I have had this on my to-do list for almost 4 years (having asked for similar info in 2018 according to search results) and I am finally getting round to doing it. Basically, I have a 3DS XL which I never updated to Luma etc, with a 32GB SD card in the 3DS SD slot storing all the ROMs and the gateway card being redundant except for triggering the profile exploit. I've got a blank 64GB card and I want to simply switch that for the 32GB one without messing about with the hack.

I tried just copying the data from the 32GB card to the 64GB one, but it didn't work, so I presume there's more to it but I wasn't able to find answers via google.

dunno how useful this info is to anyone, but I ended up cloning my 32G SD card to the 64G one using windows software, then extending the main partition to access the 32G of additional space.

sounds like a headache of extra work from a simple copy and paste. And a FAT32 32kbs format with something like guiformat.

    Update on my brother: He's home now, tired and hungry, obviously, but other than that, seems to be doing fine.

    That's a relief to hear. Do you know what happened?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But you still don't know what it was?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Has he had seizures before?
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    apparently stress can cause seizures, my brother had one during a test once
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had one before that, and never had one since
