Questions about my NEW Nintendo 3DS XL

[MaDDuck]

I have a new NEW Nintendo 3DS XL that I bought new a few years ago and love the damn thing!

To get to the Micro SD card, I have to undo 2 screws on the back and plan on doing it based on the answers I get here...

With the image sharing service now off lone, I need to know which folder my pictures are saved in? So I can review and remove them.

 

 

And also I want to throw a few .mp3 files on it to listen to when I get bored. What type must they be and into which folder do I put them in?

 

Any help would be helped tremendously!! oh and I have a 512GB micro SD card so even with all of my games, I still have plenty of space left

 

 

Thank all of the Atari members!

There should be a photo album on the card, although I forget whether it's at the root or not.  I'm honestly unsure at the moment.

If you go into the system settings, it is possible to set the New 3DS to wireless connection mode, and you can browse it as a network drive on some computers. I can't remember how that works, though... I got a copy of Cubic Ninja years ago and I just use that to boot into homebrew and access FTP.

No help on here? Guess I'll just crack the case and dig around on the micro SD card to find what I need...

 

Thanks anyway

I'm fairly sure there is an obvious "Photo" or "Album" or "DCIM" directory in the root of the card.

 

Again, you might be able to wirelessly access the card without removing the back of the unit.  Go into Settings and there should be a Wireless option -- for some versions of Windows it will automatically detect it as a network drive.

tomorrow I'll boot into Windows 11 and try to have it see the 3DS.If it doesn't work, I'll try to figure out where the pictures and screenshots are and where .MP3 files go.

Photos on my 3DS XL are located in the /DCIM directory, such as this one of my cookie jar:

 

 

3D version:

HNI_0009.MPO

 

Are you aware of @llabnip's port of Stella, which lets you play Atari 2600 games on your 3DS?

 

He also ported emulators for other systems, such as ColecoVision and Atari 7800.

I finally got around to open my NEW 3ds xl and got the memory card out!!

Finding the pictures was easy, everything was in the DCIM folder.

 

So anybody on here know which order to drop some MP3's into??

I believe you just create a folder named 'Music', drop your files into it, and then listen to them by opening up the Nintendo 3DS Sound program from the home menu.

I'll have my N3DSXL open to take the card out again by next week. I'll try to make a "music" folder and fill it up and see if it works!!

Again, it's worth noting that you SHOULD be able to access all the files on your internal card using... samba file sharing, I believe.
