7.2.2 Writing From a microSD Card

You can save the NSP file to a microSD card and then insert that card in the development hardware to write the application.

  1. Save the NSP file to a microSD card.

    Note

    If the NSP file is larger than 4 GB, you cannot save the file if you do not use a microSD card that is at least 64 GB.
    If you are using a microSD card of 32 GB or less, save the file using the following procedure.

  2. Insert the microSD card into the ADEV.
  3. Insert an NX development card in the game card slot on the top of the ADEV console.
    Insert the NX development card with the label side facing the screen and press it in until you hear a click.
  4. In DevMenu, open Application and select Write to Game Card.
  5. In Application, click Select NSP File and then select any NSP file on the microSD card.
  6. Click Write File(s) to Game Card to begin writing the file to the NX development card.


Note

Removing the NX development card during the write process might lead to device or data corruption.

For more information, see NintendoSDK Documents > Features > Controlling the Development Hardware > DevMenu.

Saving an NSP File Larger Than 4 GB to a microSD Card of 32 GB or Less

Perform the following procedure.

  1. Copy the \Tools\DivideNsp\DivideNsp.ps1 and \Tools\DivideNsp\DivideNsp.bat files from the directory where NintendoSDK is installed to the directory in the microSD card where you want to place the NSP file.
  2. Drag the NSP file you want to save to the DivideNsp.bat file that was copied to the microSD card.
  3. The process ends after a directory is created with the same name as the NSP file that you want to save.
Info
  • When you drag the NSP file you want to save in step 2 and a file with the same name already exists in the directory, the following error message is displayed: "***.nsp" cannot be created because a file or directory with the same name already exists.
    If this happens, either delete the applicable files in advance or change the directory where the files are located and repeat the procedure.
  • You can achieve the same result by using this procedure to save the NSP file and directory of the same name to some place other than an SD card, and then copying them to any directory on the microSD card.
