Only a couple games loading, selecting one freezes my screen

My 3ds is not loading all of my games completely. Usually about 5 of them load then all of the rest pop up on my screen. But every time I turn on my 3ds, 5 of them load and no other games load. I can’t even turn it off at this point, I have to hold the power button. Trying to select a game or even look at my friends list freezes the screen. You can still hear the home menu music but the screen is completely frozen. When I write lock my sd card and have the base 3ds apps it works completely fine. As soon as I turn write lock off and put it in the 3ds it happens again. I let it sit out for an hour on this screen because I thought it was just taking a while to load, but nothing happened. The same 5 games were there and clicking on one froze my screen. Can anyone give me some advice??

Hello,

Looking at what you said, it seems like the issue is entierely due to the sd card, so you might wanna try to clone your sd card to another one, if it does’nt works, can you provide us more details (3ds model, sd card capacity etc…)

Hope that helped !

Hi, I copied the contents of my SD card and transferred it to another card. The same thing keeps happening. My 3ds is homebrewed. I can still launch godmode9 and luma with no problem while it’s booting up but when it hits the Home Screen it does the same thing. I also noticed I can’t hover over notifications, friends, or notes, or it freezes my screen. I bought this system on eBay a really long time ago and it does this once in a while. It fixes itself within a couple of hours but this has been for the whole week. It actually worked one time, I could move around and select things without crashes, but as soon as I selected a game, the whole 3ds went dark. I honestly have 0 clue what to do and am considering ordering another 3ds from eBay.

@aleenahearts I have a game that say that there's is an error with the sd card, furtunately, I made a copy of the original card, so I can swap cards to play the game, so you can format your copied card and try to swap the card when you wanna homebrew or play your games (not guarenteed to works)
