IHaveNoIdeas: add some preliminary Wii U stuff

{{Page WIP|notes=I tried my best to make this generic, but my knowledge is very 3DS-specific. I need other people who are experienced with other consoles to edit or provide guidance.}}

This page documents recommendations for purchasing SD cards.

==Brands and stores==
Only well-known brands are recommended. These generally include:

*Samsung
*Kingston
*Lexar
*SanDisk (except for Wii)

Other brands may work but are not as widely tested for reliability.

Only buy brand-new SD cards. The best place would be a local brick-and-mortar store if possible, as this has the highest chance of avoiding fake cards, while also letting you get a new card in your hands immediately. Amazon is the second best place, but be wary of fake cards. Don't buy from other online marketplaces like AliExpress, Temu, or eBay.

Nintendo-branded SD cards do not offer anything different compared to other cards, and should be treated as just another option. These generally do not come with a microSD-to-SD adapter, meaning one would need to be acquired separately to use on a console that only accepts full-size SD cards.

SD cards larger than 2 TB do not currently exist (as of January 2026).

==Wii==

SD cards up to 2 TB can be used. Very old games, and the Wii Menu before 4.0 cannot read SD cards larger than 2 GB.

SD cards above 32 GB must be formatted to FAT32. Use the [[Formatting an SD card]] guide to do this.

Any brand new genuine SD card will be faster than what the Wii can handle. The Wii can only read up to 25 MB/s. The only reason to buy faster SD cards is for data transfer speeds between PCs and other devices.

Avoid SanDisk cards if possible, due to the issues the newer ones produced tend to have with certain software, such as BootMii.

==Nintendo 3DS==
SD cards up to 128 GB are recommended. Anything larger will cause slowdowns, such as increased boot time.

SD cards above 32 GB must be formatted to FAT32. Use the [[Formatting an SD card]] guide to do this.

Any brand new genuine SD card will be faster than what the 3DS can handle. Class 4 (4 MB/s) is the fastest the 3DS can handle, and any cards produced today will be much faster than that. The only reason to buy faster SD cards is for data transfer speeds between PCs and other devices.

==Wii U==
SD cards up to 2 TB can be used.

SD cards above 32 GB must be formatted to FAT32. Use the [[Formatting an SD card]] guide to do this.

SD cards cannot normally be used to store Wii U games and will not appear in the data management section of System Settings. With [[Wii U:ISFShax|ISFShax]], it is possible to use the [https://gbatemp.net/threads/655744/ SDUSB Plugin] to emulate a USB hard drive with a partitioned SD card.

Any brand new genuine SD card will be faster than what the Wii U can handle. The Wii U can only read up to 25 MB/s. The only reason to buy faster SD cards is for data transfer speeds between PCs and other devices.

For running rednand or SDUSB, a high endurance SD card is recommended.

==Nintendo Switch==
SD cards up to 2 TB can be used.

The recommended filesystem is FAT32. Use the [[Formatting an SD card]] guide to do this. While exFAT can be used, the filesystem driver used by Nintendo is buggy and prone to corruption.

To get the fastest read speeds, get a card that is rated for UHS-I or higher.

<p>Nimbus allows for switching between Pretendo and Nintendo Networks. To use Nimbus, launch it from the HOME Menu or the Homebrew Launcher, and select either '''Pretendo''' or '''Nintendo''' to switch between the two networks. While on the Pretendo Network, launch a [https://games.pretendo.zip supported game] to play online with other Pretendo users.</p>
<p>Some features, notably Pretendo's Miiverse replacement Juxtaposition, will require a PNID to function. A PNID is a unique identifier, functioning the same as Nintendo's NNIDs. To create a PNID open '''System Settings''' -> '''Nintendo Network ID Settings'''. Alternatively, [https://pretendo.network/account/register register for an account] using the Pretendo website, and then link an existing PNID instead. Currently, accounts created from the website will have dummy account info, it's recommended creating it from the console at this time. It's possible to change the account information from a Wii U.</p>
<p>Launching Nintendo Badge Arcade on Pretendo servers will remove the official badges as it is still unsupported by Pretendo, currently it's not recommended to open the Badge Arcade app.</p>

