I have a few games where it looks like they are zoomed in or the GBA Game are being wrapped around. I do have a 128GB micro sd card and this seems to only happen with some games? Like pokemon ruby, emerald, final fantast tatcis etc..

Temp fix I found is this:
1. Start the game
2. Press Home
3. Then hold START and spam X
This will work everytime and it will snap when the picture so that it fits perfectly!

But I found this old post from 2017 that says to backup my sd card to a PC, and re-format the sd card using FAT32 using 64kb cluster size (apprently default is 32kb), and then move everything back to sd card and put back in ur 3ds and ur as good to go?

Is this sd-card reformat tip still valid?

and if i backup then reformat and re-dump, will my modded 3ds still work as good as normal?

Yes reformating the sd card solved the issue for me, with no issues when I used the sd card in the 3DS.

if i dump the entire content of my sd card onto my pc, and then dump it back after formatted, will my 3ds work as usual, no changes or issues?

I had no issues, I formatted a new card and transferred all from the old card on to the new card, it works the same as the old one plus gba games dont screen wrap.

I can confirm that reformatting the card to 64kb cluster fixed the GBA Wrap-Around Issue!

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
