My 3DS said SD Card is Corrupted but..

[Something whatever]

When I put on my computer is comes up fine. I got an error after downloading a homebrew app then my 3DS rested itself with nothing but DSiware titles and themes installed. What can I do??? The 3DS wants to format the card but everything I own will be deleted. Please help

First backup your data somewhere safe on your pc, and check the sdcard with h2testw. Run the test with the "read & verify" option.
Format the sd as Fat32 32kb cluster size before and after the test.
It should tell you if it's faulty or dying.

Btw, you should check if you have a 32id folder inside sd:/Nintendo 3ds.

Hi
I got this issue and managed to fix it. So my problem was, I downloaded a bunch of games and one of them was corrupted.
I tried deleting but it end up not displaying any titles at all apart from TM++

Here's what I did.
I take out the micro sd card and put in my computer then right click on the card and select "properties", go to "tools" then repair sd card. (You can use windows powershell with "chkdsk [sd card drive letter] /f " to repair too)

When this is finished, you need to go to titles, so on your sd card go into your "Nintendo 3DS folder" until you see the folders called "titles" and delete the broken file (the corrupted title folder has been repaired into a file) and delete that file.

Now it should work, take out your sd card and plug it back in the 3DS.

May God Bless everyone in Jesus name

Thanks I ended up buying a new card but if it happens again I'll try that. THANKS
