Hacking 3DS Gateway SD Card

[pLaYeR^^]

Which SD Card should i use for Gateway on the Nintendo 3DS? Which writing and reading speed is good to go?
Thanks in advance!

I assume you mean microsd that goes within the gateway cart.
Really any legitimate card that is class 4 or over will be fine. Avoid ebay unless its a known trusted seller.
The class ratings are write speed, and cards are always faster to read than write. Read speed is what really matters for running the games and class 4 cards are fast enough.

Having said that I use a 64GB Class 10/UHS-1 sandisk ultra microsd, the extra speed is nice for when transferring games over to it via your PC.

If you are getting a MicroSDXC card (64GB or larger), make sure you have a card reader that is compatible. Many cheaper MicroSDHC readers wont work with the newer SDXC cards.

If you are going to use a regular 3DS (not an XL), you may wish to purchase a 4GB or larger SD card (full size not micro, the one that goes directly into the 3ds) also.
The regular 3ds shipped with a 2GB SD card which is too small for using gateway emunand.
XLs ship with a 4GB SD card which is large enough.

Thanks, i use the same micro SD card
I got the XL Version so no need for larger SD card.

EDIT: Will the 3DS boot faster in Gateway mod, if the SD card is faster?

Genuine Sandisk/Kingston Recommend, Please don't use no brand cheap cards
higher Class of course better, but Class 4 is ok too

I run with a 128gb sandisk. Gets the job done.

I use a Toshiba 16GB micro SD of eBay.
