Hey guys I’ve been using retronx with an exfat formatted sdcard. I’ve read a few threads about exfat corruption but it hasn’t happened to me... yet. The threads I read were a few months/weeks old. Is this still an issue? Has it happened to you?
It makes it easier to use the same as card for backups and hombrew. That’s why I use it anyways. I’m not opposed to using Fat32 but I’m not sure how I would fit my XCIs on there without splitting themWhy would people want exFAT?

Was I supposed to know that?So Fat32 is preference ? PS4's jailbreak games running exFAT great.
I actually thought the same. One SD card for switch games, and the other SD card for Homebrew. Switching SD card was just too much hassle for me especially since I also have a protective case I would need to completely remove if I want to take out the SD card. I ended up just sticking with exfat. Just make a backup of your SD just in case.Yeah, that really sucks. I don`t know if there will be a solution soon. But for the moment I`m considering having a SD on exFAT for Switch backups etc, and a SD with FAT32 for emulators etc. But it is a big hassle to keep changing the cards. So far, using exFAT and no corruption until now.
What’s your opinion on just converting to FAT32 for both backups and homebrew and just splitting the XCI files so they fit on the Fat32 system? That way it’s still all on one sd card and you’ve mitigated the likelihood that it gets corrupted.I actually thought the same. One SD card for switch games, and the other SD card for Homebrew.

Well for one, all my games are nsp. I much prefer it as I can just switch games on the fly without having to go to sx os menu every single time. It's also been tested that nsp has a faster loading speed compared to xci. Also, you can't transfer more than 4gb with fat32 which means I would need to split the files, and I can't do that with nsp formatted games. Once sx os supports splitted nsp then I'll probably switch to fat32.What’s your opinion on just converting to FAT32 for both backups and homebrew and just splitting the XCI files so they fit on the Fat32 system?

I never thought about that but you might be right. I have a SanDisk (400gb).I've been using exfat for 2 or 3 months now and I've yet to experience any kind of corruption. I kind of suspect it comes down to what brand SD card is being used. I've seen corruption talked about numerous times on here but I've never seen anyone state what brand SD card they are using.
Mine is also Sandisk I’ve experienced a few crashes in homebrew apps with no corruption so farI never thought about that but you might be right. I have a SanDisk (400gb).
