In JKSV, go to device saves (not a user) and Animal Crossing. Are there any backups listed there to be restored?
just the one that i had thought i had created, which turned out to be a 1kb passphrase.bin file.
i definitely go into the device saves (as the save game doesn't appear in any user profile as i believe the actual save file is saved in the NAND).
i just had a thought...i think the original base game that i installed was the global version (i recall seeing a lot of abbreviated languages in the file name), however the version that i reinstalled was the US version only. this may mean that the game ID number is different, and could be why the 222mb save file isn't being recognised as attached to the reinstalled game (global vs. US version). however, this doesn't address the point that JKSV doesn't pick up the 222mb file that i can see...unless it doesn't like global versions? would that even matter?!
one way to find out i guess! i'll look for the global base game and give it a go...fingers crossed!

If you don't have any real save files listed under the Animal Crossing device saves in JKSV, and you don't have any backups someplace like your computer, then you're probably out of luck.
If you have a NAND backup from when you had the Animal Crossing save file on your system, you could grab it from that.
i'm hoping that i can somehow access that 222mb save file i can see on the system (screenshot below) ... i just can't figure out why JKSV doesn't recognise it.
no such luck with a NAND backup - think the last one i created was about a year ago, and the gf has been playing AC loads since then!

If you cleared the game, you're still going to have a large save file with a new island. This blank island is only going to appear in JKSV if you back it up.
So i completely fucked up and erased some old save folder data by accident and then realized i did that halfway through. I had to use another old save from christmas eve to restore whatever i had from animal crossing. Is there a way to bring those deleted folders back? Mind you, i forgot to save my current save lmao

Sorry, it's gone. I guess adding some kind of trash bin feature/option is possible.
Hey guys who actually follow this at all. I'm not dead yet. I finally sat down after close to four months and did some work. The last time I really sat down and had time to work, I completely rewrote how titles are loaded and changed a few things. Over the next few weeks, hopefully, I'm gonna go through issues/requests I've gotten. I'm also not totally sure if I'm gonna roll with this or not.

I look forward to seeing the updated version of the app. Amazing homebrew, by the way. I've been using it since the 3DS.
Sorry guys, new UI isn't going to make into next release. New Pokemon Snap threw a wrench into everything. I don't want to wait until I finish the UI to release the fixed version. I'm gonna put up an emergency new release to get by for now, hopefully.
Small update. I'm still working on it guys. It has become more work than I originally expected. While implementing a slide out folder/file select menu, I hit a snag. The graphics file I wrote way back in the beginning has finally hit its limit since it's all CPU bound. The FPS tanked hard and I found it unusable. I'm writing a file to use SDL to handle graphics now. I just finished combining my old text drawing code with some newer SDL stuff and custom glyph cache. It makes a huge difference and still supports all languages the Switch itself does, which was important to me because people put in time to translate it to Chinese.
Gonna drop this here and kinda go silent for a little, probably. Text only mode is probably being dropped. There's still some things I need to consider. Favorites, blacklisting, deleting and displaying info like play time is probably going to go to another slide out menu since I'm constantly asked for more that others refuse/can't do, but running out of buttons. I'm using L and R to jump 12 titles at a time now. I might shrink the left menu and use icons instead if I can find something suitable for BCAT and system saves. Below the users is the Extras and Options menu. I hope they're easier to find that way. I'm open to suggestions or feedback. I know it's only a video, but I can't really drop it yet. It doesn't completely function and I know people will miss that part.
I was thinking the same the other day. I'm planning on shrinking the left and using icons for users and system stuff, and making the right panel larger while shrinking those icons. It won't be 32, but a bit more than it is there. You can use L and R to jump up and down the list too, which you can't in the old one.
Only problem is I'm not an artist, so expect some sweet toddler level MS paint icons for system and bcat.
Hey guys. So, it's still early and missing some stuff and the extras are completely MIA for now. One of the things I've never liked about how I wrote both 3DS and Switch is that when you backup or restore a save, they lock into a loop that reads/writes and just sorta draws that dialog box so you guys don't think it froze and crashed. Well, one of my goals for this was to not do that anymore. I've had some issues with ZIP files and the threading system I wrote. I think I've gotten it straightened out today because I can't seem to get it to lockup anymore, but I'm not 100% sure it can't happen. I'll leave this here if anyone is up for some dangerous testing/checking things out. Keep an extra good backup somewhere safe. If you have a freeze restoring or backing up to ZIP, let me know. Menus are kinda messed up right now and don't scroll right. I'm aware of that.
I'm gonna go pass out now. Thanks, bye.

It's taking a lot longer than I originally expected. I'd call it a partial rewrite at this point, really. It's close though, I promise. Before I get going today:
- Almost everything has had smoothed out scrolling added to it. Using old JKSV UI actually feels odd and jerky to me now.
- A setting had been added for animation scale. 1 which is instant to 8 which is really slow.
- All users and all titles are now loaded at boot, not just the ones with saves found.
- Saves can be created and extended within JKSV now. I was working on this a while ago but didn't really have a way to integrate it into the UI at the time.
- Journal space is used when deciding when to commit now instead of what libnx's documentation says. This fixes commit errors with a few games.
- Folders and ZIP files are checked correctly now to make sure they have contents before any actions are performed which fixes an issue JKSV and variations of its code have had since 3DS. Your save won't mysteriously get wiped if you accidentally try to restore an empty backup once the new UI is finished.
- Probably more but I have to get going.
I'm confused by what you mean exactly. If it's a save, you should be able to restore it to emu or sys nand. I removed the actual NAND backup a long time ago.
