| | This is an add-on section for formatting an SD card to FAT32. |
|
| |
|
| Aside from creating and restoring NAND backups, GodMode9 has the functionality to dump installed titles to an installable <code>.cia</code> file, to dump game cartridge data to a <code>.3ds</code> ROM file, and to directly install a game cartridge to the system.
| | This page is for Linux users only. If you are not on Linux, check out the [[Special:MyLanguage/Formatting an SD card/Windows|Windows]] or [[Special:MyLanguage/Formatting an SD card/Mac|Mac]] pages. |

| | # Type <code>sudo fdisk /dev/<device name></code> |
| | # Enter <code>t</code> and then enter <code>0c</code> |
| | # Enter <code>a</code> and then <code>p</code> - observe the output, and make sure the device is now formatted correctly |
| | # If there are no issues, enter <code>w</code> - this will save changes and exit the fdisk prompt |
| | # Type <code>sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/<device name>1 -s 64</code> to reformat the new partition |
| | #* If the SD card is over 32GB in size, change <code>64</code> to <code>128</code> |
