Formatting SD (Windows)

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 Windows users only. If you are not on Windows, check out the Formatting SD (Linux) or Formatting SD (Mac) pages.

What You Need

  • For SD cards 32GB or smaller: the latest version of SD Formatter
  • For SD cards 64GB or larger: The latest version of guiformat

Instructions (32GB or smaller)

  1. Insert your SD card into your computer

  2. If the SD card has any files and folders on it, copy everything to a folder on your computer

  3. Run SD Card Formatter Setup (the .exe file) in the downloaded .zip file with Administrator privileges, then install the program

  4. Run SD Card Formatter from the Start Menu

  5. Select your SD card's drive letter for "Select card"

    ::: danger

    Make sure you choose the correct drive letter, otherwise you might accidentally erase the wrong drive!

    :::

  6. Enter anything for "Volume label"

  7. Ensure that "Quick Format" is selected

  8. Click "Format"

  9. Click "OK"

  10. Wait for the format to finish

  11. Click "OK"

  12. Close SD Card Formatter

  13. If the SD card had any files and folders on it before the format, copy everything back from your computer

Troubleshooting

  • guiformat shows the error "Failed to open device: GetLastError()=32"

    • Close everything that may be using the SD card, such as any File Explorer windows.
    • If this issue persists, try reformatting the card to NTFS in File Explorer, close that window when it's done, and re-attempt the guiformat process.
  • guiformat shows the error "GetLastError()=1117"

    • Your SD card write-protection switch may be enabled. The lock must be flipped upwards to allow writing to the SD card (including formatting).
  • 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 to reformat your SD card.
