Warnings
- Don't delete anything from the 3DS SD card, besides music or photos. Should this happen, you may unintentionally mess it up to the point of it being unplayable.⧼thumbs_response⧽
- 3DS systems only have 2GB of space maximum, and there will be less storage to use if there is a lot taken up. An XL system has 4GB. To get many, many songs, you will need to delete photos or buy an SD card compatible with the system.⧼thumbs_response⧽
