Just passing on the information that the developers of HBG/Tinfoil said
It probably just means they're willing to troubleshoot for exfat consoles (or that when you bring up an issue they'll say they can't help it because of exfat). This doesn't make exfat any safer as the exfat driver hasn't changed and isn't meant to handle the stuff a hacked switch can throw at it

They physically mentioned that it is safe to use, staff confirmed it too. It's the dev of Tinfoil

Yeah, and I'm saying that regardless, exfat isn't 100% safe to use. Even if applications/developers of applications support it.
Said applications would have to not read/write from the card at all to conceivably be able to say that.
Their program hasn't changed how the driver works so the risk is still there.
The risk is low, but you might as well use fat32 as it's safer and is less prone to corruption.
Exfat is still a viable option, but the corruption issues aren't going anywhere for a while if ever

Understood.

The announcement that they made was complete bullshit. Nothing in ams or fw was changed.

Then why make it. I fail to understand how that's a joke if it was intended. I assumed the latest Atmosphere build and or 9.1.0+ had better optimisation. I'm still on FAT32, but assumed exFAT was safe from what I've read there.

I have no idea, I was just as confused when i saw it.

Unless maybe they were just talking about Tinfoil? But then, why would they even mention fw / ams version at all...so yeah, no idea sadly.

    @BigOnYa I had 4.89 hfw on super slim that was great, but when I got a new hard disk I forgot where the guide was and could only find a guide for 4.90 and its resources
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I think another reason to want to update is if the hfw is at the level of the fw
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    you can sync trophies
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea that's what I'm sitting on now- 4.9, and it seems fine, have had no issues at all
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    I don't know if people play online or such
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My ps3 short circuited during a deep clean still salty about it after downloading 2tbs worth but SteamDeck okay with emulation still just can't run mgs4 worth shit
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea forgot bout trophies. They just silly to me. Just like the xbox achievements. Hey, to each they own tho.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It keeps players in touch with the game like a check list of things to do after they beat it
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa they ruined the gaming experience for me to be honest
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa Im not crazy about getting all of them, i feel like I have something to show for for the time put in
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa If you want to do rgh or 360 mod
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    does it matter if you update your 360 or not before trying is it advisable or not
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea I don't pay attention to them really. Or do I try to 100% a game. I just play till story ends/ or I get the girl!

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.
