FAQ
Why not microSD Management?
While New 3DS models can do a similar method through microSD Management, said method has a number of downsides:
- microSD Management does not exist on Old 3DS models.
- microSD Management uses a protocol (SMBv1) that is only supported by Windows.
- Additionally, SMBv1 is heavily outdated, now a major security risk, and disabled by default on modern installations of Windows.
- microSD Management can cause random file corruption in use.
