Homebrew Can you convert sdxc cards?

[Mountfuji27]

I recently bought a 32gb sdxc card without knowing that the 3ds only takes sdhc, so i googled it and yeah there is a guide on it but i want to make sure if it works by asking here. Also if it does work, how do i transfer the contents from my old sdhc card to the converted sdxc one? Do i have to hack the sdxc card again or do i just copy paste everything?

32GB should be default formatted as FAT32. 64GB and above are formatted as exFAT by default. If you need to format you can use tools like Minitool Partition Wizard or Guiformat.

just copy and paste if it's a 3ds.

So if i were to just convert it, then copy paste it would work like normal? It is really that easy?

Yea you can use card larger than 32GB, just need to be formatted first before copying files over.

Welp i am dumb, i did not even realized that the sd card i bought is actually sdhc and not sdxc. And on top of that the sd card keeps making me format it after i copy pasted the files over, guess its broken/faulty. Thanks for telling me though

well for SDXC is from 64gb and above only, SDHC is from 16gb - 32gb max.
there is no SDXC 32gb, not sure where you got that card from , but 32gb is SDHC only, not SDXC or the sd card you got had fake info that it is sdxc?

to convert SDXC cards to FAT32 as they are in exfat by default, you can use said progams stated above.

hope this helps you.

Sdxc is 32GB and up to 2TB, largest sdxc on market is 1TB, costs around $300

Sdxc is being superceded soon by sduc with up to 128TB limit
