This guide helps to verify the filesystem on an SD card.

To check if an SD card is fake or failing, follow the steps on 3DS Hacks Guide:

Windows

  1. Open File Explorer → This PC
  2. Right-click the SD card and click Properties
     
  3. Go to the Tools tab, then click Check under Error Checking
     
  4. A prompt titled "You don't need to scan this drive" might appear, click "Scan and repair drive" if it does
     
  5. If there are any errors, Windows will try to repair them. It will display if errors were fixed or were not.
    • If it failed to repair errors, the SD card might need to be re-formatted, which can be done following this on 3DS Hacks Guide: Formatting SD (Windows)
