Ok, so for some reason Windows sees the emuMMC partition on my memory card as a partition it can actually access (and the really weird thing is that normally with USB drives it only accepts one partition but the emuMMC partition is after the data partition.) Unfortunately, when I was trying to update Atmosphere I accidentally extracted to the wrong drive letter and it started putting files on that partition. I suppose this must mean that it overwrote several megabytes of the emuMMC and upon booting the Atmosphere payload I received the error that package2 is too big or too small. Now, unfortunately, I do not have a backup of my emuMMC (yeah, I know, I know.) The current version of Atmosphere is approximately 16 megabytes once extracted, but I think I managed to catch it before it did the full thing (still, I have to count on it at least being close to that. I forget exactly where it stopped at.)
Now I noticed on the eMMC it's possible in Hekate to backup all those partitions separately without having to backup the full GPP and if you go to restore it it will only restore the ones that are present which I presume means it's possible even to restore those without having to restore user or system (is the database of installs/etc in user or system btw?) However, if you switch to emuMMC mode it grays out that one specific button! I had hoped since my eMMC and emuMMC are on the same base firmware version I could backup and restore just the necessary partitions (since it only should have corrupted a few megabytes or so) but it only would let me do this with the boot partitions and not any of the rest. The closest I could do there is a full raw GPP restore. I don't know if this would work anyway since the emuMMC was formatted and the prodinfo cleared along with 90dns so it could hopefully go online relatively safely in homebrew so things may not really line up the same without just restoring all those partitions including system (which is why I wonder if the database for things like install would be in the user partition or system partition.) I couldn't find any other tools that would do more than Hekate in this respect
I'm really hoping I don't have to lose everything on the emuMMC and have to redo it. Not only is it a lot of work to redo, but I'm worried about losing saves and such since the last backups (I'm a bit better about backing them up) plus most of those are games I have on both the eMMC and emuMMC (ex Breath of the Wild which I play modded in the emuMMC and obviously unmodded in the eMMC) so I worry a bit about conflicts even potentially. If at all possible I'd like to save it without having to start over. Is this possible?
