Homebrew Luma 3DS Screenshot Feature not working, Operation Failed (0xc8804478)

[BlueyBoo1278]

I've been using Luma 3DS for quite a while on my Homebrewed 3DS and have used It from time to time to take screenshots for some of the Games I've been playing, but suddenly the feature stopped working as everytime I try to use the Screenshot feature It gives the same message "Operation Faile (0xc8804478)." and Idk how to fix It, I have tried updating Luma3ds via the Universal Updater Homebrew App but that hasn't fixed the Issue and Im not sure what else to do now so I am asking on here for help!

System model:
[Old 3DS XL]

SysNAND version (+emu/redNAND version if applicable):
[[SYS 11.17.0-50U]

Entrypoint (How/what you're using to boot Luma3DS):
[Boot9Strap]

Luma3DS version:
[v13.1.2]

I tested the SD Card using H2testw and It showed no errors, I even double checked using Windows 10's built In Error Checking In the SD Cards Properties, both showed no errors In the SD Card so Im pretty sure the SD Cards not corrupted at least for now but Im still unsure of what the problem Is and still need help!

Do you have a folder named luma/screenshots on your SD card? What if you rename that folder and create a fresh one?

 

[BlueyBoo1278]

Do you mean delete that folder and create a new one, or just rename the existing one and then make a new one?

I just checked and their Is no Folder In the Luna folder called Screenshots, their Is however a blank file named Screenshots Inside.

That is likely the cause of the problem. Did you try renaming that file?

It is very concerning that that file appeared there. You say you tested the SD card, but did you copy everything off and reformat the card before you tested it? Because the test isn't much good otherwise.

No, I moved everything off of the 3ds, I haven't reformatted It yet cause Im not sure If I actually have to do It or not, I can try and move the file somewhere else and make a folder named "screenshots" and see If that works though.

This is very confusing. When you say you "moved everything off of the 3ds", do you mean you moved everything off the SD card..?

You do not need to do a System Format on your 3DS, if that's what you're asking. (You seem to be interpreting my posts in very strange ways.)

I moved everything off the 3ds when I performed the Scan before putting them back In, Im saying I didn't format the 3DS before I did the scan, sorry If I am confusing you.

You realize the SD card and the 3DS are different things, right?

I know that, Idk why I said 3ds, I meant that I didn't reformat the SD card I just moved all the files out of the SD Card (Excluding the System Files) when I performed the scan using Windows Error Checking Tool & H2Testw, afterwards I put the files back In the SDCard.

OMFG IT WAS THAT SIMPLE??? Im suck a Idiot I moved the blank screenshot file and did sorta what you said making a file folder named "screenshots" and that fixed the Issue Im-

chkdsk is not 100% reliable. Would not be the first time It misses filesystem errors a reformat would fix. A proper reformat is the safe long term solution and yes, "screenshots" inside the luma folder should be a folder. Not a file.

Im not planning on doing a reformat on It at the moment since I seemed to have fixed the Issue now, but Incase I do need to In the long run, I'd like to know how to backup all my games on my 3DS, cause I have a bunch of apps like pokemon games and etc that are downloaded and not physical copies, so far I haven't found anything online on how to backup those games and their saved data.

If a folder suddenly changes into a blank file, that suggests the SD card filesystem may have become corrupted. As I said, that is very concerning, which is why I suggested copying everything off and reformatting the card.

I don't know what you mean by "system files", but there's no point in leaving them there when copying everything off the card. That's why I said "copy everything off".

There's really no point in backing up anything other than save data, since everything aside from save data can just be re-installed the same way you installed it originally.

Save data is backed up with Checkpoint and you should absolutely do that regularly. It is best to copy the save data off the SD card using ftpd rather than physically removing the SD card.

ftpd? Is that a Homebrew app or a software for pc?

3ds hb app. You can use any ftp app on the pc/phone side.

Ah okay, I checked and turns out I already have the app Installed on my 3ds, but when I opened It I couldn't figure out anything on their so I may need to figure It out before I can use It.

Make sure you're connected to the internet for it to work. Manual ip address so it won't switch ip's when you're transferring data.
This "guide" might be of help. It's the same process if you goin to use a pc instead of your phone.

Ahh okay, well I got It figured out thankfully, I wish I didn't have to reformat my SD Card since Its working perfectly fine, and after the whole hassle of setting It up I've kinda been worn out on It, I don't like stressing about stuff like this

You're going to be backing up the info on that card as it is. So youre not losing anything with doing that
