I do wonder if atmosphere will end up changing behaviour of the OS so it works better for homebrew.
Fixing exfat would mean reimplementing the FS sysmodule. It's been talked about, but nobody's in a hurry, as it's by FAR the biggest sysmodule. No urgent need either when you can just use fat32.

I use exFAT but I don't run any homebrew that writes to SD
It also happens for file reads:
CTCaer said:
The bug is in Nintendo's exfat driver. It constantly changes folders/files even on reads. And because it never syncs properly, on a hang/force quit/force reboot/power off, the handles are lost and the files/folders become missing from the file allocation table. Because exFAT does not have a 2nd FAT like fat32, these file/folders cannot be recovered.

The trusted developers seem to be a bit salty that nintendo would design the OS in a way that makes it hard to support homebrew that writes to the sd card
No they are salty that Nintendo is so incompetent and doesn't care about data loss. Remember it's the same company that bricked ton of Wiis because they never tested their boot2 update code.

Yet it is only a problem for homebrew, so why would they expect Nintendo to care?

It makes me wonder how official software manages to avoid corrupting the sd card & why homebrew can't do the same thing.

I've not seen any explanation, people just seem to have a meltdown about nintendo when asked instead

That's why it also affects normal shutdown. Cache and handles are per app/applet.

Official software barely reads from the SD/writes to the SD. Games are almost always qutting safely and game crashes are handled by the OS.

How do we find that out? That seems massive news.
I’m pretty sure Libnx (or maybe it was something else, idk) implemented something sometime last year that allowed for homebrew apps to safely be closed with the home button, I have no idea whether this is optional or forced, and I have no idea how to tell if a homebrew app has this feature (I think retroarch does though).

And crashes have always been handled by the OS

    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, take into consideration how economy was back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why they listed inflation rates
