Homebrew broken sd card from homebrew 2dsxl is there a way to use the ds again

Xander_eight · Jan 21, 2020

My micro sd card broke and i would like to run my ds again, but whenever i turn it on, it won't boot. it just flashes the power light. I got a replacement sd card and am trying to figure out what to do next.

Place boot.firm on root of SD card

is that all i need? because i tried adding all sorts of things like luma and FBI
and it didn't work even with the boot file

n2ds xl should be under boot9strap, as it got released after the first release of boot9strap, so yes boot.firm at the root of the SD card should be all it takes

also, is 64 gigs too big of a card?

as long as the card is formatted as fat32, it should be fine

how do i do that? when i go to format it doesn't say fat3s

under file system, the exFAT needs to be FAT32

Xander_eight · Jan 21, 2020

won't let me choose that as an option. the only other option is NTFS

Use Guiformat app for windows,the OS doesn't support format an SD card in fat32 that is bigger than 32GB.
Remember to close all Windows explorer windows or the app'll crash

Edit: After that u formated the SDcard and replace the boot.firm as they told u above,follow this and install all the basic apps that u need
