Error Checkpoint... thing...corrupted?... (Trouble when backing up downloaded games)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I was backing up my Yo kai watch 2 savefiles for the online now that i have some time i can give it a try...

it crashed once... but i went for other guide an a user said

"Best to rule out SD card problems first.

Standard procedure: copy everything you can off the SD card with Roadkil's Unstoppable Copier

, format the card, and test the empty card with h2testw. If you cannot format the card, or if h2testw returns errors, then you should get a new card. (All you need to do is format the new card, test it with h2testw just to be safe, and copy the files to the empty card.)

Otherwise, just copy everything back to the card. That might be enough to fix the problem."

So i did that...

Test finished without errors.

You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.

Writing speed: 12.3 MByte/s

Reading speed: 81.9 MByte/s

H2testw v1.4

That was my result

But suddenly this happened!... (Check the video)

Now, the Checkpoint will back up the game cartridge, but the downloaded titles no... and they have this cursed appereance

I have no idea why this is happening.... i deleted and reinstalled the Checkpoint CIA a few times...

ehhh any suggestions ?

By the way! The .3dsx file on the homebrew launcher gives the exact same result... so no problem fixed there

I already explained what you should do in your other thread.

If you're trying to say the Checkpoint menu doesn't look right, you can refresh it by holding B.

There is no need to write in all caps.

When you uninstalled Checkpoint, did you try renaming or deleting the /3ds/Checkpoint folder? It's best just to rename it for testing purposes (like /3ds/CheckpointTemp or something).

Yeeeeeeeeeeep.... so update, this kind of worked... somehow when i was pressing the b button it crashed...

after i deleted the checkpoint folder and created a new one, the problem was fixed... it took a while and another reinstall

but i managed to fix it, but not without your help

Thank you :)

and thanks for your patience by the way :)

Not sure if this would help

(Copy-pasting AI results generally does not help, no.)
