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.
Choose your operating system
Windows
Linux
MacOptionally, 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
