Cards >32GB are formatted as exFAT by default which the 3DS doesn't support and Windows' built in formatter won't even format them as FAT32, so it's probably still in exFAT. You can use guiformat or Minitool Partition Wizard to format it as FAT32.Hi,
I upgraded from a 32GB to an 256GB Micro SD Card.
I copied all the files over but when I boot the 3DS up, after 1 second it just turns off.
(My 3DS has Luma3DS).
Make sure it's formatted as FAT32.
The 3DS doesn't support reading exFat formatted cards.
Already did it with the MiniTool.Cards >32GB are formatted as exFAT by default which the 3DS doesn't support and Windows' built in formatter won't even format them as FAT32, so it's probably still in exFAT. You can use guiformat or Minitool Partition Wizard to format it as FAT32.
Defolyst.What brand is the SD card? Have you ran h2testw on it to check its full capacity? Also, 256GB is a bit overkill for the 3DS. 64GB or 128GB would be plenty for it.
Ok I'll try thanks.try allocation size of 64kilobytes. I know I had some issues with gba injects at 32kilobytes. I think it's recommended for larger cards.
Thank you so much! It worked!!!the problem I was having with gba games is that part of the bottom of the image was cut off and reappeared at the top of the screen. 64kilobytes fixed it as @TurdPooCharger suggested. I either have a 128GB or a 256GB card (can't recall which) now. I may have upgraded the micro sd card after buying a larger card for the switch. I know it's at least 128GBs.
From what I heard it's the other way around, people seem to have more problems with 64KB.try allocation size of 64kilobytes. I know I had some issues with gba injects at 32kilobytes. I think it's recommended for larger cards.
You bought a fake SD card. Marketed 256 GB cards have actual capacities of ~238 GB (give or take).
Most SD cards that are 64 GB and bigger come preformatted in ExFAT from the factory. Leon reformatting his card to FAT32 (and other settings) is just changing the file system to a standard that the 3DS understands.alright, I'm confused. he said that changing the allocation size worked.
