Formatted it fat32?My old sd card was formatted. I had copied the contents of the old sd card before hand to my computer tho. I tried copying the old sd card files to the new sdcard after quadruple reformatting and loading that into the 3ds, however that didn't work. The home menu displays no icons and says an sdcard cannot be detected. The system can boot into gm9 though. If another thread exists please help me find it. I'm really stuck here
i did get an error the first time, but it did not directly indicate hardware error. If I run into the error again, will i have to assume the SD card is dying?
yes it is
Do you recall what that exact error was? Was the readout "The media is likely to be defective." like this image (right side)?
Hi
I ran the test again and it shows everything to be all right. I remember it did not say this media is likely to be defective. In this case what are the proper steps to transition from my old to my new sd card? Thanks a lot man I appreciate it.Hi sorry to bother you so much. But I went and used gm9 off another sd card to format the sd card directly on the 3ds and the 3ds was able to register the new FORMATTED sd card. This led me to copy all the data from the old to the new sd card. However now the 3ds doesn't even recognize there is an sd card in the slot? doesn't even give me "an sd card was not detected" warning.
Copying and pasting the Nintendo 3DS folder from one SD card to another can often lead to the 3DS firmware creating a second <ID1>. If that happens, move the dbs, extdata, and title subfolders from the original <ID1> to the blank <ID1> -or- delete the dummy <ID1>.
Hey man I finally fixed it!!! Almost all thanks to you
thanks for everything I really appreciate it.
