Hardware I deleted my Nintendo 3ds folder

[TacoGod]

So, My 3ds sd card was 64 GB, and I ran out of storage on another device so I had to use my 3ds sd card. As I had so many 3ds files on my sd card, I backed them up and deleted them. Simple, right? Seems like I can recover it but then here's when the Blue Screen Of Death comes in to wreck my computer. I have no access to my backup and there is no turning back. I have another 3ds (old) But I'm pretty sure it won't work with a 3DS (New). Anyone have a solution to get my backup back?

Well, BSOD won't wipe your drive. The backup is still there. The easiest thing would be to get Linux on USB and work from there. Or just simply reinstall without wiping the part with the data.
And what's your problem right now actually? You just "lost" Nintendo folder so pretty much nothing but saves. If you need to start over, just follow this (and put homebrew launcher on root).

If you can't access your files, you can do the finalizing setup again, but you will lose access to stuffs that you installed before.

I don't have that much money. I live with my parents right now.
And I don't care about my save data. I care about my 3ds alive or not
And My 3ds just did something and now I have a Nintendo 3ds folder.

All you need for the linux drive is a usb and a working PC.
So, you have 2 3DSes but only 1 SD card, correct? Then you can put luma on NAND, but you won't be able to install anything as you need SD for that. But it would at least boot.

Guess . I'd suggest linux mint as it is pretty snappy and nice looking, but any linux will do. And OS which can be launched from USB will do.

you need the contents of the iso on the usb. Just google how to flash iso image to usb. Use win32diskimager or preferably etcher.
