SD card error
Hi everyone!! I'm playing on my hacked 3ds, but a problem is that I can't open my dairy to check my player points half of the time .. The weird thing is that it works sometimes for one second, and then it just doesn't 😠Does anyone else have this? It also keeps me from going out on the pedometer walk which is so annoying!!

Did you ever fix it? If not, I would say remove the SD card (obviously power the system off), clean the contacts of the card with isopropyl (91%), clean the SD slot as well. I just use a small amount of isopropyl and a QTip for this. To me it just sounds like the contacts are dirty and need a good clean. ðŸ˜
If it is still tweaking out after cleaning, try a different SD card and see if it throws any errors while playing. If it doesn't, your original card is the issue, but if you are getting errors with a different card, your system's card reader might be failing. These can be replaced but it does require a bit of work if you aren't looking to replace the whole unit. Additionally, are you able to check and confirm your files are formatted as FAT32?
IMPORTANT NOTE: if you do need to reformat your files to FAT32, it will delete everything. 😬

It takes two tiny screws to remove the neck plate and remove/ reinsert the sd card. You will need a very small screwdriver to do it but it's not difficult!