3DS:Sonic Decompilations

2025-10-18T22:12:48Z

IHaveNoIdeas: correct nxdt link

This tutorial will take you through setting up the Sonic Decompilation 3DS ports.
{{critical|text=If you are on Old 3DS, then every game except Sonic CD will not work! Special Stages will run poorly across all games on both Old & New 3DS.}}
{{critical|text=Due to these forks of the decompilations being heavily outdated, there are some things to note before starting:
* Data files from Sonic Origins will not work
* Script mods for RSDKv3/RSDKv4 cannot be installed due to the decompiled scripts using an updated syntax, which these versions do not support}}
=== Technical Details (optional) ===
These ports are based on the decompilations by the {{GitHub|RSDKModding}} group for the mobile versions of Sonic 1, Sonic CD, Sonic 2, and Sonic Mania.

They require a <code>data.rsdk</code> file from a legal copy of the game(s) to be able to run.

Note that if you have any payload files other than GodMode9.firm in the <code>/luma/payloads/</code> folder on your SD card, holding {{B|Start}} on boot will display a “chainloader menu” where you will have to use the {{B|D-Pad Up}}, {{B|D-Pad Down}}, and {{B|A}} buttons to select <code>GodMode9.firm</code> for these instructions.

{{critical|You '''cannot''' do this guide without having installed Luma3DS and boot9strap first. If you have not done so, start from [[3dsguide:get-started|this page.]]}}

{{warning|Performing a CTRTransfer may break extended memory mode games (Monster Hunter, Super Smash Bros, Pokemon Sun/Moon) on Old 3DS/2DS devices. If this occurs, you will need to format the device (using TinyFormat or System Settings) to fix the issue.}}

User:IHaveNoIdeas/Restore-LFCS B

2025-06-11T21:19:13Z

IHaveNoIdeas: actually work on this again

{{Infobox software
| title = Restore-LFCS_B
| for3ds = 1
| developers = Preloading
| version = 1.2
| releasedate = 2024-10-19
| github = Preloading/Restore-LFCS_B
| githubtag = v1.2
}}
'''Restore-LFCS_B''' is a Godmode9 script that attempts recovery of the console's [[3dbrew:Nandrw/sys/LocalFriendCodeSeed_B|LocalFriendCodeSeed_B]] file. This script is intended to be used in the event a mismatched or malformed LocalFriendCodeSeed prevents the use of online services such as [[Pretendo]].

==Required Reading==
This script is only meant to be used if certain errors occur when attempting to use online services, these being error 002-0121 on both Nintendo Network and Pretendo, or 002-0150 (custom Pretendo error), which are often accompanied on Pretendo by error code 022-2402 on services utilizing Nintendo Network IDs.

Error code 002-0121 indicates the LocalFriendCodeSeed signature is invalid. However, on Pretendo this can indicate the patches aren't being applied correctly. Ensure Luma3DS is on version 13.0 or higher, the <code>Enable loading external FIRMs and modules</code> and <code>Enable game patching</code> settings are both enabled, and that the Luma3DS configuration menu states <code>Booted from SD via B9S.</code> If all Luma settings correct, attempting to reinstall Pretendo may help in case the patches are broken. If after checking the Luma settings and reinstalling Pretendo the error still appears, or if the error occurs on both Nintendo Network and Pretendo Network, this script will be needed.

Error code 002-0150 indicates the LocalFriendCodeSeed doesn't match the console's serial number. Upon connecting to Pretendo, the console sends both its LFCS and serial number to the server. If the LFCS is already associated with a different serial number on the server, or the serial has been used with a different LFCS, then this error will appear and this script will be needed.

