EDIT: SOLVED THANKS TO @andytjm

Here's the solution if that ever happens to anyone:
-In your Nintendo 3DS folder, there are 2 folders which names are a bunch of random numbers and letters. The biggest one is the backup one with all the games.
-Inside this big folder, there may have once again several folders (I had 3 folders because I tried to reinstall my EmuNAND twice, but you may have a different number of folders here). The biggest one contains all your games, and the most recent one is linked to your EmuNAND. So you just have to move the files from the biggest one to the most recent one.


Hello everybody! Today I set up an EmuNAND on my little sister's 2DS.
Here's exactly what I did:
-I made a full backup of her SD card (including her Nintendo 3DS folder).
-I made a backup of her SysNAND, copied it on my PC, and formatted the EmuNAND using GW's launcher.
-I unlinked the NANDs by formatting the SysNAND.
-I made sure that her EmuNAND was the same as her original SysNAND (I even tried injecting the NAND backup on the EmuNAND).
-I then put back the Nintendo 3DS folder on her SD card, and I was surprised to see that all the applications she had on her home menu did not show up in the EmuNAND, so I tried opening them through mashers' HB launcher (I had this problem once, but that was when I changed my EmuNAND's region), but even here nothing appeared.

I tried restoring her NAND backup to SysNAND but it still didn't work.

Help me, GBATemp Kenobi! You're my only hope.

She had 300+ hours on her Pokémon save and now she's yelling at me because I destroyed her save... What can I do?

Delete the Nintendo 3DS folder, and copy it over again from the backup.

I had this problem. Check if the folder with all the letters and numbers has created a new folder inside with lots of letters and numbers. If there is two change your original one to the new one. Make sure you backup first just in case.

You have probably left the SD card inserted when you formatted sysnand, making all the data sysnand-related unusable
Nope, I am sure I ejected the SD card before formetting, and even if I kept it inside the 2DS the backup should work...

EDIT: I figured it out. I did what you said backwards at first then did it the right way, deleted a junk file in the emunand system settings then everything popped back up again. Thank you so much for this!

    That Dell data breach is worse than people probably realize....

    When I worked for Dell we had access to data about military contracts and addresses for high ranking people.

    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    I always thought that capcom shuffled the games in these collection, but apparently they are all in chronological order, which makes legacy collection 2 worthless
