Mention using GodMode9 as an option for SD formatting? #2436

Open mariomadproductions opened 4 months ago

I couldn't get my 128GB sd card to be recognised by my 3DS until I formatted it using GodMode9, even after following all the PC (linux) instructions listed by the guide. So it might be worth mentioning that as something to try. I'm not actually sure what GodMode9 does differently though.

You even went to the SD clean wiki page?

Your formatting issue could be related to #2218, other than that I think an infobox at the top of the SD formatting pages telling people that GodMode9 is an option when you have CFW is a good idea

Hm, I did change the partition type to W95 FAT32 using fdisk, and it still didn't work. So I'm not sure if that's enough. But having an infobox could save people some time, at least.

So that's a no, because you never ran mkfs.fat.
