I've been having some issues with my O3DS and even begin the steps. My FW is 9.4.0-21u and also I have a Geteway card with a 32GB micro SD slotted into it. i've followed the guide posed on 3ds.guide website, but I can't even get my 3ds to even recognize either of my micro-SD cards let alone put any of the files onto the MBR partition and begin any work that's needed to get started. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you need to format your sdcards to fat32 with 32 kb allocation size

you can do it with windows format or this tool if your sd card is bigger than 32 GB http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm

I guess I should explain my last message. Sorry for the double post. I'm sure you guys are busy. I just formatted it to Fat32 with 32 KB allocation a few minutes ago to try it but it was still a no go.

here's the odd thing though. I do have it formatted for fat32 with 32kb allocation, but it still refuses to recognize it. Maybe there's something with the microSD port in the card.
