Alright, as some of you may know, I sent in my DS2 to Nintendo. Stupid move, I know.

But today I got my SD cards and DSi back from repair. They destroyed the cart, fair enough. I still have my younger bro's DS2.

So I ran Recuva on my SD card. It came up with all my files. Nintendo didn't properly format my MSD!

So I recovered my files, loaded up an old backup (From March. Ouch.) and copied over the saves.

To my surprise, it worked! Flawlessly! All I need to do now is get a new DS2 for myself!

I think I just beat Nintendo.

maybe you should of checked you dsi before you sent it in... or back up you saves or maybe both...
I should've. And they're destroying the DS2, not the DSi. They're still repairing it thankfully.

I'm lucky they're not pressing charges. Or so I hope. But I don't care. I'm done with piracy.

I left a mark on my DSi though to make sure they don't replace it. I may lose my DS2, but I'm not giving up Sudokuhax that easily.
I wondered how long you would hold out.

I bet they didn't destroy it, but kept it for testing purposes.

Anyways, yeah. Be happy they "just" did that and not sueing you.

What were they doing digging through your SD card? For all they know, there could have been other things on there that wasnt their business. Then they destroyed your card? Destruction of Private Property.
Just being Devils Advocate.

Yeah. It's in my blood now, like a drug.

get an acekard 2i this time
I would, but I remember that time period when AKAIO wasn't being updated and everyone was whining (Even Wood got updated before it). That, and I like the whole 'You hardly need to update it!' system the DS2 has.

The answer? Not long. God, now I know what smokers trying to quit feel like.
