I have a New 3DSXL running Luma CFW and 64gb micro SD I have a 128gb Micro SD card. Can I clone the 64gb to the 128gb and pop it in my 3ds without any other changes?? Thanks

BTW I'm on a Mac

Do you have arm9loaderhax?
If so, it's just a simple copy-paste operation(that assuming that you're not using emunands)
If you're using menuhax/emunand, you'll have to use emunand tool https://gbatemp.net/threads/emunand-tool-release-and-support-thread.359239/ or emunand9 to clone your emunand to an emunand.bin and flash that emunand to a new sd . then copy your files

I bought the 3ds used and was already modded but on the sd card it has arm9loaderhax.bin file and it's on 10.7.32U Luma 5.4

1. Format new SD as Fat32
2. Backup emuNAND on old SD using EmuNAND9
3. Format emuNAND on new SD using emuNAND9
4. Restore emuNAND backup to new SD using emuNAND9
5. Copy files from old SD to new SD


This is the proper was to do it. You can use programs to make an image of your card to copy to the other, but it may cause problems (example, not relevant to you, but: Gateway fails to boot if emuNAND is removed with a PC program and not emuNAND9 which does the job properly the way the console needs it to be done).

okay, so I'm assuming you're running arm9loaderhax Updated Sysnand.
First, you can update to the latest version, and update to the latest version of luma3ds
https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/releases/
copy the arm9loaderhax to the root of the old sd overwritting the new one.
Copy-paste all the files to the root of the new sd

In that case just format the new card as Fat32 and copy the files over.

If you're using a9lh, say so when you're asking for help :-p I assumed plain Luma.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze

    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
