Did you backup/clone the whole sd or just the files and folders that your pc can see
as android has it own partitions that windows cannot see natively?
If you have only backed up the files in windows and not cloned the sd then android is gone no choice then to reinstall unfortunately

Yes, only if you hekate don't find the .ini for launch Android.

The other way is only reinstall Android system partition without wipe data and user partition

I only copy the files I see, and on mac, all switch games work and can select payload, but when I select android 10....don´t boot.

Do you have the Android image ? If you have that image, wipe system partition and install it, or just install like a update, You don't lose apps and data

I have all the files that I have on the sd card before (didn´t clone the sd, just drag the files to a folder in my mac), can you guide me on how to do that? re instaling andoid and the apps is a pain. when I install andoid originaly I assign a 32 gb of my 200gb card.

Did you format your sd after you copied your data to your mac ?
 
mmm...I think I did...
Then unfortunately you have no choice then to go through the whole android setup process again as you partitions are probably gone
One thing to check is how much storage is your mac reporting on sd
If you was using a windows pc I'd suggest using diskpart in command prompt to check partitions as you never know just might still be there I'm not sure what the mac equivalent is tbh
 
Ok, I will do it again, my switch is banned, I use sx os and what I did was to make an emunand (the only thing i want is to have a backup if I did something bad in the future and want to restore it), can you tell me the best way to have a backup in my case (having android and switch files)


thanks for all

Unfortunately I don't use a mac so not sure what the equivalent software would be just Google clone sd card on mac and see what results it comes up with but remember cloning will take a long time as it's a one to one copy
