Hacking Devmenu gives a black screen

[Shrekster]

Whenever I try to launch devmenu from Pokémon quest I get a black screen with the switch logo. I saw a thread saying I should format my SD card cluster size, but I don't want to format my SD card as I have all my backups and stuff on it. is there any way to get devmenu working?

Make a backup of whats on the SD card then format it, generally what i do when i'm doing some kind of work involving SD cards.

I don't have enough space on anything to backup 100gbs of files.

Well, we can try to check to see if the SD card is even set up appropriately in the first place. Use the first step of this thread as reference.

Also, this might not help if the files are already displaying on the SD card but it couldn't hurt to give a try.

Connect your sd card to a windows PC and select everything inside.
Right click, properties, advanced, disable "folder/file is ready for archiving". Done.

If neither of those work, you're going to have to format the SD card.
