Hacking Tried upgrading my SD card size... can't launch freeshop or install cias with fbi anymore???

modshroom128 · Mar 2, 2018

I have an old 3ds xl which i hacked with soundhax following every single step of this guide https://3ds.hacks.guide/installing-boot9strap-(browser)

Yesterday I decided to buy a 64gb micro sd card to upgrade from my 32gb card. someone told me that all i had to do was boot up the 3ds while holding start to get into godmode, put in the 64gb sd card, and format the SD card and click auto for the partition size. Once the card is formatted i put it in my computer and just dragged every file from old 32gb card to the new empty card. then i popped in the new 64gb card into my 3ds. Launching my games worked just fine and my custom themes and apps all loaded but for some reason I can't launch freeshop and I can't install CIA's using FBI anymore. Freeshop boots into the retail game Nintendo 3ds splash screen then crashed into black screen when it dissapears and fbi just crashes when i try to install a cia.

Did i do something wrong? Do I have to re-hack my 3ds from scratch to fix this problem or something?

I really hope I didn't waste 20 dollars on this 64gb card :/

Did you test the card with h2testw?

yes it is legit

when formatting my sd card in godmode it asks me if i should install fullemunand redemunand or no emunand. would formatting it and selecting full or no make a difference?

does the cluster size make a difference? should i not have done auto?

If you didn't have an emunand beforehand you shouldn't need one now. Cluster size shouldn't matter either.

another development. since i have another non XL old 3ds i hacked, i tested to see if i could do the same thing and get the sd card to work on it. and it did. i formatted it the same way, copied all the files over. and for some reason i can use freeshop just fine and install fbi files.

what the hell. did i do something wrong when hacking my XL? the only difference between my nonxl and xl when i hacked them is i remember i might have check marked "Boot into emunand mode" wheninstead of just selecting

“Show NAND or user string in System Settings”

when configuring luma 3ds

also for some reason my old 32gb sd card become F: and G: when i put it in my computer (although windows asks to format F

but my 64gb card is only G:

could this be why i'm having problems? is there some weird dual partition thing going on with my old card and my 3ds is setup to react to it or something

If you go back to ur original 32G card where you have everything working and goto System settings what does it say
Make sure u have show nand or user string in system settings then you can find out what ur working system was running on

I don’t have any seperate emunand experience so idk if you created one by booting into emunand mode or what you said u checked by mistake

Sounds like you were maybe using emunand

Cluster size does matter.

For 32GB and below, use 32K clusters.
For 64GB and larger, use 64K clusters.
