How to upgrade to a bigger SD?

Post by mixtopher » Sun Sep 14, 2014 7:33 am

Since the SD the 3ds came with was only 2GB I am trying to upgrade to a new 16GB one but I am unsure how to transfer the data off of the 2GB?

Is there now way to access the card through the 3ds with the capture card cord??

I really dont want to spend $20 on a USB SD card reader? Any help would be nice :(

You cannot access the SD Card via any cable as the 3DS does not support that.

To upgrade you can simply copy data from SD card to your PC/MAC and copy it back onto the new SD card.
You will though new a SD card reader to access the data.

Yeah, unfortunately you need a card reader. Maybe a friend has a laptop/desktop that has a built-in reader? The process itself is pretty fast once you download the suggested program: http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com ... n-sd-cards
