So a friend let me borrow his super smash bros cart and rip it. I was gonna use it instead of the public one I have now but for some reason it's not working. All i did was rip it and change the extension to .3dz. What am I doing wrong?
Is that all that it says?
If you are getting a Fragmentation Error, read below, if not, disregard all
Means your microSD card is fragmented. You need to copy it w/o fragmenting.
Copy your rooms to the computer, format the MicroSD
Then go to the folder you put the roms into. Hold Shift + Right click -> Open Command Window Here
then type: for %i in (*) do copy "%i" X:
X: is your microSD
Remember to be a folder just with the roms, it will copy everything in the folder to your microSD
hmmm... Here's the thing though: everything else works. Including my super smash bros w/ NSMB2 header. That took a bit of fiddling to work the first time so maybe its a smash thing?
I always use windows format when I want exfat. Works great, Never had an issue.
That panasonic SD formatter is kinda retarded... never solved nothing for me.
Really never noticed any difference in performance or stability.if it never solved anything, then your issue just wasn't related to anything, it could solve
doesn't mean, that it doesn't work as it is intended to, though

That dumb website gives no details about the software's inner working... people seem to forget it uses the same generic file system functions from generic card reader drivers any other format software must use.
It can't do anything better than windows because it's tied to the same rules.
Placebo 4 life.
You can fix GW3DS fragmentation errors with Gateway 3DS microSD Tool.So a friend let me borrow his super smash bros cart and rip it.

This is correct.Not really, this happens when you copy something over after deleting something to make space.
Don't quote me on this, but it basically means that the file isn't in a single 'block' of data. Like it's split in two or more pieces of data instead.
There's absolutely no reason to uncheck 'quick fomat'.Everything else works because everything else is not fragmented.
You don't have to follow those complicated instructions though. Just copy all your roms out of the SD, format it (you can just use windows for this; make sure to uncheck "quick format", it'll take a while but it'll be thorough), and copy them back in.
This is correct.
I was under the impression that picking quick format (and thus actually leaving all the data there) could lead to fragmentation instantly upon copying some files into the device, probably as a result of how shitty Windows is. I seem to remember this happening to me once, but I'm not 100% sure.There's absolutely no reason to uncheck 'quick fomat'.
It will just take much longer to format. There's no real benefit in zeroing the whole the card.
Pick exFAT and quick format and it's ready in a second.
nope a quick format just marks everywhere as unallocated.....so just the same as a full format in terms of the possibility of fragmented files, but it just doesn't physically zero the driveI was under the impression that picking quick format (and thus actually leaving all the data there) could lead to fragmentation instantly upon copying some files into the device, probably as a result of how shitty Windows is.
