Trying to hack my new nintendo 3ds XL and having an issue with the SD card. Everytime I try to copy the files to the SD card in windows, it looks like it does but when I eject it and reinsert it the files are gone. Wondering if this means I need a new SD card.

Your SD might have gone read only. Some deny write attempts with an error and others simply ignore them without reporting errors.
These little things go bad all the time for no reason.

Backup your data, format the SD to FAT32 and run h2testw. Only trust an SD that passes the check.

Should I just use windows to format? Or is there a program that is better?

Backup the data as if you can suggested and test the card with h2testw, if it pass h2testw you can use tool like guiformat or minitool parition wizard to reformat the card and paste the data back. You probably need a new card if the data doesn't stay.

Doing the same thing and I'm having an issue with my microSD as well.
It was fine at first on the 4GB microSD given inside the new 3ds xl, then I moved to 128GB microSD, worked fine, but now I added more stuff to it, most apps from the homebrew have disappeared, so the only ones I can see are the original Nintendo apps, and a couple apps that were installed from universal updater, anyone know what is going on?

That description sound different from the problem above. Anyway:

Did you run the full test (write+verify) on empty SD?
This step is important and must not be skipped.

You might have two ID1 folders.

    the legal drinking age here in the US is 21, as some of you may know, but i think either it should be 18 or the age you're an adult should be 21.

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and i know what you may be thinking, "why become an adult at 21? doesn't that mean that banging an 18 year old would be illegal?"
    first of all, being in a relationship with someone who's 18 is technically ok, as long as it started when they were 18, but the age gap is still weird depending on how old you are. besides, the age of consent differs between different states

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also my reasoning for adult age being 21 is because the reason that's the drinking (and now smoking) age is because it "gives them more time to think rationally and not drive drunk"
    so you should have that extra time to mature and think rationally before going to serve in the military or vote

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    tl;dr the "adult" age and the legal drinking age (and voting age) here in the US should be the same

    It's all good no one pays attention to the law anyway lol
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What about making kids wait till 18 or 21 to drive? And yea is messed up, you can join army and die for your country at age 18, but you can't drink alcohol or smoke a cig til 21, is ridiculous

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    If someone is in the military they should be allowed to smoke and drink at 18.... Would help drive recruitment lol

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We all know they do and will anyways. I think laws prevented them only pushes them to illegally do it. Even tho if was legal, most prob wouldn't even bother. Not a big deal or risque if its legal, no fun.

    That's why some kids don't mind having a rap sheet or two just so they never get drafted

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also, i think the voting age should match the adult and drinking ages too, because by the logic of giving them time to mature and think rationally so they don't drive drunk, then they should also have that time to mature and think rationally so they can think for themselves
