As the title says. I am getting a 64 gb sd card. My 3ds has cfw on it so if I copy the contents of my old sd card and put it on my new one can I still use cfw and not brick?

Yeah, just copy the files over.
If you're running emunand it's a bit more involved, but you shouldn't be running emunand anyways :)

It's pointless these days with A9LH.

Just make sure you format it to FAT32 first, cards larger than 32 GB are ExFAT formatted by default. Windows' built in formatter won't format 64 GB or larger cards to FAT32, so you'll need a 3rd party tool like guiformat.

emuNAND is useless with a9lh because with a9lh you can update sysnand safely keeping hacks and you can unbrick sysnand if you ever need to
. If you don't use a9lh install it using 3ds.guide
Does not 3ds.guide method create emuNand in sd card?

When I select+start with sd card in, different luma3ds gets loaded.

3ds.guide doesn't require you to make an emunand anymore. A very early version of the guide required emunand for installing but now emunand is not needed for installing a9lh

How can I determine if I installed old version of the guide?

**Sorry for a lot of posts. But I am sure it will help me and others!**

See if your console boots without an sd card. If it does boot you're likely using menuhax or you installed a9lh recently. if it doesn't boot (light turns on then off) then just do https://3ds.guide/updating-a9lh

is it possible to have different games on different sd cards ?
Likely, if you just clone your SD then on one uninstall all games, you should be able to install other games. But I would rather get a bigger SD card than a second one and hassling with swapping around.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
