Hello folks, I'm modding my Switch OLED with PicoFly and Hakate, using a 1TB SD card. I've been researching a lot, but I can't find a comprehensive and detailed guide on the partitions to create for setting up the SD according to my needs, which include HOS, emuMMC, Linux, and Android.
So, to recap:
1. Is `HOS` the SD partition, right?
2. I need to install emuMMC, and I believe it should be the same size as my NAND in the Switch OLED, which is 64GB, not 32GB as seen in many tutorials. Correct?
3. For the Linux partition, since I'll be installing and trying out many programs, can I allocate around 160GB? Many recommend partitions that seem too small for practical use, in my opinion.
4. Regarding the Android partition, can I create it with 128GB? Many allocate 12 or 32GB, but since I'll be using Android as a TV BOX with my Switch, using KODI and experimenting with various programs and emulators, can I allocate around 128GB?
Each partition I create, before installing the respective OS files, means that each OS sees only that partition and not the extra free GB space in the SD, like for example the partitio `HOS` (the SD space left)?
Before I start, do you have any tips I should be aware of? For example, is it better to format the SD in exFAT, or could there be rare incompatibilities with some software, and would it be advisable to format the SD in FAT32?
Then, the partitions created by HAKATE with various OS, do they create primary partitions separated from each other with their respective file systems on the SD (FAT32, exFAT, or ext4, and so on), or are they containers where the OSs believe they are partitioned on a separate "HDD," and each OS doesn't see the partitions of the others?
I hope there's someone out there who can explain the functioning and concept of these partitions coexisting on the same SD card.
