Hacking How to transfer everything including CFW from primary SD card to larger SD card

[MSearles]

If I wanted to transfer everything from my 3DS SD card, would it be as simple as copy/pasting everything into a new SD card and inserting that card into the 3DS? I'd like to transfer to a larger SD card. A 64GB SDXC. I'm using Luma3DS Sysnand only

It's that simple.

It's that simple.

So no formatting the new card?

If your new SDcard is SDXC, then you need to format it to FAT32.
After that, it's only a matter of copy and pasting.

I did just the exact thing this same morning. I use AL9H and Luma as well. I used the windows utility "diskpart" to generate a new partition (somehow the existing partition on the card had free space at the beginning) and Guiformat to format in FAT32.

While copying the complete content of the old card I once inserted the new empty card into the 3DS, dunno if this is necessary.

After copying the filed I used the 7zip function of generating an SHA256 checksum to be sure everything went fine although this is just me being a bit paranoid

Is it that simple even if we have an emunand on the SD card ?
(I use A9LH with emunand)

You must use a tool like 3DS Multi Emunand Creator to move the emunand separately.
