Hello guys, i tried to transfer some files from pc to switch via hekate sd card option. and when i connected switch with pc i got a messages on my computer " you need to format the disk in drive " i clicked no. and now the switch itself doesnt recognize the sd card, it required format. when i also insert the sd card on my pc it also says that i must format the sd card in order to use it.

my sd card format is exfat, and i have about 200GB content there with cfw atmosphere. does anybody know how to sold this?

Thanks in advance

Try data recovery software such as Recuva or GetDataBack (the latter seems to be able to recover more stuff)
Next time use FAT32 ;)

I have never had any luck recovering any data from a sd card when it gets corrupted by the actions you just mentioned. You can try to recover, but i would expect you will have to reformat and reinstall all your games. As mentioned above ur better off using fat32 instead of exfat. I noticed mine would corrupt every time i took it out of my switch when i had exfat. (Think i either was pulling it out too fast before it properly shut down or it was my teensy mod chip im not sure and got tired of tryin to figure it out fat32 solved this problem)

Hi, If you have facing issue fat32 Sd card. The below steps to format SD card on your PC:

1.Connect your SD card to PC.
2. Double-click My Computer/ This PC to open Windows Explorer.
3. Right-click on your SD card under Devices and drives and select Format. This opens the Format window.
4.Click the File System box. You get the three options - NTFS, FAT32, exFAT. Choose the one that you want to format.
5.Click Start.

Or In case You want restore 3DS files with the help of a photo recovery software such as Recuva or Stellar Photo Recovery as long as your SD card is not physically damaged or overwritten.

    @SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's extra scummy. Ubisoft nowadays ship out incomplete games like Skull and Bones which was being worked on for nearly a decade now.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I never knew about it at the time but a fixed version was available but you had to mail in your broken copy lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So that version is semi rare
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, I have a rom of the ds version of impossible mission
