Yes. It the payload is called memloader.


i don't think memloader is that :/ i'm looking into a way to transfert a large amount of files to the Switch SD card ( my old adapters don't handle that correctly it seems they're crashing at some points ) so beside FTP homebrew ( that's dosent seems to like big amount of files too ) , i'm searching for a way to fransfer that directly wile the SD card in the switch is mounted and showing in windows :) ( memloader isn't the thing that can do this it seems :/ )

You can maybe use Memloader and to try to split all the files with with WinRar and then unzip it after you transferred the files. It's super unefficient but I don't see another way. I'm trying tit now myself

Found a solution that worked for me.
Connect your switch to the computer with Memloader, back up all your files, format the memory card like you are formatting a regular USB drive to exFAT, and when the format is done, restore the files back!
Be advised, when you will start your switch regularly after you did this formatting, you will be prompt to do a System Update to use the SDXC feature even when you are on the latest version, do this update but if you installed AutoRCM you will have to install it again after the update.
