upgrading SD card, .nca not on new card...

[nine0nine]

I have a V1 switch, hakete hacked with 400G SD card, grabbed a new 1TB card, formatted it in the switch and then copied all the files over (old sd to pc, pc to new sd).

This took about 2 hours in each step and when I booted the new card in the switch, it shows the card is almost empty, and nothing works. Checking the card in the PC, all the .nca files are absent.

So, I guessed I goofed it somewhere, did everything again and it's still exactly the same.

I don't have any extra partitions on the SD card, it's pretty much as stock aside from the hakete files in the root.

So, before I spend another 2 to 4 hours copying files over, what could i be doing wrong?

*edit* just noticed they're folders ending .nce, not files. The 0000000XX folders above them copy over, but they're all empty.

• It might be a fake SD card, check it (with H2testw for example)
• You might be using a partition-based emuNAND, copying the files via PC does not include this partition (see guide).

I didn't set up an emunand partition, so it can't be that. The card checked out on the app which was linked on the packaging, but I will double check using the app you mentioned, cheers!

for what it's worth, the SD card turned out to be legit, and for whatever reason, copying the files over again a third time seems to be working 'better' in the sense that the games are now showing up in the menu. However I get the 'unable to start software' error when trying to boot anything from the SD card. Games off system memory are working.

I've read this can be an issue on unmodded systems and the fix is to redownload the game, so...400GB of games to reinstall...maybe

so..i copied the game folders over in 3 or 4 gig chunks rather than just dumping the whole lot in one go and everything works...all good