==Instructions==
===What You Need===
* The latest release of [https://github.com/Preloading/Restore-LFCS_B/releases/tag/v1.2 Restore-LFCS_B]
* A device that you can use to transfer files to your 3DS, either via an SD slot or via [[3DS:FTP|FTP]]

=== Section I - Prep Work ===
# Power off your console and insert the SD card into your device
# Follow [[3dsguide:restoring-updating-cfw.html|Restoring / Updating CFW]], then the "Updating GodMode9" and "Creating a NAND backup" sections on [[3DS:GodMode9/Usage]]

<br>If you do not have a specific reason to follow this guide (i.e. both consoles are usable), do [[3DS:System Transfer|a System Transfer]] instead.}}
{{shortcut|3DS:MM}}

= Required Reading (Do NOT ignore) =

This guide can potentially cause unexpected results if done wrong. Please ensure you read the steps carefully to prevent these unexpected results from happening.
<br>Additionally, ensure you have read the following three warnings to have a full understanding of the potential risks of this guide.

{{critical|text=Do '''NOT''' use a <code>movable.sed</code> from Bruteforce Movable as your system movable (in general, but especially not for this guide). Doing so may cause other issues with the system, and '''WILL''' result in a guaranteed brick if you uninstall CFW while using that movable. Always keep a backup of your original <code>movable.sed</code> if you do so.}}

{{warning|text=If you have already done this guide at any time before the date 2024-08-11, then uninstalling CFW will brick your console, as FixupMovable (which is done by the script) is required to avoid crashing on stock firmware.
<br>If this applies to you, you can fix stock firmware by booting into [[3DS:GodMode9|GodMode9]], copying your <code>movable.sed</code> from <code>1:/private</code> to the '''destination console''''s SD root, copying <code>MovableMoveover.gm9</code> to the <code>/gm9/scripts/</code> folder on the SD card, and then doing the instructions from Section II onward on the '''destination console''' only.}}

{{warning|text=Any games/savedata/themes/DSiWare that was already on the destination console's SD card will become inaccessible once the guide is completed - you will only be able to use the data transferred over from the source console. To access the destination console's data again, you must undo the moveover.
<br>The script extracts the original versions of those files so you are able to undo it if you need to - ''do not lose those files.''}}

{{info|If the above warning will cause issues for you and you are willing to take extra steps to avoid it, you can instead use [[ninfs]] to merge the source console's encrypted files onto the destination console, then [[3DS:Rebuild Title Database|rebuild title.db]] to make any merged games/apps appear.<br>
However, note that even this method will '''not''' bypass the issues of using a Bruteforce Movable <code>movable.sed</code>.}}

If you are confused in any way, join [https://discord.gg/C29hYvh the Nintendo Homebrew Discord] and ask for help in the 3ds-assistance channels.

== What You Need ==

* Two 3DS consoles, both modded with [[3DS:Luma3DS|Luma3DS]]
** These will be referred to as the '''source console''' and '''destination console''' for this guide's purposes
** If either console is not currently modded, stop and mod it with [[3dsguide:|our custom firmware installation guide]] first
* The '''source console's''' <code>movable.sed</code>
** If you have the '''source console's''' <code>essential.exefs</code> or <code><date>_<serialnumber>_sysnand_##.bin</code> backup, such as the ones created in [[3dsguide:finalizing-setup|our guide's Finalizing Setup]], you can use one of those instead
** You may also dump it from the source console using [[3DS:Dump system files#movable.sed|this guide]] if you have neither file in the sub-bullet above ''and'' you have GodMode9 access
* The '''source console's''' <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder
**this should contain the data you are trying to transfer
* The latest version of {{GitHub|/ihaveamac/faketik/releases/latest|faketik}} (the <code>.3dsx</code> file)
* The latest version of {{GitHub|d0k3/GodMode9/releases/latest|GodMode9}} (the GodMode9 <code>.zip</code> file)
* The latest version of [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nh-server/scripts/main/3DS/MovableMoveover.gm9 MovableMoveover.gm9]
** To download, right-click/long-press the link and select <code>Save link as...</code>, or similar, then rename the downloaded file to <code>MovableMoveover.gm9</code> if it is not named exactly that

