I'm assuming you're not dumb and have evetything set up correctly.

Launch your 3DS into CFW, and go to the internet browser. Type in gbatemp.net and see if it loads properly. When still connected, run run.bat and it should work. Be sure to use Palentine CFW, NOT Govanify.

I'm not, I've gotten it before. Got a larger SD card, and have been having trouble with the CFW (freeze, CTRClient...)

Glad I'm not the only one getting this... I started with a 2GB and moved up to an 8GB, and now I can't even seem to Load CFW...

Moved to a 16GB. It loads, then almost immediately freezes. The funny thing is that it resumes as the system's shutting down

I'm trying to get DevMenu installed so I can get emulators and homebrew installed.

Why are you even trying to run CTRClient at all?

Why not just copy everything from the old card to the new one? You obviously have access to a computer to have been able to copy the required files to the new SD card.

There's no reason for you to need to do the entire setup process again... is there?

Simply copy/paste dont work with this stuff

Use win32diskimager to create a file .iso of your old sd card, than write this iso on new sd. After this, use EASEus partition manager for restoring the original size of the sd :)

With larger SD card sizes the 3DS either freezes in network mode or it doesn't connect correctly to the internet.(And then freezes)

I've been watching my 3DS' connection with various monitoring tools and as soon as the CFW loads the router can't find it any more. Even with the web browser open and loading pages, which I found odd. The router sees the system but isn't assigning an IP to it so nothing else can see it. Tried various routers, all the same result. Tried with linked and unlinked NANDs, cfw's rednand has correct network info.
Pings stop working as soon as the DS profile is opened and won't work until you reboot back into sysnand.

But it connects fine with a 2GB card. (Problems were happening on an 8 and 16GB card)

There is if I formatted it for emuNAND 9.5..... But I guess I can format it again

I was struggling with this for a while too, I was able to eventually get it to take by turning off my router's firewall AND my windows firewall...and even then it took several attempts before it finally stuck. Something about this step of the process just doesn't seem to work consistently. Obviously, please do yourself a favor and turn back on whatever you needed to turn off when this is done. I suspect other 3rd party firewalls might try and block it as well...

    @Sicklyboy is your fallout 4 playthrough that good or bad
  • bowlerhat @ bowlerhat:
    also sorry i had to do something
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @bowlerhat, bad in the sense that I never finished it, but good in the sense that I had fun getting as far as I got before I tabled the game
  • bowlerhat @ bowlerhat:
    @Sicklyboy the only thing that i dont like is that they simplified the perk system and nerfed the special system too much in my opinion

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    204 hours into the game, I got as far as meeting Valentine in Diamond City as far as the main story is concerned. I sidequested a ton and spent a lot of time on citybuilding. And this was all at launch, before there was even any DLC yet. So that's all a mystery to me
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @bowlerhat, agreed, and I also dislike how generic/basic the dialogue system is compared to FO3. But, it is what it is. I still enjoyed it despite all that

    @Sicklyboy almost all my epic games were free. I just bought maybe one or two star wars games, cheap though

    @Sicklyboy i didnt like fallout 4 that much compared to the previous games but it still has the replay value atleast

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @realtimesave, yeah that's what's confusing me, I was pretty sure I'd claimed free games on EGS before but I didn't have an email saved, "forgot password" didn't give me anything, and it let me register under my normal email and username. Wack
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Also couldn't find any email in my account from EGS in the past

    Fever dream shit :P
