Please I need to know.
#If I remove my SD card before my factory reset and put it back in would I be able to see my clips?

Please I need to know.
First off: what is your goal here and why are you asking?
golden drift
I want to downgrade a game and I don't want to lose the clips
Or pcis
And I want to know if they are still working after I factory reset my switch
hushed solstice
I want to downgrade a game and I don't want to lose the clips
Is it a game from the eshop?
golden drift
Totk
hushed solstice
That doesn’t answer my question
Is it from the eshop or is it a cartridge
@golden drift
golden drift
Cartridge
I have the first edition game
Before Nintendo wanted to ruin everyone's copy
hushed solstice
🙄
You will have to back up your videos and images to your PC. Once you reset the switch it’s likely you will need to reformat the sd card.
golden drift
I don't have a pc
hushed solstice
Do you have any sort of computer?
@golden drift sort of need you to answer my questions if you want me to help you
golden drift
No
Sorry I'm talking to people as well
It's hard going back and forward from other servers
Slow phone
hushed solstice
Okay. Well you will need to find a friend who has a computer
golden drift
But clips are not tied to profiles so I why would it not work?
Logically it should work as some people say
I need a person who can do this or did this already
hushed solstice
The switch will force you to reformat the sd card after you initialize the console
golden drift
Can you send a pic of you doing it or atleast a video on what happens?
hushed solstice
Brb
golden drift
Like you seen this before or something?
hushed solstice
Can you send a pic of you doing it or atleast a video on what happens?
I’m not going to reinitialize my console just for this. But from my understanding the Switch console will force a reformat.
golden drift
So I will lose every clip and pic then
hushed solstice
Not if you back your card up to a computer first
golden drift
Again I don't have that
hushed solstice
Find a friend who does then
golden drift
The latest version kinda sucks without the cool glitches
hushed solstice
What “cool glitches” are you trying to take advantage of?
woeful lava
what do they want to do? move their clips and pictures from the switch:? @hushed solstice
it is possible to move them to a phone by selecting upto 10 images/clips and select sharing and editing then by selecting "send to smartphone" it will generate a QR code displayed on the switch
golden drift
What “cool glitches” are you trying to take advantage of?
Just mainly the duping glitch where you can have infinite stuff
I have over 800+ so I don't know how long will that take
woeful lava
then that is quite problematic..
with a pc it would be way easier
is it not possible for you to like.. use a pc somewhere and copy those files to a usb drive or something?
hushed solstice
Or you could just get a new SD card for after you reinitialize the Switch
Or you could, you know, play the game as intended
golden drift
Has anyone of you two tried or know what happens when you do it
golden drift
Can I have more proof or video on what actually happens
hushed solstice
Can I have more proof or video on what actually happens
If you can wait six hours, I’ll try when I get home and let you know.
hushed solstice
Why so impatient?
hushed solstice
Why is this situation stressing you out? It’s just a game we’re talking about here
golden drift
Its not about the game. Its about losing 800+ clips and pictures of my switchs life.
Sorry
That may be rude
Thanks for helping me so far
hushed solstice
So like I said earlier: if you want to be 100% certain you won’t lose the clips and pictures, you can always get a new SD card.
golden drift
Can anyone look over a video I have found that goes futher on what happens
Can i send link video here? And have you check the time stamp
hushed solstice
I’m not in a position where I can watch a video right now
golden drift
Thanks regardless
Can I still send video link and have a time stamp for people who want to see it
Or is that not allowed
hushed solstice
Depends. Is it your video?
golden drift
No it's a tutorial and they say something about the SD card and factory reseting
hushed solstice
Like I said, I can watch it but it will have to wait until I’m home.
golden drift
The guy talks about what happens with the sd card when factory reseting around 0:54
hushed solstice
Okay. What does he say?
golden drift
He says that all videos and pictures are still going to be there and no formating will occure
hushed solstice
Okay. Well you can wait for me to try it or you can go for it yourself and see what happens
hushed solstice
Six hours
golden drift
Let me know what happens k
hushed solstice
Will do
woeful lava
@golden drift
Not to come out as rude or anything but the answer you are looking for is stated in the nintendo website
golden drift
Yes
woeful lava
You are going to factory reset not initialize is that correct?
golden drift
Aint those the same thing
woeful lava
No
woeful lava
initializing the console deletes ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING
factory resetting however keeps your save data, screenshots, videos and user info in which results in them not getting deleted
and all software saved on the microSD card will become unusable except screenshots and videos
may i ask why do you want to initialize the switch knowing now that it deletes everything? @golden drift
woeful lava
in that case factory resetting is enough no?
golden drift
No
woeful lava
factory resetting however keeps your save data, screenshots, videos and user inf...
since it deletes all the software installed
golden drift
Cuz save data and the game will force you to download it
woeful lava
Cuz save data and the game will force you to download it
right
golden drift
Not even a text that will say you agree to download