== Instructions ==

=== Section I - Prep Work ===

{{info|Follow these instructions on the '''destination console''' only.}}

# Power off your console and insert your SD card into your computer
# Copy <code>GodMode9.firm</code> from the GodMode9 <code>.zip</code> to the <code>/luma/payloads/</code> folder on your SD card
# Copy the <code>gm9</code> folder from the GodMode9 <code>.zip</code> to the root of your SD card
# Copy <code>MovableMoveover.gm9</code> to the <code>/gm9/scripts/</code> folder on your SD card
# Create a folder named <code>3ds</code> on the root of your SD card if it does not already exist
#* This folder stores homebrew applications and data; it is different from the <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder that the console automatically generates
# Copy <code>faketik.3dsx</code> to the <code>3ds</code> folder on the root of your SD card
# Copy the '''source console's''' <code>movable.sed</code> to the root of your SD card
#* If you have the '''source console''''s <code>essential.exefs</code> or <code><date>_<serialnumber>_sysnand_##.bin</code> backup, you can copy that file to the root of your SD card instead
# Copy the '''source console's''' <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder to the root of your SD card
# Reinsert your SD card into your console

=== Section II - Setup Script ===
# Hold {{B|Start}}, and while holding {{B|Start}}, power on your console
# Your console will have booted into GodMode9
# If you are prompted to create an essential files backup, press {{B|A}} to do so, then press {{B|A}} to continue once it has completed
# If you are prompted to fix the RTC date&time, press {{B|A}} to do so, then set the date and time, then press {{B|A}} to continue
# Press {{B|Home}} to bring up the action menu
# Select “Scripts…”
# Select “MovableMoveover”
# Follow the prompts in the script, answering any questions that you are asked
# Once the script completes your console will have rebooted
# Your console may act like it has just been formatted - this does not mean your data has been lost. If it does this, proceed normally through initial setup and get to the HOME Menu

{{info|text=The destination console's original <code>essential.exefs</code> and <code>movable.sed</code> files will be in <code>sd:/gm9/out/MMM_Backup</code> on its SD card. It is highly recommended to back up these files to a safe location.}}

=== Section III - Reinstating Apps ===

# Launch the '''Download Play''' application
# Wait until you see the two buttons
#* Do not press either of the buttons
# Press {{B|L|DOWN|SELECT}} at the same time to open the Rosalina menu
# Select '''Miscellaneous options'''
# Select '''Switch the hb. title to the current app.'''
# Press {{B|B}} to continue
# Press {{B|B}} to return to the Rosalina main menu
# Press {{B|B}} to exit the Rosalina menu
# Press {{B|HOME}}, then close '''Download Play'''
# Relaunch the '''Download Play''' application
# Your console should load the '''Homebrew Launcher'''
# Launch '''faketik''' from the list of homebrew
# Wait until the process is completed
# Press {{B|START}} to exit
# Reboot your console

{{success|text=The moveover is complete. Congratulations for performing a complex procedure.}}

3DS:Error codes

2025-05-06T15:34:57Z

IHaveNoIdeas: added info for 003 errors

{{hatnote|1=This page only lists error codes that are always handled by stock parts of firmware. If the error in question is handled by custom firmware, the pages on [[3DS:Error screens/Luma3DS exception screen|"An exception occurred" screens]] and [[3DS:Error screens/Luma3DS ErrDisp|Luma3DS ErrDisps]] will be relevant instead.}}

{{info|Not all 3DS error codes are known or understood, and it is unlikely all codes will ever be documented in full due to Nintendo failing to document many of them. As such, this page can be considered a living document - any information written here will likely be subject to frequent changes.}}
On both stock and custom firmware, apps can cause errors if they run into a non-fatal issue.

This page lists various causes of stock error codes.

== Reading an error code ==
An error code has two parts - the code itself, and its official description.
[[File:3DS error code.jpg|center]]
For this page, only the code matters.

