I've opted to have two consoles with one on fw 2.0 (for Atmosphere) and the 2nd one on fw 3.02 (for the TX dongle) and get best of both worlds.
kinda makes you wonder if Nintendo is behind all of thisGreedy bastid in me says "I'm gonna buy more switches bitches".
One for live . One for TX. One for atmosphere/linux.
well you kinda missed the point of my post. Until we get an XCI splitter (not trimmer) and SX OS supports split XCI files you won't be playing any of the larger games on it unless you update to current firmware.I've opted to have two consoles with one on fw 2.0 (for Atmosphere) and the 2nd one on fw 3.02 (for the TX dongle) and get best of both worlds.
I have a 64gb in my switch on 4.1.0. I'm good to go no wukin furries.kinda makes you wonder if Nintendo is behind all of this
I don't think you understand the issue at hand. Your 64gb sd is formatted to FAT32 (unless you had updated for exFAT support before 5.0 came out)I have a 64gb in my switch on 4.1.0. I'm good to go no wukin furries.
Yes that's an option. But you may not have an easy method for installing Atmosphere when it comes out due to being on current firmware.You forgot the "I'm already on 5.X so i don't have to care about updating or not"
I don't think you understand the issue at hand. Your 64gb sd is formatted to FAT32 (unless you had updated for exFAT support before 5.0 came out)
in which case you'll only be able to play backups under 4GB in size since that's the limit on FAT32.
I know. But still should be an option. "I'm already on 5.X so i haven't got much of a choice."Yes that's an option. But you may not have an easy method for installing Atmosphere when it comes out due to being on current firmware.
@comput3rus3r has news for you , its bad im afraid.I have no internet connection on my Switch, nor did I ever have (I never even set up Wifi for the reason it might nag me with updates or silently update itself). The only time I updated was when Breath of the wild demanded it, and I did so from the cart (from 3.0.2 to 4.1.0, figured I'm already past 3.0.0 so why bother). What would happen if I plugged in an exFAT formatted microSD?
What do you mean by that? I'm under the impression 4.1.0 is a relatively good FW for atmosphere, at least much better than 5.x. I asked what would happen if the switch sensed an exFAT microSD while not being able to update itself, due to not having internet connection to download an update from.@comput3rus3r has news for you , its bad im afraid.
You won't be able to use exFAT without updating. Maybe in the future after Atmosphere comes out it may become possible to change this.I have no internet connection on my Switch, nor did I ever have (I never even set up Wifi for the reason it might nag me with updates or silently update itself).

Oh right atmosphere is fine no worries just don't hope for large XCI file support on Fat32 partitions that don't support larger than 4GB chunks . But sure you have no need for piracy with atmosphere god bless your good honest soul sir . I bid you good evening , now gimme all yer fucking money im a dirty pirate.What do you mean by that?

I specifically stated (unless you had updated for exFAT support before 5.0 came out) There's no misunderstanding.I understand perfectly well , lol your perception of my understanding is extremely flawed. I have the ExFat card running in my switch on 4.1.0 .lol jesus. Just popped in a 128GB for shits and giggles , guess what ? Confetti !.

Let's be honest, early adopters of SX products is because they want access to backup loading ASAP. But there's a caveat. You will have to update your switch to the latest firware version and thus cutting yourself off from the earlier versions of Atmosphere.
Here's why:
SX OS backup loader uses game dumps in the XCI format which is a 1:1 copy of the game cartridge. Small games won't be a problem but let's say you have a switch on fw 4.1.0 and you want to load a backup of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe which has an XCI file of almost 8GB. You will need an SDXC card formatted to exFAT since you can't copy a file over 4GB to a FAT32 formatted sd card. The moment you put that 64GB sd card on your switch it will prompt you to update. So even though you get backup loading sooner with SX OS, you will have to wait longer to get more support from Atmosphere once it comes out since you will be on the latest firmware.
UPDATE: This release might be a workaround if it does indeed work.

UPDATE 2 Actually this tool won't cut it. No pun intended. A trimmed rom won't be enough to bring an 8GB file to less than 4GB.
love your wee pirate parrot hes so kewl.....and that means......wait for it.... legendary evil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Backups for everyone for 2/3 price of a game, I think its a fair price
I'll post a review once i get mine.Being first does come with a lot of perks. CFW might be weeks away and 40 USD is not a ton of cash. I'm waiting for a review before I pull the trigger.
I believe it is a good investment regardless of how you choose to use it.(this is not a review)I'm buying it cause of multiple reasons, I'm glad I went physical this time but also it comes with the USB C adaptor, which will be useful for future Nintendo Switch exploits and also the RCM jig, I'm too lazy to make my own, plus I don't wanna damage the pins.

how does it feel having to buy the same game 3 times?Way ahead of ya, my brotha. Lol grey joycon switch in my bedroom, red and blue in my sons room, and mario odyssey edition in the den
