Upgrade 3DS Storage 2023 guide (Without losing games and CFW) 

wait where can you do that by the way?

Thank you for that info. The guy from the video didn't do that

@@greatmasterofgenrewhen u are formatting it to fat32

I did what you say and it didn't work...

What you're supposed to do to keep your themes and themes music is your supposed to boot up your 3ds Power + Select and boot up Luma Settings and Enable Game Patching, I saw this on a forum and did it and it works for me

wow that is amazing :D unlimited storage XD

Your videos helped me mod my NEW 3DS XL all other videos go to quick and the guide continues me because it’s just text so thank you. A video idea would be universal updater Twilight++ good website for Ron’s and for modded games example the modded Mario Karts available

Bro unlocked a new cheat code

Yep, 3DS blocks are absolutely tiny

Meanwhile I am on problem with 4000 blocks left

Does 128gb require fat32 as well?

@@fhenja yes it does i had format it today

I can't believe this comment got lost in them all and I'm just seeing it now, I am super glad I could help you out :)

So if it’s a 32gb card I make a new file on my computer with all the data from the old sd card, then plug in the new micro sd card, move the file data to the new sd card and put it back in my 3DS? Just wanna get this right

@@Golden87432 you're wording it a little weird. You just have to move the files from one sd card to the other and they'll work because all of the same info will be on the new one. If you're confused or regardless, just don't wipe the first SD card until you're sure there's no issue with the new one. The only reason you're copying to a new folder in your computer is because we're assuming you only have a slot for 1 sd card. So yes copy everything from your sd card to a new folder. Then plug in your new sd card, and copy the contents of that folder to the new SD card, so it looks exactly like the old one. Then when you plug the new sd card into your ds, everything should look identical.

@@Moss-ec2hd alright thanks, so this is just for the 32gb right?

@@Golden87432 yeah or I think anything below 32gb should be fine. If you had anything higher than just follow his tutorial to format it as a 32gb card anyway, and then do the same thing. I ultimately ended up doing that because 32gb doesn't seem like enough when everything is free.

@@Moss-ec2hdthis reply helped me a lot! thank you!

To keep themes from reverting back to default, on start up press power + select to boot up Luma Settings and Enable Game Patching 🎉

cool, but why would you want 512gb? are you tryna install litteraly every 3ds game or smth, even with like 100 ds and gba games chucked in there thats like 300gb max

Lil question ded you use an 128 gig micro sd card because I wanna use that with an Adapter but I am not shure if it will work also have an 3ds xl thats why I am asking

@@dennissodamin4614Really late, but 128gb works. As long as you don’t try to use an sd card with more storage than that (like me rip) then you’re good.

Lol you bought one too huh? At least yours came with a 32gb. Mine came with a 4gb 😂😂

​@@Djdonthateyeaa I wanted a Nintendo 2ds xl soo hard

Are you talking about a microSD or the larger SD card that comes in the older models?

@@daloblast881 either one works it doesn’t matter which 3ds model u got

Well yes I’m just wondering if you have to do any of the Fat32 formatting for the larger SD card this way, if you have any idea.

@@daloblast881 Im gonna assume you do but I own the “New” nintendo 2ds XL So it comes with a micro sd

Okay, but that won't work if the larger USB hasn't been formatted correctly like in the vid. The adapter doesn't do anything in the vid, he's only using it because his computer doesn't have an sd card slot. He's just showing it off because it's how he connected the sd card.

Glad I can help!

It is easy just a lot of back and forth from pc to ds you probably already modded it tho

it does not work

for me at least

same

yoooo! Thank you so much. This was happening to me, you're an absolute legend. Thanks for sharing your fix!

You living legend

You living legend 🙏

I did everything you said, unfortunately still doesn"t show any of my apps. The photos are all there but nothing else

Jesus christ

Bros gonna download every game and still have storage left

@@jacotay2827 whats funny is that my wifi is absolute fucking garbage so it takes forever to download ANYTHING

@@advu_ same 😥😥i think thats mostly just because of the 3ds itself tho

​@@advu_its normal I have good wifi at my mom's house and it's the same downloading time at my dad's house with bad wifi

If your 3ds is homebrewed, the new one your switching to needs to be homebrewed as well. But as long as your SD card is fat32 like you said, you can transfer them over

if the microSD card is formatted and recognized by your N3DSXL despite being over 32gb, it will work with a system transfer. At that point it's no different than any other flash memory.

My NEW 3DS XL isn't hacked/homebrewed. Let me explain my situation, I'd greatly appreciate any help. :( I discovered my NEW 3DS XL is from UAE/Milaysia Singapore (serial number "QS"). However, my NNID and settings are on the United States region, and I have been using the US eShop. Can I do a system transfer to a US NEW 3DS XL (serial number "W")? Also, I know absolutely nothing of these kinds of things, when I formatted the 64GB card last year, it seems to be working fine for me... I haven't had any problems on my console since. I right click on the card and look at its properties, and it's FAT32. Does that mean I formatted it correctly? Is there other ways to check if I did it correctly? I want to know that I did it correct so that I'm sure doing a system transfer is safe and I won't run into any issues. I followed sthetix's and Jack Sorrell's tutorial on YT. And I'm specifically using the "64GB SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I card" (previous generation) from Amazon. I also discovered there's only one method in doing a system transfer for the NEW 3DS XL. Will a system transfer take longer with the 64GB card? Or will it be like any other system transfer? If you know or have any experience with system transfers using cards over 32GB, pls let me know!

Same

I am. I don’t understand what to do.

bro I thought you have a solution 😭😭

And everything transferred fine to the new SD card? That is very weird. Maybe try redownloading the luma files to see if that helps

Hold select while powering system on to open that menu. Look at the splashes option and make sure the X is selected to the "before" of "after" selection on the splashes line.

@@Lucas_Dixon tried that still doesn’t work

im going through the same thing, have you found a solution for it?

yeah just format it and DO NOT put it in the 3ds before you put everything on it and it should work@@auorai1548

by me its the same

same

FBI disappear from my 3DS when using the new SD card. Is the same that happened to you? Could you solve it?

I've got butter fingers XD

No, you'll have to install the hombrewed version of the 3DS on that console, then after that you can transfer your old games that you have backuped.

Yup you can!

They have good prices what can I say 😁
