Hacking Question SD cards managing

[Zolmastrian]

Hello guys, I'm following this subforum on a daily basis and today I decided to sign up.

Here's my question (I think that it's not been asked yet). I can't wait to have great retrogaming sessions thanks to Atmosphere but I just realized that I don't know how it will manage my sd cards. Can I have multiple sds? I'm planning to have like 1 sd for nes/snes, 1 sd for N64/gb/gbc/gba, 1 sd for GC, etc. I prefer multiple small sds rather than a big one.

Maybe it's to soon to know that. If that's the case, I'm sorry for the dumb question.
Thanks

Why have multiple sd cards when you can buy a 265gb and use that for all your ROMs?

If you read the FAQ you would know that 64gb card is the recommended minimum, emunand needs 32gb reserved just for that, and then additional stuff will obviously require more. We don't have all the specifics, but I would not get anything less than 64gb for homebrew. Personally I bought a 128gb card so I can fit my growing digital collection and homebrew.

Cannot afford that

It costs the same price to.pay for multiple sd cards tho

I don't get this logic

Well, let me explain. I already have a couple of 64 gb cards and I was wondering if I could use those.

Plus, 64gb cards get discounted very often while 128 and 256 ones get discounted rarely.

Yeah man, same as the 3DS was for a while, it's called EmuNAND.

Yeah you can do that, you will need to setup emunand on all of them, and have the appropriate emus+ roms so it will take some time to setup + not all sd cards seem to he supported so you will end up learning from trail and error.
