I have a suspicion that my SD card is going bad after two years of use. I'm currently running atmosphere and emmunand.

I just ordered the same SD card I have currently. My question is, is there anything more than just formatting the partitions like I did before, and then dragging the files over? I did notice that in Windows I don't see any files on my emunand and partition. So that is my concern. I haven't looked in a couple weeks so they may have just been hidden. Any help would be appreciated.

As long as the new sd card is legit (I say that because I just helped someone who we figured out bought a fake one) then formatting and copying the files over should work fine.

Edit: maybe ignore this because I don't do emunand so I can't comment on that for sure.

Yeah the card is legit. It's a sandisk ultra 256. I ordered the exact same card as I've been using.

I'm not even sure it's going bad, but like I say I've been using this card for well over 2 years with almost daily play, and the oddities I've seen lately just make me want to be in the safe side. I'd rather just replace the card than risk losing anything.

Yeah the card is legit, it's the exact one I've used for over 2 years: Sandisk ultra 256. And I don't know if the card is actually going bad for sure. I just want to play on the safe side instead of risking a data loss.
