I have a Backup of my Entire SD Card from December 2018...
This was right before i upgraded from 32GB to a 64GB card...
The Backup became corrupted or something because when i try to copy it onto the new 64GB Card the Console will Not even turn on...
I have since reinstalled everything and my console works just fine again... (Yes, with the 64GB card)
However, I LOST all of my SAVED games....
So Today i downloaded Citra to see if I could try to "Emulate the SD Card" by using the Backup on my PC....
So far my 2 hours of searching have come up empty if this is even possible...
Everything i find wants you to dump the saves from the Console...
However, that will not work for what im trying to do, which is to see if those save files are actually corrupted or not, because the save game data is completely different for whats currently on my console and the data i have the backup of....
The whole point of this is just to see if those save game files that i lost could be salvaged somehow... After all, on my PC the entire Backup seems completely normal... Its only when i tried to load it onto the new SD caard and fire it up is where i had problems... Maybe it had something to do with the 32GB and 64GB cards having different Storage systems... (Yes i formatted the 64GB to FAT32 BEFORE i put the Backup files on there.)(Even doing that the Console would NOT even turn on when i tried. That is why i was forced to start from Scratch and lost 200+ hours of gameplay)
Because i would love a way to find out if i could just copy and paste JUST the save files onto my new SD card and have them work.....
I haven't just went ahead and pasted them onto the new card yet because i would hate to screw up my console AGAIN... It took me 26 hours to get it back to the point its at now... LOL
I just really really want my save game data back....
So is what i am trying to do even possible?
I am beginning to think that it is not....
