Homebrew SD card folder setup.

[Daniel Sahr]

Hey guys, I was just installing themehax, but when I was moving files on my SD card, I accidentally merged the "Nintendo 3ds" and "private" folders and I need help to fix them.

What do you mean by you "merged" them?

 

[Daniel Sahr]

I dragged the contents of the Nintendo 3ds folder into the private folder.

I dragged the contents of the Nintendo 3ds folder into the private folder.

Can't you just copy and paste them back?

 

[Games&Stuff]

Can't you just drag them out than?

 

[Daniel Sahr]

I don't know where they go, which is the problem.

 

[Games&Stuff]

Huh? What do you mean?

Edit: Ohh like that...

'Nintendo 3DS' folder goes at the root of the SD card.

the scrambled letters and numbers folder goes into the Nintendo 3DS folder.

Easy.

Ok, I put the scrambled files in the Nintendo 3ds folder and I have a "private" folder at the root containing "Private" and "app" sub folders.

Now put the private folder in the Nintendo 3DS folder.

Like this?

 

[Deleted User]

Yes! You're all done, now!

 

[Daniel Sahr]

Nope, it still didn't work. This is so strange, as I have always had the "private" folder at the root.

Can you redownload your apps from the eshop? I would suggest starting afresh, but if you need to stay on a low firmware... (then again, there's EmuNAND...)

 

[Daniel Sahr]

I have literally 30 apps, and lots of save data, so restarting is a huge last resort for me.

Hmm... I dunno why it doesn't work. Strange...

 

[Daniel Sahr]

All of the levels of the SD Card.

Honestly, I'm out of ideas. Did you accidentally rename one of the scrambled folders? That's all I can think of.

That could be it. If I did, would I be screwed?

Possibly.

Though, do you have any backups of the contents of your SD card lying around anywhere?
