### Required Reading
|
||||
|
||||
This is an add-on section for formatting an SD card to work with the 3DS.
|
||||
|
||||
If the 3DS already recognizes the SD card, this guide is not required.
|
||||
|
||||
This page is for Linux users only. If you are not on Linux, check out the [Formatting SD (Windows)](formatting-sd-(Windows)) or [Formatting SD (Mac)](formatting-sd-(mac)) pages.
|
||||
|
||||
### Instructions
|
||||
#### Section I - Determining which slot your SD card is in
|
||||
|
||||
1. Make sure your SD card is **not** inserted
|
||||
1. Launch the Linux Terminal
|
||||
1. Type `watch "lsblk"`
|
||||
1. Insert your SD card into your PC
|
||||
1. Observe the output. It should match something like this:
|
||||
```
|
||||
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
|
||||
mmcblk0 179:0 0 3,8G 0 disk
|
||||
└─mmcblk0p1 179:1 0 3,7G 0 part /run/media/user/FFFF-FFFF
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. Take note of the device mount point. In our example above, it was `mmcblk0`
|
||||
+ If `RO` is set to 1, make sure the lock switch is not slid down
|
||||
1. Hit CTRL + C to exit the menu
|
||||
|
||||
#### Section II - Formatting the card
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
1. Type in `sudo cfdisk /dev/(device mount point from above)`
|
||||
1. On each partition, hit `Delete`
|
||||
1. Create a new Primary partition that covers the size of your entire SD card
|
||||
+ This will create a new partition with the linux filetype
|
||||
1. Select type and take a look at the menu
|
||||
1. Find "W95 FAT32" and take note of the code on the left side of that text
|
||||
1. Press any key, then enter the code you took note of in the previous step
|
||||
1. Hit enter, then hit Quit
|
||||
