- 8: BONUS DRIVE / IMGNAND TWLN: This provides access to the bonus drive on SysNAND. The bonus drive can be setup via the HOME menu on 3DS consoles that provide the space for it. When a NAND image is mounted, this provides access to the mounted NAND image's TWLN.
My NAND is 1.2GB. I have a N3ds XL. How do I get a bigger NAND? I think I need a NAND bigger than that.
Desolder the mainboard, get a new one, solder /screw it back in, depending on how the mainboard is on the 3DS,
Why do you need bigger NAND and why do you want to set up bonus drive?
I would like to be able to store things on it.
EDIT: I need a bigger NAND to create a bonus drive right?

it's possible only if your 3ds nand chip is the 1.8gb model....

seriously???? getting bigger NAND??? do you have any idea about what you said?
Without replacing your mainboard?
You'd have to desolder the CPU and NAND and solder in ones from another console (the NAND and CPU are tied together so you can't replace jist one)
I know of someone who has done it (it was their way to create a legit (non region changed) US small n3DS before they were officially released in US), and even though they are good at soldering and used every trick in the book they still had to get professional help to get them soldered on, which also cost money. Probably not something you'll be able to do. Getting them off is the easy part.
And replacing the mainboard is probably not worth it for 600MB extra space you can't really use for anything other than file storage when you could just get a bigger SD card.
OP, If you want to install CIAs to your NAND, your best bet is probably a h&s injection (which works for small CIAs only). Even 3DSes with pre-installed games on them don't have the game on the NAND, it's on the included SD card.
OK, I won't do that then. But why is it that some 3ds consoles have bigger NANDs?

Nevermind, I found that the Toshiba NAND is bigger than the Samsung NAND
OK, When I get the money, I will buy massive amounts of 3ds systems and find at least one with a big NAND, then sell the rest.

or buy a larger SD card and save a lot of money and headaches
Well..... I guess I could buy a 200GB microSD and format it to FAT32.
EDIT: Maybe even 256GB

I could use it to store some of my roms. (GBA, GB, GBC, NES, etc.) Possible even store some important things. (Passwords, etc.)

Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
