Do the Nintendo Store cards that they sell today work on the 3DS as well as the Switch, or should I pump my life savings into my eShop wallet before tomorrow

Check if you can buy 3DS titles directly through the Nintendo eShop online, and if it works, the game will download while your 3DS is in Sleep Mode https://www.nintendo.com/en-ca/store/products/kersploosh-3ds/

Also check if you have the latest firmware, try turning it off and on again, etc It's possible that you might have to update to a Nintendo Account (maybe the NNID is being sunsetted with the Wii U and 3DS) https://en-americas-support.nintend...endo-network-id

So, I tried reformatting a 128 GB card and copy/pasting the original I had into a laptop folder so I could copy/paste the “reformatted” (computer says it’s FAT32 but my not recognizing it) but the real problem is that my old 32 GB card’s data isn’t showing up at all on the 3DS, which includes the save backups or I wouldn’t really be that bothered. Can anyone point me towards a guide on how to handle this situation? Or just advice if they’re fellow screwups on how they got out of this jam?

Assuming you use custom firmware: I don't know about save back-ups, but I used faketik when I did a system transfer to recognize titles on the microSD that had been installed but didn't show up. https://github.com/ihaveamac/faketik/releases/tag/v1.1.2 Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 11:51 on May 30, 2022 |

I think I just followed this guide https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/309/~/how-to-transfer-data-between-sd-cards-or-microsd-cards, when I upgraded the SD card on 3ds when it was still stock. I think the trick is to not use the built in windows formatter when using fat32 because it's kinda bad.

Entirely wrong. It's been discussed several times. The official support ends at 32gb, at which point you either have to use a custom firmware formatter on the 3DS (someone made a tool for godmode because it's such a pain), or know what you're doing using Linux and setting the right filesystem parameters. Up to 32gb you can just use the card without reformatting it, or use the SD Association tool. That guide doesn't have any information for cards above 32gb. Which isn't surprising.

There are multiple tools that worked fine once upon a time and may still do so. Or they may not work past Windows 7, or they may be broken by any given Windows Update, aaand I have a dedicated Windows XP machine I never connect to the internet or update for the really grouchy tools.

Walla posted:Are you ok? The Windows formatter - the one built into Windows - was changed in Windows 10 in a way where it can't format drives above 32gb as FAT32 anymore. Some version of that tool was able to do it, but not the current one. This broke a bunch of other things too. That was the reason I went "gently caress it, time to learn to do this with Debian so it never ever changes".

You were the one without any homebrew weren't you though? Which means it's, what, GBA titles that break in visible ways, and the remaining issues manifest as weird jitter? The partition issues happen with emunand, and that formatter shouldn't create any alignment issues without partition issues (don't quote me on that, as far as I'm concerned it's yet another weird internet download people are going "trust me bro" about). And it boots and accesses the SD card, which wouldn't happen with every other problem on the list. It's not like the situation involves Chain of Memories.

Hey at least it isn't the Wii, that one starts complaining about cards larger than 2gb if you're unlucky.

i had the tearing issues with my 128gb card and they were resolved by using the right cluster size. it wasn’t a big deal. i copied my data to another drive and reformatted. it’s resolvable. i no longer have those issues. cards larger than 32gb work fine with that one trick.

Well unless you're using a partition for NAND redirection. Also the right cluster size depends on the card, and for some cards there is no right cluster size. You could do the legwork and figure out if a card works ahead of time by benchmarking random access speeds. What will failed reads do to the firmware hacking process? Will hacking with a SDXC card cause more corrupt FAT issues?  The questions are not important if you have the hardware for ntrboot, at least.

Like, use a third party app to format FAT32 with like a 32 bit cluster size and you should be good to go. Like this is quite literally what I did with my 128 gb card. I did shell out the extra for a Nintendo branded one so maybe that's part of it.
