Hacking Question Installed apps/games from an old micro-SD Card will not work on the new

[Dothackjhe]

So, here's the tl;dr:

I've just made a switch from ReiNX to Kosmos/Atmosphere today and at the same time upgraded from an old 128Gb micro-SD Card to a 256Gb micro-SD Card. I made a backup of the "Nintendo" folder from the old micro-SD Card and transferred it over to the new one. I booted successfully to Kosmos/Atmosphere after proper configuration from a "clean slate" standpoint. While the games/apps I had previously installed back when the device still runs on ReiNX appears on the home menu, trying to run any of them gives off this error:

"The software is not currently on the console. Please redownload the software to continue. If the software was originally downloaded to a micro-SD Card, please cancel, turn off the console, and insert that micro-SD Card."

Any idea on how to fix this issue?

Is your SD card formatted as exFAT?

You need sig patches

Is your SD card formatted as exFAT?

Apparently, the issue did fall into the file system formatting. When the 256Gb micro-SD Card was formatted to FAT32, it could not copy all of the files I put into it, particularly the 100+Gb backed up Nintendo folder, but did not show any error for it. Reformatting the same micro-SD Card to ExFAT and recopying the files, including the ones needed to run Atmosphere 0.9.4, made everything work as intended.

I already had this covered from the start it seems.
