Homebrew apps disappears after re-inserting the sdcard

Hi everyone, i just tried to install pretendo (i already installed nimbus trough universal updater i just needed the luma files) but once i reinserted the sdcard into my 3ds all of the homebrew apps and custom themes have disappeared as if they were never installed, only the luma menu is avaiable if i press L+down+select but nothing else is there, is there a way to fix this?

I’m not entirely sure this is a Pretendo issue.

Can you check that your SD card is reading correctly? I’ve had an issue before with a faulty SD card where icons and themes wouldn’t show on the home menu.

If you’re still experiencing issues, it’s probably going to be a better idea going to the Nintendo Homebrew Discord.

Sorry if this is three days after, but you could talk about this issue on the GBAtemp forums. GBAtemp is a place for discussing general homebrew topic, along with other issues related to video-games. Combined with a very active user-base, I would recommend this website to put this issue on.

This happened to me once. Just so happened that the SD Card wasn’t fully inserted. (Ejecting and re-inserting the SD Card whilst a 3DS is on has a severe risk of corruption.)
