I have a 64gb micro sd card. I am using it with my US 3ds xl in a micro sd to sd adapter while I wait for Gateway to release the N3DS XL update. What doesn't make sense?

You do know I'm on about the original N3DS/XL's not the New Nintendo 3DS's, unless you mean you use your original N3DSXL at the moment and you have a NN3DSXL and are waiting for the Gateway update for that?

Because exFAT is owned my Microsoft, Nintendo could not use exFAT SD cards in their system, and they had to resort to FAT32.
Problem is that FAT32 can only go up to 32GB according to the SD Association, and that's where the myth came. However, you can use specific tools to create FAT32 partitions larger than 32GB.
The Gateway red card can support both FAT32 and exFAT, which allows it up to (According to reports), 128GB.
And yes, there have been people with 128GB SD cards in their 3DSes, that happened because they used special formatting tools to format their 128GB SD cards into FAT32.

He is using his og 3ds while waiting for the n3ds release. He has 2 3ds consoles. one new 3ds and one old3dsXL... not so hard to understand lol

And ye, you just have to format to fat32. Windows doesn't do it natively, you need a third party sd formatter that will do it.

Yeah like 2hack stated, I have an original US 3DS XL and an AUS/PAL N3DS XL. I am using a 64gb micro sd card that I formatted to FAT32 inside a micro sd to sd adapter in my original US 3ds XL, while I wait for the N3DS Update from Gateway to be released.

Yeah I get you now, cool I was getting confused with you writing "N3DSXL" and not "NN3DSXL" :) same as the other chap as well.

Just thought I would point out before everyone rushes out and buys one, you cannot use above 32GB SD-Card in the side of your 3DS. I'm not quite sure but the SDXC models wont even work.

I just ordered a 128 GB card for my 3ds XL. Hope you arent just spreading fake shit for fun. I thought if it was converted to FAT32 i was good.

Yes you are fine, refer to my post above:

Also, Can you make me an omelet with the SD card when it arrives? Thanks

You can. I'm using my 64GB micro sd in my N3DS. It's just windows doesn't format microsds above 32 gb to fat32. You need another program to format it. then you should be fine.

If there's still no Gateway for a while after 2/13, and I jump ship to Sky, will I be able to transfer my saves once Gateway does release?

I'll be playing DS games through R4i for a little bit until Gateway releases, but if it's gonna be a bit, I'd like to be be able to keep saves.

While we wait, I have been trying to understand how the arm9.bin loads the exploit for cfw. I am def. not knowing what I am doing, but someone might, and they might want to make a better one. why not try something like this instead of wait for gateway?

No its OK I'm not trolling at all I'm very serious, this comment was made along while back when like GW released v.2.6 I think when you could access the devmenu and install .cia files on to your home menu. Someone said, I can't remember who they had bought a 64GB SDXC sd-card and it would not work in the side of his 3DS so he sent them back and got 2x32GB's in exchange which did work
