How can I check if the sd card is real or fake without a windows computer? The cardboard looks high quality and it honestly looks fine, but I wanted to get some help from the GBAtemp gurus.
Format it as FAT32 32kb clusters with Guiformat, and run h2testw with the "read & verify" option. It will fail the test if it's fake.How can I check if the sd card is real or fake without a windows computer?

If you bought "sold and shipped by Amazon" it's most likely genuine.How can I check if the sd card is real or fake without a windows computer? The cardboard looks high quality and it honestly looks fine, but I wanted to get some help from the GBAtemp gurus.
It was bought and sold by amazon. Is f3x safe to use? Scared of getting a virus.If you bought "sold and shipped by Amazon" it's most likely genuine.
On Mac, f3x can be used as an alternative to h2testw.
It's safe, just don't get it from a sketchy source.It was bought and sold by amazon. Is f3x safe to use? Scared of getting a virus.
I bought one from Shopee :'-)How can I check if the sd card is real or fake without a windows computer? The cardboard looks high quality and it honestly looks fine, but I wanted to get some help from the GBAtemp gurus.
Well make sure to check it for errors with h2testw as detailed in my previous post, to make sure it's not a fake.I bought one from Shopee :'-)
It IS a fake lol just realized how bad it could be for the 3DS when i finished the purchase... Guess i'll use it for my phone.Well make sure to check it for errors with h2testw as detailed in my previous post, to make sure it's not a fake.
If it's advertised as having 32gb that means it has only 8gb or 16gb at most. The software will tell you for sure.It IS a fake lol just realized how bad it could be for the 3DS when i finished the purchase... Guess i'll use it for my phone.
BUT i used to have a fake one on my modded Wii, never had any problem with it. This one i bought is a 32gb, the recommended by Nintendo (it seems). I'll make a backup before trying it out, and i'll test it anyway.
Ohhh alright, i'll remember this, imma save this comment.If it's advertised as having 32gb that means it has only 8gb or 16gb at most. The software will tell you for sure.
Also if you intend on using it, there's maybe a software that helps switching it to its real storage capacity, just search online im sure you'd find something..
Don't go over its true max capacity, or everything will start going corrupt..
Can you use h2testw if the card already has data on it?Well make sure to check it for errors with h2testw as detailed in my previous post, to make sure it's not a fake.
No, you have to empty it beforehand, then format it as FAT32 32kb clusters and run h2testw with the "read and verify" setting.Can you use h2testw if the card already has data on it?
Why do I have to format it? I will just test the 300gb remaining.....No, you have to empty it beforehand, then format it as FAT32 32kb clusters and run h2testw with the "read and verify" setting.
Is waiting for a 10 second quick format really an issue for you?Why do I have to format it? I will just test the 300gb remaining.....
I already have 600gb of games on the card. Why would I format it if it more than likely isn't fake and I already have it loaded with games? Not sure why the snarky comment. Completely unwarranted.Is waiting for a 10 second quick format really an issue for you?
As long as you order them from an official retailer on Amazon, then you are free of fakes.I always buy my cards on Amazon from SanDisk directly, or in-person at a store. Guaranteed not to be fakes, and they're always on sale.
