Just to get through all the obvious stuff off the top...
Everybody get that? Okay.
So, I had issues with file corruption on my 64gb micro SD card, and had to reformat it. I decided that just be thorough I'd not try to copy any of my old files to it, and instead just start from scratch, letting the hardware treat it as a brand new card. I used MiniTool Partition Wizard to format it in FAT32, and even looked up a guide on setting up a 64gb card to make certain I wasn't forgetting or screwing up anything. Afterwards, the card works fine as a micro SD, except that my New 3DS XL refuses to recognize it. Its the same system that I was using the card in literally minutes before formatting, so nothing should have changed. All the same, nothing but "Could not detect a microSD Card." errors every time I start the system up. Even tried reformatting again, just in case there was an error the first time. Tried that twice, in fact. Since I don't think that my hardware remembers the card that betrayed it and stopped returning its calls, what the hell is going on, here?
- No, it was not a fake SD card.
- Yes, it was formatted in FAT32.
- Yes, it was working prior to being formatted.
- Yes, in the same n3DS.
- Yes, my PC can read it.
- Yes, I can move files to and from it on my PC.
- ...and read those files from the SD.
- The contacts on the 3DS are clean.
- Yes, I really did actually for real test all this really.
- No to just whatever TurdPooCharger thinks the issue is. Whatever it is, I'm certain you're wrong, have probably tested for, and definitely already decided to ignore your input. Don't even reply. Seriously.
