Hardware SanDisk Ultra 200 GB with New 3DS

[gamecaptor]

So I know a guy, that knows a guy, who walks the dog of a guy, who’s neighbor knows a guy that can get me a SanDisk Ultra 200 GB MicoSDXC for super cheap. I’ve read people using 128 GB SD cards with their 3DS, but has anyone successfully used anything larger? Specifically I would be using it in conjunction with a (Cakes) EmuNAND setup. Logically in my head it should work, but I thought I would ask around first.

And I realize I don’t need this, but I can get it for cheap enough that it makes me want it; I could put my entire library on it and then some! “It’s just too good of a deal to pass up” …this is the same logic my wife uses on me

200gb why would you want a freaking hard drive on a new 3ds?

Probably 265 GB.
I've never heard of SD cards having odd numbered GBs.

Nvm.

The SD is probably stolen or counterfeit.

 

[DinohScene]

The one that OP is talking about? Yeah probably XD

I hope it's the first thing I said for him.
Tho it would be funny if it's counterfeit xd

yes i have 200gb micros in both of my new 3dses the only issue i have is the theme will not load on boot of emunand (use the hold power then home button trick to get it to load your theme) all good other than that

Because I can!

Nope, it's legit. Guy works at SanDisk; employee discount is deep!

I also know a guy who knows a guy who knows me ex who knows a guy that slept with me who knows a girl that slept with another guy that knows a guy that works at macdonalds.

Anyway, enough silliness.
If you need to format it at a specific cluster size, be sure that small files can eat up space REALLY quickly.
If the clustersize is 64kb and you've got a 1kb file on it, it takes up the entire 64kb.

 

[gamecaptor]

Are you sure? Did he give you any proof like a company ID or something?

Well, I had lunch with him, at SanDisk, so I'll call him pretty legit

Kinda unrelated:

I was looking into trying to get a 1TB SSD working with the N3DS by hacking a MicroSD to SD adapter to accept a USB port. Idk.

Lol, do it! Frankenstein that bad boy!

I thought SD and USB have different voltages

More space for games? XD It's not a hard drive either, there are some 200GB Micro SDs out there.

i know its not a hard drive but I have a 200gb hard drive so is basically a hard drive on a 3ds but I clearly understand good sire that is a micro sd

I remember 200MB hard drives too...get with the times son!

 

[Woody8275]

Probably do, idk.

I could very well just use a USB Y cable and it might give enough power.

that means you will need an external power source to carry around and a bulkier 3ds

am not that old but I do remember when the original xbox came with a Pentium 3 and a 8gb hard drive and It was amazing. I do remember some 4 gb hard drives

Is there even 200gb worth of 3ds games out there?
Also, super cheap sd cards always end in new posts here like ''help my sd card not working'' or ''my 200gb card is really a 8gb card''

(The 200 GB SDs are actually a 128 GB and a 64 GB sticked together. No proper 256 GB exists to date)
