Just a suggestion, wouldn't it be better to use the case/metal part as the GND instead of a pin ?
edit: why would you remove the post
no because then you would have to wire the shielding from the usb cable as the gnd to the sd adapter

The case metal was, for some reason, causing issues for some (including me). Grounding to that pin made all the difference.
if you bought the adapters i linked you will have to use needle nose pliers or something to bend these wings off before you can fit it inside.
Those are the ones I bought, yes. Can I just bend them down/in rather than break off?
at your request. heres how i did mine
thanks i'm going to be doing this also only i'm going to add data3 to pin 4 and i have ordered a microusb cable extension that has 5 wires so i can have that functionality just in case i need to un-brick.
links to the said extension cable?

ordered yesterday can't wait for it to get here
i have my doubts, but prove me wrong and let me know when you get it if it actually has wires to all 5 pins
I'm really curious how do you manage to solder wires to micro usb connector... the pins are so damn close??
The other option is to be like me and buy a micro USB extension cable, the cut it in half and strip the now-exposed wires.sd adapter soldering is tricky too, but it's not that hard... but only looking at micro usb connector pins discourages me - short, and very close to each other...

So, how on earth are you actually sldering this?
I get the wires on the micro usb port but they just bend and break when I drop it into the 3DS housing.
