About microSD Card capacity
If you begin to run out of room on your microSD card, first try deleting undesired photos, sound files, or software using the Data
Management feature in System Settings (page 35). If you still need more room, you can purchase a higher-capacity microSD
card and move all of the files onto the new card.
You can save software to a new microSD card without copying the content over,
but later it will not be possible to re-save to a single microSD card.
Use a PC that has an microSD card slot or a commercially available microSD card reader/writer to transfer files.
• Copy the content to the uppermost level of the microSD card.
• Downloadable software and its save data are saved in the Nintendo 3DS folder (photo data is not included).
Please do not
alter, move, or erase files or change the names of the files in the Nintendo 3DS folder.

Copying files
Please make sure to copy the entire Nintendo 3DS folder.
If you copy software to a new microSD card, play it, and save your progress, the same software on the old
microSD card may become unusable. You cannot use multiple copies of the software.
If you copy software to a new microSD card, use the new microSD card and do not use the original data.
Precautions about copying files
You cannot recombine downloadable software whose folders have been saved to multiple SD Cards.
If you copy data to
a new card and then overwrite that data by re-copying it, that data will become unusable.
If you individually copy the files in the Nintendo 3DS
folder, the New Nintendo 2DS XL system will not
recognize them. You must copy the data in the Nintendo
3DS folder without altering the contents.
