I'm having a pretty weird issue with one of my 2 old3DS XL systems.
I bought two identical 128 GB SD cards, and formatted them using GodMode9.
On the first system this worked flawlessly.
On the second, GodMode9 recognizes the card, but when I turn on the ds it loads my theme and badges but not my titles. H2testw showed no errors, but my 32 GB card loads everything fine.

So I thought it was a card issue.

But I swapped the 128 GB as a test, and the card that didn't seem to work works fine on my first system, and the card that did work on my first 3ds doesn't load the titles on the second.
So both the 128 GB cards work fine on my first system, none work on my second, though the 32 GB card works fine.

Anyone have a clue how to fix this?

The Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, and Nintendo 2DS systems are compatible with SD cards up to 2 GB in size, and SDHC cards of 4 GB and larger up to 32 GB in size. All other SD Card types are not considered compatible. miniSD and microSD cards are compatible with the use of an SD card adapter.

SDXC and microSDXC cards are not considered compatible.

Hope this helps!

The 3DS is compatible with any SD card as long as it's formatted to FAT32.
Are you using a micro SD in an adapter? Maybe it's an electrical contact problem.
You could stick some adhesive tape on the back of the adapter, on the opposite side of the contacts, to increase the pressure against the slot's pins.

    Pre-ordering was a bit nuts but I somehow got two orders lined up. Walmart went live early with a queue system that was actually extremely stable and I was able to snag one for shipping, no in-store pickup.

    Target.com went down immediately but the app was up for a little longer before going down and a couple of friends managed to snag pre-orders there, but it was $10 extra for release day shipping also with no local pickup.

    Don't give up on the Best Buy line! I waited for 35 minutes before the page automatically refreshed and asked me to re-login, I thought I was done for but after I re-logged back in it took me immediately to checkout with 10 minutes to complete the purchase.
  • TeconMoon @ TeconMoon:
    Best Buy local pickup is what I was going for so I'm glad it panned out. I had some rewards certificates waiting to be used and got some money back on my Best Buy credit card. Gotta get me that midnight pickup!
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @TeconMoon walmart keeps going in and out of stock. I'm worried about ordering 1 more and having cancellation since I already ordered 1 tho
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @TeconMoon I got booted out of the best buy line in one of my browsers dunno what's up with that
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:

    I think people are disliking the idea of jumping social media sites over politics
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Well, I do find that silly.

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:

  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    @Skelletonike bluesky claims to be decentralized like mastodon, problem is that for some reason they decided to create their own protocol for that, I've not seen a single other instance using it
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Yeah, 4chan was a bit sus... Probability of finding a trap when clicking on something was... Too high.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Well... When it comes down to, it's all for money.
  • SillyBee @ SillyBee:
    What is hilarious is that a lot of old 4chan users used to complain it became really mainstream lmao

    Will say it was one of the last few sites that didn't go all fancy css with everything
