Got a new 3DS eh? Nice! You ought to use that 64GB micro SD in that system. It's the same setup I've got. Just be sure to reformat the card as a FAT32 partition, since the 3DS (and all too many portable devices) doesn't support exFAT. (The lack of support is MS's fault. They decided to make it proprietary so everyone's gotta license it from them, and well, why would they do that when there's plenty of free alternatives? Really, portable device makers would be better served with a more modern file system such as EXT4, but MS has never bothered adding in built in support for that file system, so that option wouldn't work well for most consumers either. Frankly, if MS decided to ditch support for FAT32 in their next OS update, at least that would push device makers to consider newer options since "general PC support" would no longer be an argument against it.)
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
