How did you do that?
Okay so technically this is on me for not backing up the raw 3DS folder before attempting this. Basically I had switched to a larger card to fit MH3U on because it didn't fit on the default 2g card. But I wanted recently to transfer over all of the downloaded titles I had on the old card finally.
This is where I get stupid, but to be fair their system is stupid as well. I was stupid because I didn't manually back up the entire card just in case, but they were stupid because there is absolutly no rhyme or reason to how files are stored in the 3DS folder, its all folders with names like 000007 and 000a12 with no way to tell what's associated with what game or whatever. So I couldn't actually locate the MH specific files to back them up.
So I copied the folder with all the old 3DS games onto my harddrive, and then inserted the larger card. I dragged the folder with the old games onto the card. I assumed I would be able to merge the contents of both folders and have all the games.
There was no option to merge. I reflexivly hit replace. Five seconds into the process I recognized what I had just done and cancelled in a panic, but it was too late.
