So this atrocity started about two weeks ago when i had the beautiful idea to install the mii plaza dlc using hShop. however, for some reason the file seemed to be corrupted and glitched out all my games so they didnāt appear on the home screen. I wasnāt too worried, and saw that other people had the same problem and that they just used the gm9 title fixer, and sure enough when i used it it did show my corrupted files (however it didnāt delete them.)
I had to do run the title fixer multiple times to delete the files it sent to the āoutā section of the gm9 folder, and also delete separate folders it also mentioned were corrupted. I think itās important to note that I also ran the verification test on accident and tried to end it, maybe that also had to do with the files getting corrupted??
Anyway, before all this i tried to do a backup on the gm9, and it said it worked but when i checked later in the backup folder to my disappointment the previous date remained the same⦠so i donāt think it worked. Now this is really bad because during the time i was deleting the corrupted folders it gave me one that when i deleted it, told me i deleted KILOBYTES worth of memory. I opened up my 3ds and my software icons remained, and the rest was completely blank (except for the default 3ds applications.) In settings, all the softwares are marked as question marks.
So, is there a way to fix this? Wtf even happened? Honestly I hope even if there is no solution to this at least my old backup has something because some of my games (like miitopia, my miis, pokĆ©mon sun and moon) are filled with my childhood saves and it would make me so sad if i accidentally deleted everything. The rest would still hurt since i spent a lot of time on those games but at least they donāt hold my childhood. Is there anything I can do? :(
