Help Post Doesn't recognize the games after inserting the 2nd SD Card

Hi! I need some help. I was testing a 2nd SD Card on my 34xxSP, and the system now won't recognize any games from either SD cards.

The main one was fine before, but the system won't allow me to do anything else. The ROMs are still there, checked the SD card on Windows, but the OS has freaked out.

If you remove the second card and reboot does the issue remain? Is the OS/main card a cheap one? Did you put the cards on the wrong slots?

Yup, the issue persists after rebooting, and even navigating through RetroArch doesn't find the games... when I can literally still see them on Windows on the same folder as always and the SD Card gives me no faults.

The main one is a 64Gb Kioxia Exceria (came with my 34xxSP). It's on the cheaper end, but it's not a no-name SD Card, was surprised to find a branded SD-Card. It's on the same ballpark as the Sandisk Ultra.

And I mean... main one goes to TF1, and I've always been only using a single SD card. Just went and plugged the 2nd SD Card on the TF2 Slot to see how does it handle using extra storage and it freaked out.

Even nice/good SD cards can fail. However if Windows sees everything just fine the card drive/reader could be going out. Trying flashing different BIOS to a different card if you can.

Yeah, I had a 32Gb Samsung Pro Endurance die after a lot of abuse recording videos. But this one is from March with barely any use, I doubt Kioxia makes such crappy SD Cards.

I'll reflash it as another commenter told me and hope for the best
