Hacking Little Room for CIA Install?

[ChOcOcOwCaKe]

Just had a question, don't know if anyone has an answer. I'm using Gateway on the New 3DS and its all good but I installed majoras mask as a CIA and when I tried to install another game, the CIA said there was not enough room. I didnt know if it installed to the 3DS or to the SD in the back, so I switched to a larger SD and it still says that I dont have the room.
Any way I can get more room?

Your SD card space must be more than twice the size of that .cia file. So if you have a 2GB .cia file, you may as well get an 4GB+ microSD card.

Delete the Majora's Mask CIA (not the game itself). That should free up some space.

Yeah, since you have already installed Majora's Mask 3D, just delete/backup the .cia file since it's not needed anymore (unless you want to install it again).

What is the size of the larger sd card?

So the CIA DOES Install to the system then?

So i did have majora deleted, but the card Im using is only an 8 gb because 64s arent supported. So if installing monster hunter it said I didnt have the room. Is it installing to the sdcard or to the system?

It's going to the SD card, your system storage is only around 1 GB big.

CIA files are unpacked to the SD card, and title/Nintendo you own the game data is placed in band(tiny amount of data)

you should get a bigger SD card


also, 64gb cards are supported, just need to be formatted fat32 with a utility that ignores that fat32 was made like 90 years ago when 32 GB was unthinkable.

Alright, thanks everyone. I had a 64GB but it apparently went dead so I guess its time to shell out another ~ $60
Appreciate all the help.

an decent 32 GB SD card is gettable from 20 euro's so it'll be 40-50 for a 64GB one

I'm in Canada here, they range from like 55-75

I'm sorry for my ignorance but how do you do this? I can't seem to figure it out.

the formating?

There's threads here about it, easus have a good , free tool for doing it.
I've used their pro version for other things.

Get a larger sd card and delete the .cia files after installation.
