The day one update enabled SDXC support. So not included in v1.0 console, but available in 2.0. It was a firmware update to enable.
who does the sdxc tech from then that they have to pay a fee to support it, I would think it would be the people producing sdxc cards that would have to pay said feeI believe it's not related to firmware. It's been available since launch, but it requires a download to enable the functionality. The download forces the firmware update.
I think the download is because they have to pay a licensing fee, and presumably if a customer never uses a card with SDXC capability they can avoid the fee.
You should be able to just format your card with FAT 32 and use it without an update.
Actually no. I'm on 2.2.0 and the console ask me to update in order to use my SanDisk 200GB SDXC.The day one update enabled SDXC support. So not included in v1.0 console, but available in 2.0. It was a firmware update to enable.
I can confirm that on 3.0.0 you can use 128GB and larger SDXC cards.
Manufacturers of devices that support SDXC also have to pay the fee in order to use exFAT. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT#Restrictive_licensing_and_software_patentswho does the sdxc tech from then that they have to pay a fee to support it, I would think it would be the people producing sdxc cards that would have to pay said fee
hmm, I would have thought it would just be a general fee for overall support but I guess not.

Technically, they could just support SDXC cards with FAT32, but then they can't advertise it; they can only advertise support for SDHC.

The last one apparently requires a valid device ID in order to download from CDN, which I assume is how NIntendo tracks the required licensing fees.
