### Lesen erforderlich
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Diese Seite ist nur für Linux-Nutzer gedacht. If you are not on Linux, check out the [Formatting SD (Windows)](formatting-sd-(windows)) or [Formatting SD (Mac)](formatting-sd-(mac)) pages.

|
|
### Anleitung
|
|
|
|
1. Make sure your SD card is **not** inserted
|
|
1. Launch the Linux Terminal
|
|
1. Type `watch "lsblk"`
|
|
1. Stecke deine SD-Karte in deinen Computer
|
|
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 name. In our example above, it was `mmcblk0p1`
|
|
+ If `RO` is set to 1, make sure the lock switch is not slid down
|
|
1. Hit CTRL + C to exit the menu
|
|
1. Type in the following for your SD card:
|
|
+ 2GB or lower: `sudo mkfs.fat /dev/(device name from above) -s 64 -F 16`
|
|
+ This creates a single FAT16 partition with 32 KB cluster size on the SD card
|
|
+ 4GB - 128GB: `sudo mkfs.fat /dev/(device name from above) -s 64 -F 32`
|
|
+ This creates a single FAT32 partition with 32 KB cluster size on the SD card
|
|
+ 128GB or higher: `sudo mkfs.fat /dev/(device name from above) -s 128 -F 32`
|
|
+ This creates a single FAT32 partition with 64 KB cluster size on the SD card
|
|
|
|
### Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
* SD card remains undetected by console or continues to display the wrong capacity after formatting
|
|
+ Your SD card may be partitioned or have unallocated space. Follow the instructions [here](https://wiki.hacks.guide/wiki/SD_Clean/Linux) to reformat your SD card.
