Upgrading memorycard

[Stalfos]

Is there anyway of upgrading to a bigger SD-card without losing your AC:NL-town? I'm running out of blocks.

I also would like to know this.

Copy paste everything on the old SD card to the new one.

I've heard that when you do that that your ACNL save data won't work. So backups are useless really.

No, but you have to ensure that you copy the save data over asap. Basically, what happens is, when you write to the save file, it writes some identifier to both the save data, and to the 3DS internal memory. When the game loads a save file, it checks that they match.

If you backup your save file, and then play, the next time you save there will be a new identifier in the 3DS memory. Now, if you try to use your backup, that will have a different identifier, so the save will not load. Hope this is understandable.

I upgraded by copying the contents of my old SD card to a bigger one and my ACNL gamesave worked fine ^^/
