Can't make SD card 32kb

[Rheamfflash]

I'm trying to use a 64gb sd card on my 3ds but it's simply not working. I believe it's the cluster size after formatting it, even when using guiformat to make it fat32 it only goes down to 512kb and when using nintendo's recomended sd card formatter it goes down to 64kb while making it exfat.

I'm really dumb, please help me.


Edit: I found out that my card is faulty and counterfeit, that's why it wasn't working.

Use 64kb cluster size for your 64GB sd card, if not, i would recommend testing it h2testw to make sure it's not faulty or defective. if it is defective, it'll give you more problems down the line if you don't check it first.

I tried to do that but the card still doesn't work. The 3ds recognizes the card but it doesn't work. I can't download anything into the new card via eshop and everything I copy from the old card becomes faulty and doesn't work.

Wait, your problem isn't "Can't make SD card 32kb" as stated? It's your problem a non working 3ds? If is that the case you need to try to restore your 3ds functionality, for that go to the several guides here on gbatemp or re do the 3ds hack following the instructions on https://3ds.hacks.guide/

Before anything backup your SDcard, format using fatformatgui, then use H2testW to test it and when you are sure the SD card is faulty free start the reparations on the 3ds. If a SD card fail then use another card

So I folowed CoolMe's advice and I ran a test on my card and it turned out that the 64 gb card is faulty on itself. I'm sure my 3ds is working fine because I tested him with a bunch of smaller cards I had an all of them worked.

Thanks for the advice, it turns out not only my card was faulty but it's also a counterfeit one.
