Formatting an SD card: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 14:43, 2 October 2023

The process to format an SD card to FAT32 is different for Windows, Linux and macOS.

ChromeOS is not an option and formatting an SD card with its built-in formatter may result in it becoming unusable by consoles.

Optionally, if you have a 3DS with custom firmware, you can instead use GodMode9.

If you have an unpatched or modchipped Switch, you can instead use TegraExplorer

Note: If you do not wish to create an emuNAND, e.g. for a sysCFW setup or for other consoles, select Only Fat32 instead of Fat32 + EmuMMC
