yes you need to format fat32

Thanks for the answer,I tried to do that on a 128gb sd card,I formatted in fat32.
I then loaded an emunand on that card and although the games worked BigBlueMenu didn't,when I tried to open the program I got an error message then it took me back to sysnand.
Not sure why this happened,but I can't install any more games on that card which defeats the purpose.

Something I want to know about CIAs.

Lets say I install a game, (MHX) CIA onto my Emunand, 9.2.0. The requirements to run the MHX as a 3ds file is 9.9X (? I believe). Will the game still run properly on 9.2 EMUNAND or will the condition that MHX will only run on 9.9X continue to exist?

You need to firmware spoof and cryptofix (if it's N3DS) the game to play it in a lower firmware, if you don't you won't be able to play the game.

Quick question,

I just set up my EUR N3DS with rxtools and installed a variety of CIA to try everything out. Every EUR cia works but I also have a US RF cia which FBI shows as installed but it doesn't show in my Home Menu, while all the EUR cia's work. It also can not be launched from within FBI.
Is there any specific reason for that or is the cia just broken?

Do people usually just use "normal" cia on cfw and that's enough for online, or is it possible/is there a reason for making legit cia somehow?

Making your own CIA is classified as legit. So, I make all my .CIA files. I only download them online if I can't make a .CIA file for some reason
