What do you mean? I know lakka/retroarch and stuff apparently don't work in Exfat. Looking for N64 emulators in particular.all the emulaters are working just fine,
lakka is an independent linux system with retroarch. it is parallel to sx os. retroarch as an nsp/nro works under sx os and exfat just fine. only that exfat tends to get corrupted so it's strongly discouraged.What do you mean?

So the emulators will work and show up if I just put them in an EXfat card on SXOS? how much of a big deal is the possible corruption?lakka is an independent linux system with retroarch. it is parallel to sx os. retroarch as an nsp/nro works under sx os and exfat just fine. only that exfat tends to get corrupted so it's strongly discouraged.
yes under sxos exfat and fat32 work identically for emulation. I used exfat for 6 months or so and experienced about ten corruption situations. A game suddenly won't load and when I inspect it the file has zero bytes. I held out on exfat because some games are 4+ gb and I didn't want to bother with cutting them. But then sxos supported installing nsp and xci from usb. I finally converted to fat32. For games which are 4+ gb, I now simply load it up in my exfat usb-c drive and install the game. There's no reason for exfat SD now.So the emulators will work and show up if I just put them in an EXfat card on SXOS? how much of a big deal is the possible corruption?
And technically you don't even need exfat to do that eitherThe only times to use an exFAT SD card is when you boot your Switch for the first time to make a complete NAND backup
Don’t claim something without explaining why. It’s pointless and doesn’t help anyone.And technically you don't even need exfat to do that either
You can make nand backups with fat32, it splits the backup in 2gb parts which can be combined with the joiner scripts on the official hekate releases page https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate/releasesDon’t claim something without explaining why. It’s pointless and doesn’t help anyone.
Why make life harder? Who doesn't have a second microSD card lying around? Even just a 32GB will do. Format it to exfat and use exclusively for NAND backup and restore needs.You can make nand backups with fat32, it splits the backup in 2gb parts which can be combined with the joiner scripts on the official hekate releases page https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate/releases
I'm just saying that it's possible to make nand backups on fat32, not that people should do itWhy make life harder? Who doesn't have a second microSD card lying around? Even just a 32GB will do. Format it to exfat and use exclusively for NAND backup and restore needs.
You can’t restore a NAND backup if it’s split which means you are forced to use exFAT if you ever want to make use of your NAND backup. It makes more sense to backup your NAND whole on an exFAT SD card instead of backup it on a FAT32 SD card, copy the files to a PC, join them, format your SD to exFAT, copy the joined NAND backup to the exFAT SD card and restore your NAND from there, wouldn’t you think?You can make nand backups with fat32, it splits the backup in 2gb parts which can be combined with the joiner scripts on the official hekate releases page https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate/releases
