Homebrew 128 GB SD

[XXXTORTELLINI]

I'm really new to the 3ds hacking scene and I would like to know if I am able to use a 64 or 128 gigabyte micro sd even if it is sdxc?

If formatted correctly yes!

You will need to format the SD card to Fat32 using a PC would be easiest. I got a 128gb card for my one 3ds and a 64gb for my other i got.

3DS consoles are not optimized to run anything over 32gb but its possible. Just use a external program to format it to FAT32 and it will run it. Despite it being completely unlikely, expect some random crashes.

Format it to FAT32 w/ 64k, mine's on that and runs smooth, only problem is I need more 3DS games

what program need for format? and old3ds support 128GB?

doesn't make a difference if old or new 3ds. they officially support only up to 32GB but you can format a higher card to fat32 and usually works fine
(people reported some slow loading on 64 gb+ cards or some crashes, but usually works fine)
any format program will do, if you are on windows you can use https://fat32-format.en.softonic.com/

keep in mind, format will delete all data on the sd card, so move the stuff to another place if you care about it

the cluster size is supposed to be 32k as far as i remember the 64k also works but for all games like gba etc 32k is the best option

No issues on my side, haven't tried for emu n such, only 3DS/Homebrew games(including ScummVM/easyrpg)

Yup works just fine if it's formatted correctly

Use an external app to format it to FAT32 and use 32k cluster size but, 128GB cards work flawlessly (In my case N3DS).
The only thing that I have noticed with my 128GB Samsung is that it takes a couple seconds longer to get everything loaded after powering up the device.

I have a 64 gb samsung and yes it takes little longer to load but works flawlessly, another thing when i first wanted to use the card it was being used in aky3ds plus, i formatted the card and the 3ds wouldnT recognise the sd card than after two failed attempts on good formatting softwares i triesthe gui format for 64 bit and voila the card worked

Same as me, took me 3 different attempts with various formatting programs to get my card to read. 64 bit GUI Format was what worked for me.
