As the title, on my current 2DS I'm using a 32GB Sandisk SDHC.
But does it support a 64GB SDHC or a micro SD card? :)

Sweet, thank you guys! :)

Ahh sorry mate, my bad I thought SDHC had 64GB :P

But does it also work with a micro SD? If not I'm just going to buy a SDXC :)
Mirco sd needs an adapter that is the size of a regular sd card and if 64GB and above also needs to be formatted to fat32. (unless you have a new 3ds which then you just put in the mircosd slot.)

Usually it would come formatted as exFat32. Just use a 3rd party tool to format it as Fat32. The 3ds from my experience didn't work with the exFat32 format.

Correct, the 3DS is incompatible with exFAT.

The 3DS is compatible with SDXC cards, but you need to format to FAT32 through the use of a tool that you have to download.

After you format it, if you're using a microSD and a new 3DS, just insert it.

If you're using a microSD and a old 3DS, you need an adapter.

If you're using a full sized SD and an old 3DS, just insert it. By the way, it won't work on a new 3DS.

If you change your mind and want a 128gb, you have to fill up at least 28 gigabytes before certain apps like DevMenu or FBI can read the card correctly.

I have like 2 micro SD cards that is 64GB and like 8-9 adapters i never use xD
I was about to purchase an SDXC card, but if the micro sd + the adapter works, i guess i will use that instead :)

Thank you guys! :D
