Yes, but you need to format it with guiformat. I've had a 64GB SD for over a year and didn't have any issues
(The reason why you need that program is that the SD needs to be formatted in FAT32, and Windows doesn't normally allow formatting a >32GB SD card in FAT32)

oh perfect I will get 32 G instead Thanks.

You CAN use a bigger card, you just need to format it with that program and you're good to go

I'm about to buy R4 for 3DSXL with newest firmware, I need to install cfw and to use it for NDS games.
Apparently there are so many selection of R4 at nds card

I saw on their selection are:
R4 3ds (red color),
R4 3DS dual core (white color),
R4 3DS RTS Lite (also white color),
R4i Gold 3DS (gold color), and
R4i Gold 3DS Pro (gold color)

The correct choice is this:

• R4i Gold 3DS Plus

Pay slightly more for a pinnacle DS flashcart.

Edit - The R4i Gold 3DS (gold color) would be a valid choice, except the R4i Gold 3DS Plus is a slightly better, updated version of that cart.

so..

• R4i Gold 3DS Plus

can be use for playing NDS game and also for hacking CFW ?

Thank you in advance.

Yes, you can use it for both. Installing CFW with an R4 is quite easy

If you really want to keep your console with FW 3.0 you could even create an Emunand/Rednand and leave your sysnand as it is. Not that with the current methods is needed, but it is an option you have.

Safe to say that you would need a bigger card for that

EmuNAND is only going to give you problems

oh perfect I will get 32 G instead Thanks.

32GB is too small, the best size to fit retro games, DS and 3DS games is 128 GB. Even if you're just playing 3DS games, you might find 64 GB to be just a tad too small. Some games are upwards of 3GB each, for example if you like Monster Hunter and Pokemon those games tend to be big.

haha good thing I haven't get the micro sd yet, so 64 GB should be ok right but even better with 128GB ?
and then after that I have to format with FAT32 is that correct?

Thank you

correct

 

[Hopey123]

sorry another noob question haha,....
If I do format with FAT 32, is that mean my micro sd limited only for 32G? (even though I have the 64G)
is that mean when I put the games only can use the space of 32G ?

Thank you.

Thank you.

fat32 is the file-system format, by default sd cards bigger than 32gb use exfat the problem is the 3ds only reads fat32 and your pc cant "naively" reformat exfat to fat32 (unless you know command line commands) i recommend using EaseUS Partition Master Free to reformat the sd card

but to answer your question no it will not affect the capacity of the sd card

oh thank you so much, I getting know better.
Also I checked on the flash card website, why R4i Gold pro cheaper than R4i Gold 3ds ?
and I'm not sure if R4i Gold pro has the switch to play nds games and 3ds boot
