Homebrew CIA Files automatically deleted upon putting SD Card into 3DS

[Minas_Mayth]

Hi All!

I recently installed Luma3DS on an Old 3DS Using the 3DS hacks guide method, and everything seems to be working fine, except that I can't install CIA Files. I have downloaded multiple different CIA files, and can put them onto the "cias" folder on the SD Card no problem. However, when I put the card into the 3DS, all CIA files are automatically deleted. I have tried using boop, but its very slow and I'd rather do the process with my SD Card.

A quick answer would be greatly appreciated!

have you tried formatting your sd?

How so? The SD is already formatted on FAT32 with MBR Partitioning. Should I format it again and then copy over the old files?

Copy everything off your SD card, reformat it in [ FAT32 file system | 32 KB cluster size | MBR disk | Primary partition] (for thoroughness, see quadruple reformat), and full Write + Verify the empty card in H2testw.

You must ensure your card isn't fake or dying. If an error was reported, it'll have to replaced.

Try using the .3dsx version of FBI's "Install over QR Code". Some HB databases like TinyDB shows you the QR code needed.
