Accidentally deleted emummc

[Saskweise]

Hey guys, I was cleaning up my sd card when I accidentally deleted emummc, I don't have a backup or anything, I haven't even booted on the switch. What should I do in order to recover that? My switch is on AutoRCM and on firmware 18.1.0. Did I screw it up? Thank you in advance

you dont recover anything, because you had no backup and deleted it. so you have to make a new one

backup your sd card files, and in hekate, format the card for emummc

after that you can reinstall games, and if you had some save file backups from checkpoint or something like that, you can restore those after

Thank you!

are you sure you deleted it? I mean if it's on a hidden partition then you can't simply deleted it by deleting files from your microsd, unless it's files based

I had these files on my sd (They're still there, haven't done anything yet) and a folder called emummc, but it's also true that I had another hidden partition. Is it the same?

yeah, dont reformat for emummc in hekate then. your emummc is fine, the only thing you deleted is your installed games. you can boot into emummc as normal and reinstall those and you shouldnt have lost anything

Tried doing it and this popped up:

emuMMC is forced but not enabled!
Failed to launch HOS!

you're booting using hekate, with fss0=atmosphere/package3, I assume? fusee would normally just use emummc by default as long as it's there

tap emummc tile on the main screen of hekate, on the right. I dont use emummc so I dont know for sure, but you might be able to regenerate the emummc.ini by tapping change emummc on the bottom left, and selecting it in there (it will most likely be "SD RAW 1")

Tried it, but i couldn't tap SD RAW 1. I don't know if I'm doing it wrong :c

I had these files on my sd (They're still there, haven't done anything yet) and a folder called emummc, but it's also true that I had another hidden partition. Is it the same?

Looks like you wiped your hidden parititon if you had one.

 

[Deleted member 702243]

okay, so hekate recognizes the partition, but it refuses to re-create the folders on its own. that's dumb

if you manually create a folder at the root of sd card called "emuMMC", and then inside that a folder called "RAW1", does that help?

Tried naming the folder "emummc" and "emuMMC", but none of these worked

I might have to make an emummc myself just so I can understand how the config actually works before I can tell you what to do next tbh. hekate repo doesnt really document emummc.ini

actually I found someone posted an example emummc.ini here, can you create emummc.ini in the emuMMC folder, and put that in

[emummc]
enabled=1
sector=0x0B3D8000
path=emuMMC/RAW1
id=0x0000
nintendo_path=EmuNAND

Thank you, I really appreciate your help! Should I format and start over again? I don't mind doing it, but I wouldn't want to lose my downloaded games at the Stock version (my download speed is really slow, less than 500 KB/s) that are saved at the sd card and the saves. Is there anything I can do about it?

could you try this? I edited that in after the fact and you might have missed it

Now it does recognize it, but I still can't do anything on "Change emuMMC"

if you create an empty file at emuMMC/RAW1 called "raw_based" (no file extension), does that change anything

just make a new text file or something and rename it without putting anything in it, to make an empty file

also, does it boot in this state?

It doesn't boot up, tried with the file, and without the file

make sure that your atmosphere , hekate are update-to-date

Updated everything minutes before deleting the emuMMC folder
