Yeah, maybe corruption. Glad we’re on the path to format everything anyway. This is probably why things mysteriously went sideways to begin with. Time to break out the big guns…

Here are two tools to try and back things up:
1) MiniTool Partition Wizard <- attempt to make a bit-for-bit copy of the entire sd card.
2) Unstoppable Copier <- copy everything and don’t stop for errors.

If these don’t work…we’re pretty screwed, in which case you should mount you SDCard with NXNandManager and copy the /USER/saves (these are your game saves) and we:
  • format with rufus
  • reinstall Hekate/Atmosphere/SigPatches
  • reinstall games
  • restore save games (From backup above)
Hey man, just created some backups of my SD card which took almost a full day since my hdd is super slow. I also succesfully formatted my sd card using rufus. After this I installed Hekate/Atmosphere and the sigpatches.
Is it perhaps better to start with a completly new emunand instead of my old one to prevent any problems from happening?

Also do you happen to know what caused my switch to act so weird? just so i can be more carefull in the future :)

And i can't thank you enough for all your help I don't know what i would do without you. You're a lifesaver! ;)

Best I can do is a comic strip with Swahili sub-titles.

Kidding aside…must it be a video?

Seems you can just download a save file that‘s already knocked on Bethesda’s login page and then you can play offline forever. Sourcing a file now…
i have the fix file and the game but where do i put the fix file ?

I believe it’s a game save file where some brave soul went and did the initial login w/ Bethesda and then stoped the game and hit save.

Try importing “PlayerData” with JKSV. The worst that will happen is it will say it‘s not a game save and refuse to import.

You can use you old one if you’d like and if it doesn’t work out we can repartition again. You’re getting the hang of it now and can start doing the backup/replace/restore dance. You can also just make a fresh copy and then use NXNandManager to export the game saves you’d like to keep. I personally like a fresh slate. :-)

Using exfat (instead of FAT32) or files based emunand (on exfat is the worst) instead of hidden partition. It could have just been luck of the draw. I backup my entire SDcard to another identical SDCard every 2 weeks or so and switch cards…this way I only lose 2 weeks worth of work at worst.

No worries. Just start at the top, 1, 2, 3…3 is where the action starts.

the places where you will need to make a decision you just chose the following:

You’ll make a new Emunand by copying your Sysnand.
Create/Restore a NAND backup

When you get to the CFW part you will want the section called:
Set up Atmosphere with EmuNAND on Erista (Unpatched)
question sir?Im on the formatting part but im hesitant to procced since i don't know the option to choose, the the boot selection, what will I choose? (NOn bootable,FreeDOs, Disk or ISO) after choosing the option I procced to start Em I right?

We’re all just good people on the Internet helping each other out, my friend.

Non-bootable will work for our purposes.

So it is. Wow. as it turns there might be some prior art from @mathew77 over here:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/doom-do...t-cache-saves-add-ons-without-devmenu.573122/

What is the name of your file? Is it a “cache save/add-on”?

Might want to try Checkpoint
the fix - is called player data but thats on the pc . ive tried to use goldleaf - to usb - cant get that to run the tinfoil 13.00 isn't working to usb - so im using awoo + usb loader .. check point dont show it up ether the doom game

You shouldn’t need to use USB (except you want to use Hekate UMS to export you sd card over USB)

I have reason to believe PlayerData works on Checkpoint:


| READNFO Notes : |
| |
| It seems Bethesda had the smart idea to make a 1993 game online only. |
| Luckily for you, here is a modified savegame that skips the Bestheda |
| mandatory authentification. |
| |
| Extract and import 'PlayerData' into your current savegame with your |
| favorite savegame tool (Checkpoint or Devmenu can do it). |
| |
| This game does need to have your NSW account linked to Nintendo |
| (like some other games). You can skip that by either editing |
| control.nacp yourself or use that homebrew to add a default |
| linked account to your NSW. |
| |
| Enjoy!

Sorry for the late reply

Well it seems that the problem was that it was reading an xb3 folder from another outside “contents” folder forcing it to unable to start error
But I got it fixed thanks again 🙏
