Hardware N3DS XL Maximum MicroSD card size

[mrbits]

Hey,

I have 2x 32GB microsd cards. One for my 3DS and one for the gateway card.

My question is, do 64GB SDXC work on both? I remember reading that if you use a 64GB card it will work, but only the first 32GB will be available - now that was old posts on a forum so it could be wrong now.

You have to format the card to FAT32, but I have a 128gb in both my N3DS and N3DS XL with no issues.

Make sure u use the right fat32 Format.. Or u have strange read issues with some homebrew.. (pasta, gateway loader)

It's a PNY 128gb SDXC (speed is the little U with a 1 in it so class 10)

I formatted it using minitool partition wizard. I used fat32, 32kb cluster, and made sure it was a primary partition.

Ah right thank you both for the reply.

I think for now I will stick to having a 64GB in my gateway card
