Gateway 3DS microSD Tool is a program written to fix GW3DS fragmentation errors, which can occur when:
* The rom file has more than 32 fragments.
* The rom file occupies either of the last two clusters on an exFAT partition.
* The root directory entry is fragmented, that lead to missing game icons.


Run "gw3ds.exe scan x:" (where "x:" is the driveletter of your GW3DS microSD card) from a command prompt window to scan for problems. Run "gw3ds.exe fix x:" to fix fragmentation errors and missing game icons.
It defragments only if it is necessary. For instance, if a rom file consists of 35 fragments, this will reduce the number of fragments to 32 by combining the 4 smallest fragments into a single fragment. It is faster and introduces less wear than reformatting and copying everything back.


* You receive a fragmentation error when the rom file has more than 32 fragments.
==User guide==
* You receive a fragmentation error when the rom file occupies either of the last two clusters on an exFAT partition.
Available commands:
* You don't see all game icons if the root directory entry is fragmented.
* <code>gw3ds.exe scan x:</code> - Scan for problems (<code>x:</code> is the driveletter of your GW3DS microSD card).  
* <code>gw3ds.exe fix x:</code> - Fix fragmentation errors and missing game icons.


'''EDIT:''' Avast seems to think that my program is infected with malware. I can assure you that it contains no malware. I wrote and compiled the program myself. I reported the false positive to Avast so hopefully they will fix it in their next virus database update.
