I know this might not be the place to say it, or stuff like that, but I just want to put this out.
Earlier today I was going to browse the temp when I had a feeling I should update my SD card backup. I plugged my micro SD into my computer, copied everything to a folder on my computer, ejected, inserted it back.
The first red flag was that my splash didn't show at all. I booted to a nonthemed home menu with none of my stuff there. I turned the DS off and checked to make sure it was in correctly and inserted all the way. It was.
So I plugged it back into my computer, and lo and behold, this was shown:
I had apparently averted disaster moments before it struck.
My next idea was to format and test the card with H2testw. The results were not good.
The card in question was this one:
It seems my SD Card was dying. This story goes to show that proper backups can go a long way, as all data was backed up before this happened.
I want this to be a warning to not slack off on making backups. It can mean the difference between a lot of pain and an easy fix.
