Hardware Old 3DS doesn't read new SD card

[80085]

So I just bought a new 32gb SDHC card for my 3ds, but the console refuses to recognize the new card. The card works well in the pc (I formated to fat32) and my 3ds still reads well my old SD card, I don't know what to do, can anyone please help?

A full fledged SD card and not a mSD in an SD card adaptor?

It's indeed a mSD card in a SD adaptor, but I put on the PC with the adaptor and works fine

I tested it came out all ok, and after I formated with the indicated program by Nintendo... I think i will have to buy a SD card after all =/

If he formatted correctly, the card isn't bootleg, and the adapter work then it is fine to use micro sd even though recommendation is to use a regular SD.

You have to full Write + Verify test the card empty. If it passes, do quadruple reformat.

Does the 3ds read any other sd cards?

Did the OP solve the problem? I'd like to know if Micros in adapters are viable alternatives (I have a 64gb spare MSD in a drawer somewhere!).

All the adapter does is run connectors from the traces on the micro card to the larger size, there is no kind of conversion going on. Whatever the problem here is it is not the adapter unless the adapter is faulty.
