    bruh it says preparing to copy the files, and I waited and it didn't put any of my programs or anything from one Sd card to another, like, why is like that, is it because I have so much folders or smh else? like do I need to set all in one folder and then all of that in sd card? and yes my Sd card is working properly and it's fat 32

    I have an unrelated questions. So I've upgraded SD card, I copied all the files from old SD card to new card.
    The question is, can I use the old card on the same 3DS to play/downloaded completely different games? For example, my old SD card will be used for Nintendo games, and the new one is for third-party games. Is it doable? Or would there be a problem for the console?