== Known errors ==
In the below tables, error codes are separated into sets by their section (e.g. 007-XXXX) and then sorted within their sets in ascending order by their result code (e.g. XXX-2001).

3DS:Error codes

2025-05-06T15:04:11Z

IHaveNoIdeas: some section renames

{{hatnote|1=This page only lists error codes that are always handled by stock parts of firmware. If the error in question is handled by custom firmware, the pages on [[3DS:Error screens/Luma3DS exception screen|"An exception occurred" screens]] and [[3DS:Error screens/Luma3DS ErrDisp|Luma3DS ErrDisps]] will be relevant instead.}}

{{info|Not all 3DS error codes are known or understood, and it is unlikely all codes will ever be documented in full due to Nintendo failing to document many of them. As such, this page can be considered a living document - any information written here will likely be subject to frequent changes.}}
On both stock and custom firmware, apps can cause errors if they run into a non-fatal issue.

This page lists various causes of stock error codes.

== Reading an error code ==
An error code has two parts - the code itself, and its official description.
[[File:3DS error code.jpg|center]]
For this page, only the code matters.

== Known errors ==
In the below tables, error codes are separated into sets by their section (e.g. 007-XXXX) and then sorted within their sets in ascending order by their result code (e.g. XXX-2001).

3DS:Error codes

2025-05-06T14:59:19Z

IHaveNoIdeas:

{{hatnote|1=This page only lists error codes that are always handled by stock parts of firmware. If the error in question is handled by custom firmware, the pages on [[3DS:Error screens/Luma3DS exception screen|"An exception occurred" screens]] and [[3DS:Error screens/Luma3DS ErrDisp|Luma3DS ErrDisps]] will be relevant instead.}}

{{info|Not all 3DS error codes are known or understood, and it is unlikely all codes will ever be documented in full due to Nintendo failing to document many of them. As such, this page can be considered a living document - any information written here will likely be subject to frequent changes.}}
On both stock and custom firmware, apps can cause errors if they run into a non-fatal issue.

This page lists various causes of stock error codes.

== Reading an error code ==
An error code has two parts - the code itself, and its official description.
[[File:3DS error code.jpg|center]]
For this page, only the code matters.

== Known errors ==
In the below tables, error codes are separated into sets by their section (e.g. 007-XXXX) and then sorted within their sets in ascending order by their result code (e.g. XXX-2001).

3DS:Fastboot3DS to boot9strap

2025-04-13T20:28:23Z

IHaveNoIdeas: add config folder and grammar change

{{lowercase title}}
==Required Reading==
[[3DS:fastboot3DS|fastboot3DS]] is a firmware loader alternative to [[3DS:boot9strap|boot9strap]]. It offers some enhanced features compared to boot9strap such as the ability to chainload payloads, display splashes, backup/restore your NAND, and more. Although there is no issues with running fastboot3DS with modern CFW, most homebrew guides will assume you are running boot9strap which could make troubleshooting difficult if you are unsure of how fastboot3DS functions. If you would like to learn about fastboot3DS you can read more on its [[3DS:fastboot3DS|wiki page]], otherwise continue with this guide to move your setup to boot9strap.

==Instructions==
===What you need===

*the latest release of [https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases/latest Luma3DS] (the Luma3DS <code>.zip</code> file)
*the latest release of [https://github.com/d0k3/SafeB9SInstaller/releases/download/v0.0.7/SafeB9SInstaller-20170605-122940.zip SafeB9SInstaller] (direct download)
*the latest release of [https://github.com/SciresM/boot9strap/releases/download/1.4/boot9strap-1.4.zip boot9strap] (direct download)

