Hello! GBATemp! My 3DS will not boot (Black Screen, blue light) with boot.firm or boot.3dsx on my SD card, specifically, my 64GB card.

Things I have tried:
  • Tried to update Luma (even though im on the latest version)
  • Used another SD card (4GB, it worked.)
  • Did an SD test on my current SD card (No issues found.)
  • Tried the entire Black Screen unbrick page.
Things I cant do with SD card inserted:
  • Boot into Luma Config
  • Boot into gm9
If I try to insert an SD while gm9 is running, gm9 will freeze. If I try to insert an SD on the home menu, my 3DS will say my SD cannot be read.

TLDR: My 3DS hates this specific SD card unless boot.firm and boot.3dsx are removed.

So stop using this SD card? You seem to already have your answer. :glare:

It is meaningless to say this unless you specify exactly how you tested the card.

If you used h2testw, then you need to empty the card first.
