The 3DS haves a 32GB limit in the SD port.I use a Kingston 64GB and it's pretty nice.

Anything past 32GB has to be formatted to FAT32 for it to work.The 3DS haves a 32GB limit in the SD port.
It's not that it has a limit, it's that it's unsupported officially after a certain size.The 3DS haves a 32GB limit in the SD port.
Nintendo just says anything over 32GB isn't supported because those cards should be formatted in exFAT and the 3DS doesn't support that.The 3DS haves a 32GB limit in the SD port.
My SDXC works perfectly without any issues (other than the 3DS being a little slow to load the home menu if I install too much crap)SD (32MB to 2GB) - Works
SDHC (4GB to 32GB) - Works
SDXC (64GB to 256GB) - Works and some times cretaes garbage data
all based in my own experience and wht I have read in some places
I guess those file operations are handled by the weak ARM9 CPU, and remember source and destination are in the SD so read and write operations can't be simultaneous.I have a class 10 64gb Samsung evo+ red SD, is there any way to speed up CIA installation.
I have formatted it several times (Fat32) and I have moved and replaced all files to remove fragments. I use BBM and it takes a minute just to start installing, then pretty slow process.
Nope. Same speed as any other card.It seems that SDHX cards (over 64GBs) are really slow in a 3DS console...
Gonna try later:I guess those file operations are handled by the weak ARM9 CPU, and remember source and destination are in the SD so read and write operations can't be simultaneous.
It's always gonna be slow regardless of SD card size.
Nope. Same speed as any other card.
Remember to format the 128GB one with a big cluster size (64K should be the best)Gonna try later:
SanDisk 128GB VS Samsung EVO 16GB
Both Class 10 U1
Will install B.Default on both
Will check installation time and will tell you if there is any significant differences
32k works great maybe 64k can be triedWhat cluster size should I format my 64gb Evo+?
So i'm starting to install on my 3DS the games i already own in .cia format. At first the installation times were beareable, with 40 min. for a 1.2 GB game and the likes, but things has been turning progressively worse, to the point that a 700 MB game took 6 hours yesterday. It was insane.
I'm using RxTools on 10.3 as CFW on o3DS, and FBI as installer injected into the H&S app. Also, my microSD is a 16 GB class 10.
LOL!!!! I bet Nintendo didn't expect me to have 2 class 10 200gb Sandisk cards with over 3000 games each either....LOL!!!!32k works great maybe 64k can be tried
Btw FYI
when people say more than 32gb is unsupported it means they never tested the console with a higher than 32gb card
the same applies to ram i have seen systems rated for 2gb-4gb ram running 8gb+ because unsupported literally means at the time of making they didnt test it
tbf i think nintendo didnt expect more than 32gb of files to be installed on the 3ds lol
If Nintendo said SDXC SD cards were supported people would complain when the card wouldn't work in the 3DS, because it comes formatted in exFAT and even windows only formats them in exFAT.tbf i think nintendo didnt expect more than 32gb of files to be installed on the 3ds lol
tbf also the 3DS came out in 2011 imagine how much 32gb SD cards were costing back then also the limited amount of store contentIf Nintendo said SDXC SD cards were supported people would complain when the card wouldn't work in the 3DS, because it comes formatted in exFAT and even windows only formats them in exFAT.