===Section I - Prep Work===

# Power off your console
# Insert the SD card into your computer
# Copy <code>boot.firm</code>, <code>boot.3dsx</code>, and <code>config</code> from the Luma3DS <code>.zip</code> to the root of your SD card
# Create a folder named <code>boot9strap</code> on the root of your SD card
# Copy <code>boot9strap.firm</code> and <code>boot9strap.firm.sha</code> from the boot9strap <code>.zip</code> to the <code>/boot9strap/</code> folder on your SD card
#Copy <code>SafeB9SInstaller.firm</code> from the SafeB9SInstaller <code>.zip</code> to the root of your SD card
# Reinsert your SD card into your console

===Section II - Installing boot9strap===

# Press and hold {{B|HOME}}, and while holding {{B|HOME}}, power on your console. This will launch the fastboot3DS menu
# Select <code>[+] Boot from file...</code> -> <code>sdmc:</code> -> <code>SafeB9SInstaller.firm</code>
# You will have booted into safeB9SInstaller
# When prompted, input the key combo given on the top screen to install boot9strap
#* If the top screen is blank, power off your device and re-do Section II
# Once it is complete, press (A) to reboot your device
#* Your console may have rebooted into the Luma3DS configuration menu
#* Luma3DS configuration menu are settings for the Luma3DS custom firmware. Many of these settings may be useful for customization or debugging
#* For the purpose of this guide, '''leave these options on the default settings''' (do not check or uncheck anything)
#* If your device shuts down when you try to power it on, ensure that you have copied <code>boot.firm</code> from the Luma3DS <code>.zip</code> to the root of your SD card

3DS:Luma3DS to boot9strap

2025-04-13T20:24:44Z

IHaveNoIdeas: /* Section I - Prep Work */ Add config folder

==Required Reading==
Luma3DS can be installed as a bootloader instead of [[3DS:Boot9strap|boot9strap]] or [[3DS:Fastboot3DS|fastboot3ds]], but unless you exactly know what you're doing, you don't want it as it makes updating Luma3DS more difficult and removes some troubleshooting options as it ignores <code>boot.firm</code> on the root of your SD card if it exists. On this page, you will find instructions for going back to boot9strap. If Luma3DS is installed as a bootloader, <code>Booted from SD/CTRNAND via FIRM0/1</code> will be displayed in yellow on the bottom screen in the Luma3DS configuration menu.

==Instructions==

===What you need===

*the latest release of [https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases/latest Luma3DS] (the Luma3DS <code>.zip</code> file)

#Copy <code>SafeB9SInstaller.firm</code> from the SafeB9SInstaller <code>.zip</code> to the <code>/luma/payloads/</code> folder on your SD card
#Reinsert your SD card into your console

===Section II - Installing boot9strap===

#Press and hold (Start), and while holding (Start), power on your console. This will launch SafeB9SInstaller

Pretendo is an open-source project that aims to recreate [[w:Nintendo Network|Nintendo Network]] for the 3DS and Wii U. This includes but is not limited to, game servers, [[w:Miiverse|Miiverse]], friends-lists, and more.

==Installation==
For 3DS, [[udb:3ds/nimbus|Nimbus]] is available on Universal-Updater. For Wii U, Inkay is available on the [https://aroma.foryour.cafe/package/inkay Aroma Updater app and website] or on the [[hbappstore:wiiu/inkay|Homebrew App Store]]. Manual installation instructions for 3DS, Wii U, and Cemu can be found on the Pretendo website [https://pretendo.network/docs/install/ here].

