Hacking Big blue menu 128 GB help

[Deleted User]

First of all, you CAN'T have a file bigger than 4096 MB on a FAT32 partition.

He can put multiple 4096MB files to fill up the space, then.

Second, a 64 GB card can be had for $30 or less

Okay.

Third, a 64 GB card will have less lag than a 128 GB

Yeah, I'll give you that.

Fourth, if he doesn't play that many games, he's better off with an even smaller card like 32 GB

To be honest, it depends on what games he's putting onto there, how many games he's putting onto there, and what size the games are. I mean, I'm using a 16GB card, and I barely have all the games that I want on there and the card is already all full up from stuff like Senran Kagura and Xenoblade Chronicles (BIG roms), so I would really go for either 64/128GB. (in this case 64GB)

None of this matters, he obviously got the card working right away otherwise he wouldn't have got as far as trying to install the cia.

His problem is either the cia file itself or something else entirely.

At first I didn't believe the talk about empty space because I had just copied over my 64 GB to my new 128 GB and DevMenu and BBM were working.
Then, I got a N3DS and I wanted to use the 128 GB on that so I formatted it and started over with the N3DS.
Well, BBM and DevMenu stopped working until I copied over 6 x 4096 MB of dummy files. Empty space was at 89.9 GB or so.

It's true and instead of yapping about it, buy one yourself and try it.

OK, since it went over your head I'll try to explain it more slowly... look at the first, second and then third posts in this thread. He started it because he couldn't get BBM to work. I replied to give him the solution (which btw I discovered myself after I bought a 128GB card), then he got as far as trying to install the cia and it said it was invalid.

All the subsequent talk was irrelevant. If the card was still the problem then BBM wouldn't have let him get as far as trying to install the cia.

The CIA files do work I'm using the cias on my 32 gig

That doesn't mean there wasn't an error copying them to the 128GB. Anyway, did you try FBI as suggested? If you are get the invalid error across the board then obviously the problem is not BBM's limit with the free space.

FBI did work

Certain CIA I have can only be installed with devmenu tho like hyrule warriors

 

[subcon959]

How much free space do you currently have on the 128GB?

 

[runetoonxx2]

80 gigs

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I resized the partion

I used BBM to install Hyrule Warriors on a 128GB. There's something weird going on here and I'm not sure what it is anymore.

I even tried redownloading it and it worked on 32 gig but not 128 (80 gig resized) and I found that really weird and when I transfered the emunand over mhx and fire emblem if appeared but all other CIA didn't that wasn't a homebrew app

Didn't we have this discusion on another thread, where I didn't believe in the empty space theory?
http://gbatemp.net/threads/emunand-problem-with-128-gb-sd-card.410389/

Now I do believe in it because I experienced first hand

 

[subcon959]

Possibly, I've seen a few of these threads pop up recently as 128GB cards get more affordable. I ended up using FBI and BigRedMenu until I randomly tried BBM again one day and it worked fine so I figured it was some sort of free space check that was crashing.

Anyway, it's good to have a few different cia managers installed for this kind of thing. There doesn't seem to be any consistency with what works with which cia.

Exactly, so I have BBM, DevMenu and FBI on my sysnand and emunand (installed on SD).
I use BBM for everything that doesn't require overwriting, and if I do need to overwrite system files, say, I'll use DevMenu for that.

I'll use FBI for stuff like looking at individual system files to see their version and size, etc

 

[narutonic]

Hum if i remember , BBM is just a rebanned/renammed DevMenu...

 

[Pacman`]

Correct, but I'm talking about an earlier devmenu version 0.15.8(r37904), which allows overwriting system titles
