About SD Card capacity

If you begin to run out of room on an SD Card, first try deleting undesired photos, sound files, or software using the Data
Management feature in System Settings (see page 294). If you still need more room, you can purchase a higher-capacity SD Card
and move all of the files onto the new SD Card.
Use a PC that has an SD Card slot or a commercially available SD Card reader/writer to transfer files.

Nintendo 3DS folder
IMPORTANT: 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 each of the pertinent folders within the Nintendo 3DS folder.
If you copy software to a new SD Card, play it, and save your progress, the same software on the old SD
Card may become unusable. You cannot use multiple copies of the software.
If you copy software to a new SD Card, use the new SD 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 Nintendo 3DS system will not recognize them. You must
copy each folder in the Nintendo 3DS folder without altering
the contents.