==Usage==
<tabber>
|-|Nintendo 3DS=
<p>Nimbus allows for switching between Pretendo and Nintendo Networks. To use Nimbus, launch it from the HOME Menu or the Homebrew Launcher, and select either '''Pretendo''' or '''Nintendo''' to switch between the two networks. While on the Pretendo Network, launch a [https://games.pretendo.zip supported game] to play online with other Pretendo users.</p>
<p>Some features, notably Pretendo's Miiverse replacement Juxtaposition, will require a PNID to function. A PNID is a unique identifier, functioning the same as Nintendo's NNIDs. To create a PNID open '''System Settings''' -> '''Nintendo Network ID Settings'''. Alternatively, [https://pretendo.network/account/register register for an account] using the Pretendo website, and then link an existing PNID instead. Currently, accounts created from the website will have dummy account info, it's recommended creating it from the console at this time. It's possible to change the account information from a Wii U.</p>
<p>Launching Nintendo Badge Arcade on Pretendo servers will remove the official badges as it is still unsupported by Pretendo, currently it's not recommended to open the Badge Arcade app.</p>
|-|Nintendo Wii U=
Inkay allows for switching between Pretendo and Nintendo Networks. To use Inkay press {{B|L + DOWN + SELECT}} on the Wii U Gamepad to open the Plugin Menu, then press {{B|A}} on '''Inkay'''
* To connect to Nintendo Network, set '''Connect to the Pretendo Network''' to <code>false</code>
* To connect to Pretendo Network, set '''Connect to the Pretendo Network''' to <code>true</code>

3DS:Moving SD Cards

2024-12-19T19:51:10Z

IHaveNoIdeas: 2TB Cards exist now

{{warning|<translate nowrap> This guide is for moving to another SD card to be used in the same 3DS, as the data is encrypted per-console. If you intend to transfer your content to a ''different'' 3DS, see [[3DS:System Transfer]].</translate>}}
{{nutshell|<translate nowrap> If the SD card is above 32GB, it must be formatted first: [[Formatting an SD card]]|Don't use the SD card in the 3DS prior to copying data to it, or games and other applications may not appear.|Copy all the files over to the new card.</translate>}}
<translate>

Transferring your data to a new SD card (for example, if you would like more space) is relatively easy, but there are a few things that you should take note of:


* The 3DS can only read SD cards formatted as FAT/FAT32 (''not'' exFAT or NTFS). SD cards 64GB and larger ship as exFAT, so if your card is of that size then you will need to [[Formatting an SD card|reformat your SD card]].
** Formatting your SD card will delete all data on it, so if there is any important data on it, make a backup of it first.
* Due to cluster issues, the 3DS runs into weird issues on SD cards 200GB and larger (in particular, custom themes no longer stay applied and GBA VC has screen wraparound issues). Loading time also gets exponentially longer the larger the card is.
* SD cards do not currently exist in capacities above 2TB. If you bought a card of such a size, you've been scammed. You should not use the card to save any important data (including 3DS data) due to data integrity concerns.


Assuming you've taken the things above into account, just copy and paste everything from the old SD card onto the new SD card and everything will be transferred.

<tabber>
|-|<translate nowrap> Everything disappeared after the copy</translate>=

<translate>

There are a few reasons as to why this may happen:
* The SD card is not being read; try reinserting the SD card and ensuring that there is no dust or moisture
* The SD card is not formatted as FAT32
* You have used this SD card in this 3DS before and it created a new data folder to avoid accidental data merging


In the final case, navigate to <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> -> <code>(32-character-ID / ID0)</code>. If you have multiple 32-character IDs inside of this folder, delete the ''smaller'' one of the two.

<translate>

Your SD card isn't being read ''and/or'' you don't have <code>boot.firm</code> on internal memory for some reason. Ensure your SD card is formatted as FAT32 and that there is no dust or moisture in the slot. If all else fails, you may want to [[Checking_SD_card_integrity|check your SD card for errors]].

Wii U:Moving from Tiramisu to Aroma

2024-12-06T15:48:20Z

IHaveNoIdeas: /* Instructions */ Capitalization

Tiramisu has been replaced by Aroma, therefore making it outdated and not supported anymore. This guide will show you how to move from Tiramisu to Aroma.

Aroma is an environment like Tiramisu, so they are launched the same way, but it offers more features compared to Tiramisu.

In order to use services like Pretendo, you will need Aroma, as they have ended support for Tiramisu.

Please note that the Homebrew Launcher is no longer used on Aroma.

===Section I: Getting Aroma===
# Download the latest release of the [https://github.com/wiiu-env/AromaUpdater/releases AromaUpdater] (the Tiramisu release).
