Hacking Question eXFAT Format Update?

[MikeyTaylorGaming]

Is there a simple method to update the switch to read the eXFAT format now?

I haven't ever used an SD Card in the Switch and I'm about ready to hack it today. I'm on 3.0.1, never had the prompt to install the eXFAT driver and I won't be wanting the 4GB file limit...

I've heard you can install larger files by splitting them to <4GB, but that seems like a pain, I'd rather just get the eXFAT functionality! I'll try out the RCM and CFW's in FAT32, but will want to use eXFAT for definite.

Any info appreciated!

1st : Format to PC (Fat32)
2nd : Copy ChoidujourNX dan OFW 6.1.0 to MicroSD
and then update firmware from ChoidujourNX..so you can format to exfat from PC (Windows 10)

Done

To elaborate on what the others have said, when you install a firmware update on your switch via choidujourNX you have the option to install the exfat update with it. I've used this method to go from 4.1.0 non exfat to 4.1.0 exfat

Alrighty Guys, thanks for the info! I'm assuming that ChoidujourNX is an application that loads through the Homebrew Loader?

Seems simple enough. Appreciate it.

I'm not rushing into it by the way, I'm spending the day looking up info so I know what I'm doing before jumping straight in hahaha

That would be a correct assumption.

It's pretty straightforward to use too, just select the firmware files you put into the firmware folder, they'll unpack, and then you'd select the exfat update, wait for it to finish and reboot and you're done.

Yeah I got the app running, I'm at a loss as how to actually get a hold of the update files to install them though... I'm not sure if it's legal or whatever to link to them here on GBATemp either hahaha Any info on that front?

Yeah... Firmware files contain copyrighted content. So it ain't allowed to be shared here. Surprised to see you here. Used to watch your videos back in the day

And ahaha no way! Small world. It's surprising how many people on GBATemp have seen the content!

Just be sure to use AutoRCM if you want to not burn fuses.
