So i recently switched from the old 8GB micro sd card to a brand new, 1TB micro sd card. I had done the Full Format to Fat32 so the DS could handle it (I'm using the New 3DS XL)

I've gotten all the cias installed, including PKSM and Pokemon Rumble World

Now it won't install any cias. I've grabbed Pokemon Ultra Sun from various different websites as the 3dscia website is down for me.

Has been for a bit. I dont know if it was taken down or not. But i really need help. And I know i have enough room. I even tried doing a 3ds to cia convert. It would not work!

PLEASE HELP!

Sounds like your SD card is fake or dying. Test it by following https://3ds.guide/h2testw-(windows) (there are links for Mac and Linux there as well if you aren't using a windows pc).

If you get any errors at all (which I think is likely from what you've described) you should ask for a refund from wherever you bought the card, and get a new one from a brick and mortar store or online from a store with a good reputation (not just some random online storefront). Avoid ebay and Amazon third party sellers like the plague.

If you don't get any errors, then we will troubleshoot other things like not having formatted the card correctly or you accidentally turning off file extensions on your pc so you are attempting to install game.zip.cia for example.

Do what QuantumCat said, but also, how much did you pay for it?

I've done the test thing before and i got no errors. And to answer your question. I paid a little over 40 bucks on amazon. Mainly cause it came in a small bundle
Can you do it again and show the screenshot showing no errors? Don't forget the very important step of moving everything off the card and doing the test when it is empty.

There's no fucking way you can buy a brand new, authentic 1 terabyte (micro)SD card for US $40 at today's market prices.

Edit - Lemme, guess. This is the one you bought?
If that's the one, even if you can't tell already it must be fake due to the price you can tell by the reviews on the seller:
Like other cheap 1 TB cards, this item did not work. It failed silently whenever writing more than 32 GB.

Ordered a 400GB MicroSDXC card. Issues with downloading and retaining saved games, even after reformatting. Received a 250GB in a fake 400GB cover - verified with Switch and desktop. False advertising.
