Hmm that might sound like a problem.
Maybe I have a very old nand backup somewhere but I will have to search different drives.
Pff why do they make it all so difficult

So that you can't do highly illegal actions such as backing up/modding your saves (there have been NO Nintendo consoles with an unrestricted, official save backup system)
GBA games had interchangeable saves ö almost every console I know has millions of 100% save data files online how do they al work then?
I had trouble with Pokemon X because the game's too big to install on the dinky 4 GB Lexar. I resorted to Pilotwings Resort (USA) with Title ID 00031c00 as it's a much smaller game, ~93 MB.
The cards' <ID0> and <ID1> have the following sequences, where X = letter and # = number:
The <ID0> are the same.
PNY:
Yada yada yada, copied *.sav file over from PNY to Lexar. Older version firmware, EmuNAND, and (at least) different <ID1> poses no problems in dropping in the old save. You can see I have a bad habit of purposely dubbing myself with awful names, lol.
Edit - Time to go hunting for that old NAND of yours if you got it like Ryccardo mentioned about the movable.sed . Your issue is truly a mystery.

- #X##XXXX#X#X####XX###XX#XXX###X#
PNY:
- ##X##########X#############X###X
- ##X###########X##X##############

It sucks monkeyballs. Especially because everywhere I looked they just said copy paste it to pc so you have a backup and then copy paste to new SD and it works...
Blah
Unofficial tools, of course
(The most common one for GBA saves is probably a DS/Lite with flashcard and the right DS homebrew)
You make me sad
Mr poopoo at least gave me hope but I guess I had to face reality. Would have been awesome though if there was a "easy" "quick" fix
You make me sad
I have one last question. When you moved the *.sav files over, did you rename the new setup Nintendo 3DS/<ID0>/<ID1> to match the old set?
If you did that, this might be the issue. Keep the new <ID0>/<ID1> and bring only the title/00040000/... portion.
I had this problem this week, and it took me ages to fix, so dropping my solution in here, to hopefully help anyone else googling…
My home screen appeared blank, save for the usual Nintendo apps. The cause of this was a corrupt `extdata` directory. On the computer it was showing as a file with no extension, not a directory.
I deleted the `extdata` file, reinserted the SD card, and all the icons appeared and I had to unwrap and rearrange the lot. Back to normal, no save data lost.
Hope this helps.
