Panasonic SD Formatter (Windows) 4.0

SD Formatter 3.1 for SD/SDHC/SDXC

This software formats all SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards and SDXC memory cards. SD Formatter provides quick and easy access to the full capabilities of your SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards.

The SD Formatter was created specifically for memory cards using the SD/SDHC/SDXC standards. It is strongly recommended to use the SD Formatter instead of formatting utilities provided with operating systems that format various types of storage media. Using generic formatting utilities may result in less than optimal performance for your memory cards.

The SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards have a "Protected Area" on the card for the SD standard's security function. The SD Formatter does not format the "Protected Area". Please use appropriate application software or SD-compatible device that provides SD security function to format the "Protected Area" in the memory card.

Did the trick for my GBA Everdrive where other Formatter tools had failed.

Glad this was still here. Over 10k of my Homebrew related (GBA/DS/Atari/VB/PC/Linux/etc) files are now gone forever as the admins for GBAtemp decided to delete Filetrip.net. This utility from Panasonic was always the recommend tool for setting-up/fixing SD cards. Happy to know it helped and that you were able to find the download.

    I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    Nah I'm getting value creep again. I look at a $50 console "but for just a few more dollars you could get XYZ" and I end up considering the Steam Deck.
