Hacking 1/2.h2w? Delete or no?

[InTheBeef]

Does anyone know what these 1/2.h2w files are? I need space to move over my NAND backup and they take up 1.4/1.7gb of the SD, not sure I want to risk just deleting them, even if I backed them up.

No clue, probably safe to delete.
Why not use the 4GB card included with the 3ds?

Mine came with a 2GB, don't most?

Iirc theyre from a program to test for fake sd cards called h2testw. But check first.

They seem to be involved in a process that checks your sd card for errors. This guide https://github.com/majia67/3DS-ARM9LoaderHax-Guide/blob/master/_pages/F3-(Linux).md claims you can delete them after verification.

Do you remember doing anything like this? When did these files appear on your sd?

Ah! That's definitely it, I did run that, guess that's what "Write" was, thanks!

No, it comes with 4. Did you buy it used?

I believe the original old3ds's came with 2gb cards. Now they spoil us with 4gb ones.
