode. But not sure if will help or not.
Maintenance mode start= from power off, press Vol+,Vol-,Power all same time for 3-5 sec

But I will lose all my content, right?

No you will lose nothing when starting Maintenance mode, it will basically just clear your built up cache only. Just boot into Maintenance mode (nothing else), then power down, then boot normal way to CFW.
Only other thing I can think of could be your sd card is failing. Good luck though!

Dosent work

May as well H2testw test the card if you never test it, back up your data before testing.

You know where the games are downloaded, I mean like the parent folder of a game, like when you install a game on the PC and you know where the folder for that game is, something like that but on the switch

All games are stored in the "Nintendo" folder but they are encrypted so you cant just read them from a pc. Best would be to try like @Hayato213 said. backup your contents of sd card to pc, then run H2testw test, if all clear then reformat to FAT32, then copy files back

That is super low speeds. Most sd cards on my PC read at 30mb/s-90mb/s. Oh well let it copy over, and take a nap.

I got bored of waiting then, I will reinstall the whole hack again and make backups every time before doing the installation of a game, manw and module

A1 card have about the speed of around 30MB/s and A2 card get around 90MB/s but it also matter if he is using an usb 3.0 port if he is using an SD to USB 3.0 adapter.

Could also be lots of smaller files transferring, hence the slow speed.
