you need to format it

#

If you have a windows pc download guiformat.
Format it to fat 32, and select 64k(655something) allocation.

Cant i do smt else?

#

No, it shipped as exfat, 3ds can't use exfat

#

Fat32 has to be set on the card by another device, preferably a real computer where you have full admin, aka Mac, Linux, or windows

#

If your 3ds is modded you can also use godmode 9

welp then you seem to be out of luck for now

#

I'd recommend nicely asking a friend, parent or whoever else if you can format your SD card on their computer

#

btw

lyric cloak
#

Wait

unreal bobcat
#

can you also not read normal sd cards?

lyric cloak
#

Look

#

I think its only 32gb

#

I have 128

unreal bobcat
#

I'm using a 64 gb card

lyric cloak
#

Ho

unreal bobcat
#

idk why these sources say you can only go to 32gb, I've encountered sources like that as well

#

well maybe because by default windows doesn't let you create a fat32 partition larger than that by default

#

minitool partition wizard, window's own partition manager, gparted and a lot of others can do it

#

Nintendo says it can only be up to 32GB on a 3ds system but yah because the 3ds can only format up to 32GB but if you format using a computer you can use as much as you want

unreal bobcat
#

ah

#

makes sense

lyric cloak
#

Thx everyone now i go get a 32 gb

ruby leaf
#

You don’t need a 32GB

#

Instead you can get a micro sd adapter

lyric cloak
#

Whats that

ruby leaf
#

Allows you to use a micro sd card using a usb drive

lyric cloak
#

Too complicated im good with 32gb

ruby leaf
#

What

#

No it’s not

#

You just plug it into computer then plug your sd card into it

lyric cloak
#

I buy from bestbyy

lyric cloak
ruby leaf
#

It’s simple

#

It just allows you to use an sd card

lyric cloak
#

Okkk

unreal bobcat
#

sadly doesn't allow for both a micro SD and a standard SD simultaneously, but if you only put in one it works perfectly

#

i can help you

#

i had this problem today

#

with the exact same card

#

sandisk as well

ruby leaf
#

It’s not a problem it’s just it wasn’t formatted otherwise it would work fine

#

Which this issue was also in the FAQ

north swan
#

yep

#

i had to use my netbook to do this cause i use linux or the laptop has no sd card slot

limber bluff
#

if you wanna format your sd card @lyric cloak you can look in the FAQ of #1019955967410065418

#

Well then just simply buy an adapter or look at some pcs which you can use for free which have the slot maybe built in

#

Well honestly 32 is probably enough for most people

#

3DS games are generally only 1-2GB in size

cedar pilot
#

oh okay, my gameboy sp could only load 4 games on the 32gb ezfalsh

#

so i was getting a little worried

unreal bobcat
#

I didn't get the 64gb cards for my 3ds's. The one card I had as my switch card (but due to emunand taking up a ton of space I switched to 128) and the other one my dad literally found at an airport

unreal bobcat

#

selling my gameboy sp now

#

to buy a 3ds

unreal bobcat
cedar pilot
#

unreal bobcat
cedar pilot
#

yea i think something was taking up space

#

its fine tho, i wanted to play ds games

#

on a ds

#

and not on my computer lol

unreal bobcat
#

Again, good choice
