# sd2vita adapter setup

### Formatting the microSD card

1. Insert the SD2Vita adapter into the GameCard slot
2. Open VitaDeploy and go to "Miscellaneous"->"Format a storage device"
3. Press "Format target storage" and wait until it finishes
4. Reboot the console

{% hint style="info" %}
If format fails, make sure that the adapter pins are not damaged, enable YAMT in Settings->"Devices"->"Storage Devices", reboot the console and try again. If format still fails, disable YAMT in Settings->"Devices"->"Storage Devices" and follow the [*storagemgr guide*](https://vita.hacks.guide/storagemgr) instead.
{% endhint %}

### Copying files

1. Open the Settings app, navigate to "Devices"->"Storage Devices" and enable YAMT
2. Reboot the console and open VitaDeploy's file manager, make sure that the "uma0:" partition is visible
3. Go to the "ux0:" partition and select all the folders besides "SceIoTrash" (press SQUARE to select)
4. Press TRIANGLE and select "Copy"
5. Go to the "uma0:" partition, press TRIANGLE and then select "Paste"

### Setting the microSD card as the main storage

1. Go to the Settings app and then navigate to "Devices"->"Storage Devices"
2. Set "ux0:" to *SD2Vita* and "uma0:" to *Memory Card*
3. Reboot the console, in System Settings it should now show the microSD size as the memory card size.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guide.psp2.dev/start/sd2vita.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
