SOLVED

Hi, i really need help from all of you. Suddenly my 3DS XL failed to show the games i've already installed afer Super Smash Bros Installation. Here's the chronology :
1. Installed Super Smash Bros.
2. Tried to play it but Black Screen occured
3. I deleted the installation of Super Smash Bros via PC (not by dev menu)
4. The icon of Super Smash Bros still appeared and i want to get rid of it
5. Tried to reinstall Super Smash Bros via FBI (i expected after installation, then i uninstall it from dev menu).....But failed (i forgot what FBI said)
6. Next time i boot to emunand in RXtools mode, the games and apps (incl. FBI and Dev Menu) i've already installed disappeared.

My unit :
1. 3DS XL Japan Sysnand FW. 4.4
2. Emunand US 10.3
3. RXtools 2.6
4. SD Card Sandisk Class 10 32GB

I really appreciate if the solution you offer doesn't necessarily for me to format emunand, changing emunand region from JP to US was a pain in the ass, i'm not sure i can do that again....Thank you all.

Have you tried deleting Smash Bros through the 3DS Software data management in the System Settings? I'm not sure it's safe because I have heard that will delete all the games you've installed, but I haven't tried it.

It's on my mind. Haven't tried it. Where do i do that? only on emunand or on sysnand - emunand?. I don't mind if it wipe out my previously installed games and saves. But is it safe to assume that my Emunand will be as it is? (US Emunand 10.3).

Are you sure your sd card is real? Where did you buy it

Of course it's real! I've installed 20+ GB games and no problem occured until Smash Bros incident which i think its'a database related problem.

EmuNAND - if your nands are unlinked then it won't be in your sysNAND anyway.

How do i know that my sysnand and emunand unlinked?. In my Nintendo 3DS foler on my SD Card there are 2 folders with random numbers & letter, and there's no change in Sysnand after i do this and do that on my emunand. Is it safe to assume that my Sysnand-Emunand unlinked?

Yes, your emuNAND and sysNAND sound unlinked. You can be extra sure by trying to set different theme colours in sys and emu, if the changes don't stick (eg you make sys red, make emu blue, then go back to sys and it's gone blue) then you're not unlinked, if the changes stick you're unlinked.

Solved. I went into data management, there's an icon "?" with only 4 KB size. I deleted it and everything goes back to normal. Thanks to Jackson S, Ronhero, and Quantumcat, you're all very helpful.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd
