Just got my 200gb SD card ready for tx os would it be better to format it to exfat or fat32 I'm on fw3.0.0 if that makes a difference
Exfat would be better for the future once backups are able to be downloaded and transfer to the SD card, a lot of games are longer than 4GB, and FAT32 has the 4GB size limit.
You've been able to do that for a while now. You can even dump your own games if you want.
So fat32 then I have a couple of filesYou've been able to do that for a while now. You can even dump your own games if you want.
Well you can't really run it without the CFW that SciresM is working on.
So fat32 then I have a couple of files
So exfat would be best regardless if the files are split or not
The SD card speed is a bit better with exFAT on 128KB cluster size, so games will load faster.So fat32 then I have a couple of files
So exfat would be best regardless if the files are split or not
If you want to be totally risk free you can follow the CFW section of my guide.there is tutorials around showing to add exfat support to the system but it involves messing around with the System nand.

I think I'll just keep it native fat32 as it seems to be the easiest thing I don't mind having split filesFYI you can also trim your XCI's and split them into 4 GB files: https://gbatemp.net/threads/xci-cutter-tool-windows.504818/ Xecuter SX OS will support them.
Will that just be automatically done when I insert the card into the switchI think I'll just keep it native fat32 as it seems to be the easiest thing I don't mind having split files
Well, i know tx will support exfat but what fw supports exfat? I dont really feel like messing around with the sysnand
So what's the issue with just going with Exfat then? Seems way better than Fat32.it's not what firmware, it's separate from the firmware.
Before, we didn't have a way of obtaining the exFAT update without subsequently updating our System Firmware. Then we had a way to do it but it involved a type of modification that Nintendo would flag because we grabbed the update without telling them. NOW, we have a way of grabbing the exFAT update without worrying to be banned so I would recommend following riyyi's CFW section of his linked Tutorial to grab the update as safely as possible.So what's the issue with just going with Exfat then? Seems way better than Fat32.
Sorry the posts above didn't clarify this at all.
Yes so long as your Switch has the exFAT update currently installedBTW guys if my current sd card is FAT32 and I want to switch it to exFAT ( without losing my eShop games and re-download them )
is it as easy as coping all the contents/folders in my sd card to my desktop and formatting my sd card to exFAT and restore it
Yes so long as your Switch has the exFAT update currently installed
If you have dumped your NAND and have access to a game that has the same system firmware as your dump, you can install the exFAT via this tutorial. Otherwise, if you are already on the latest firmware which is 5.1, you can just insert an exFAT formatted SD card which will prompt you to install the update.which is 5.XX right ?
