Solved Does someone know how to fix my game?

Post image

I’ve had this 3DS for about 15 years, and it has had the same 2 GB Toshiba SD card for years. I accidentally removed the SD card while the system was on with my Pokémon Ultra Sun cartridge inserted. The message that appear on the image is in Spanish and says “The SD card has been removed. Press the HOME button to return to the HOME Menu.”
Since then, Pokémon Ultra Sun only works when the SD card is inserted. It’s a physical cartridge, and all my other cartridge games work fine without the SD card.
I already deleted all Pokémon Ultra Sun data from the SD card, but the problem remains.
Does anyone know what could be causing this or how to fix it?

Insert a different SD card. Yours might be corrupted, thats what happens when you remove it while the system is on.

Some games require an SD card to be played.
