App to format key drive to FAT32?

[auronrenouille]

So I want to format a key drive to FAT32 so that it'll be compatible with my PS3 in order to transfer some game saves, but in disk utility, I can't find that option. Is there an app to do this? Any suggestions? My reading online tells me that the PS3 will only talk to a FAT32-formatted memory device, which is why I'm being so specific.

Thanks!

In Disk Utility, FAT is actually Fat32 if the flash drive is larger than 2GB.

Ohh, that may be my problem - I was using a very old and small key drive, I will dig deeper for a new one . Thank you .

Well if you aren't afraid of Terminal, you can format a smaller flash drive as fat32 with 2 small commands:

1. Use this command to find out the device node of the flash drive.

diskutil list

2. In this command, replace the "X" in /dev/diskX with the right number from the first command.

sudo diskutil eraseDisk FAT32 Flash MBRFormat /dev/diskX
