Got my N3DS XL one minute ago. Got the 32GB SD Card for 11 euros from MediaMarkt. Its on 9.9, so downgrading is the solution i guess?

well . . . . buy a tiny screwdriver man

You just need a tiny screwdriver. If you really want to you can just rip them off but that will screw up your screws and possibly break your backplate too

If the screwdriver does not fit get a new one. Seriously. I have like 4 backplates and 3 are screwed.

Hello,

Which is the best SD card to pick? Which size, which brand?
I'd like to hear which brand you have and which size and where you bought it.

Thanks in advance,
Twan

I recommend the Samsung evo+ series. They're very reliable and Coke in 32gb, 64gb, and 128gb sizes. I have the 128gb and it's the best I've had so far. You won't run out of room very fast either. Read speed is up to 80MB/s and wrote speed is up to 20MB/s. Which means, games load faster with shorter load times for chat scenes and all that. I got mine on eBay (from a bestbuy eBay page) for $45.

Does the 3ds even care if you have a fast sd? Is it just so slow it doesnt matter?

bottleneck . . . big time
also . . . larger gb sd cards say the 3ds needs more time to read the contents for the home screen

What do you mean exactly?

 

[wormdood]

i mean they are fixed (attached) to the back-plate so they will loosen but still be attached

Yes, but they even wont loose, the screwdriver fits perfectly.

It is possible a brand new console could be broken.
These things happen sometimes.

It turns on and off so its not broken i guess...
