#Error message when opening godmode9

Hi! I was modding my old 3DS XL for the first time, and it was going smoothly until I was faced with these 2 issues, and I'm unsure how to resolve them.

  1. When pressing start + power to boot up Godmode9, it gets stuck on the booting screen

  2. I went back from step 3 just to be sure, and was given this error message when trying power + X - picture provided.

This is an old used 3ds I bought, so it has a 2GB Nintendo Wii memory card. I read that it wouldn't be an issue, but maybe it's dying out on me? The memory card is unlocked by the way, and I tried locking and unlocking it again just to be sure.

My next question is, if the SD card is what's faulty here, can I safely transfer all of these files to a new SD card despite me being unable to finalize modding my 3ds? Or will that cause issues?

Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for any help! I would love to be a part of the pretendo community soon.

Press A

How much space is available on your sd card

Hello!

Pressing A seems to take me to the home menu

I know that it's a Wii SD card that holds 2 GB, I can check how much I have with my laptop real quick, one moment

If it's not enough storage I can probably buy a new one soon

Replace finalize.romfs on the root of your sd card

Sounds like your sd card isnt being read

#

Do you have another one to test with

#

Just to see of its read

Unfortunately not currently, I'm thinking of buying a new one. Would it still work if I moved everything to the new one?
