My comp says my sd card is broke and so does my r4

Ok my comp says that my sd isn't formatted and asks if I want too do it know.
Though it's full of games and stuff should i format or not?

 

Well. Backup the files, THEN format

 

Can you open to see the files at all?

What does your comp say exactly?


And here's a pro tip-backup your games and saves often.

2 options-backup the entire contents every few months and place them in an external drive that's not powered and don't touch until it's needed (and a good brand as well) or as I do-just backup the games-so you don't waste bandwidth downloading it all again.

If your games are just in the sd card then I suggst not crying if they get deleted-my brother's acekard went bezerk one day and all it left was part of a homebrew game-all games saves and even the firmware was gone!

..imagine the horror...

Well yeah kepp that in mind for next time.

 

can't backup but I already formatted but now my r4 is totally empty

 

Thats why you should always backup just in case this happens

 

You'll have to re-install the firmware, when you purhcased the R4 card package you should hve obtained some software or something, maybe a disk.. If not then you can obtain some from the website provided in anandjones signature which is Here
