Can someone help.
I am unable to see my xci. Does the format matter exfat vs fat32?
On the sdcard do I just put the xci on the root of the sdcard?
On the HD do I just place the xci on the root of the hd?
What can I use to import the big files to a fat32?

What's the dock for then
also playing games on a 40+ inch tv is a much better experience than on the switches small bulit in screen especially if your playing a multiplayer game

@Picalo put XCI to root of sd card/hdd.
For big files on fat32 use a splitter f.e.

So from where I sit it is an easy to implement format with a variety of potential upsides, some downsides as well but ones many people are seemingly content to live with, and represent a very common and expected use case, and also would not affect the other camps but for the dev time to make it, which is apparently minimal.
While not a reason to demand someone's time to do it the reasons argued against it thus far otherwise seem to be dubious. The potential legality issue (I doubt there is one but hey) potentially being solved by rendering it a plugin.
Even more amusing is many of those railing against the concept also spend their time, or support those that do spend their time, ragging on various firmwares that do implement such things for a variety of if not esoteric then reasons unlikely to persuade others. You know what is an easy way to render them obsolete? Render them obsolete by being better at what they do and providing an exit path for it.

But SX OS has better one, because it's not repacking to nsp before installing.
+1 on someone else who's tried both nsp and xci and is starting to lean towards xci. The install is faster. You can bundle up updates and dlc into one XCI. Uninstall is faster and cleaner.
But oh noes I have to go into the album app to mount a game. What a killer.
I suspect at some point we'll have a dedicated app on the homescreen rather than have to use an existing app. Maybe at some point we'll also have a way to get NSP's to load over USB HDD but right now I can have my XCI's on an SD card and should I choose to load some off a USB HDD I can. Hands down for me the better option. I still have an open mind about using nsp's if I really need to.
It's a shame blahblah is so far along he can't understand that some people just have a different set of use case needs from him. Sat there counting the number of people are using each file format to keep score. Sounds like a great way to spend your time
Yeah, you are weird and have bad taste. USB HDD on a portable console is dumb. Bundling everything into a non-valid (as per Nintendo spec) XCI is also dumb & is a recipe for disaster with system updates.
Hey it's not my fault you can't afford a licenced hack method that gives you XCI format loading. Run along and play with your NSP files.

Cheers. I'll probably give that a miss for now. XCI seems to give me all I need.

Like your last batch were, the last time you tried to back-seat mod? You have nothing to contribute to XCI users, so please stop posting in here.

Tinfoil doesnt repack before installing XCI's either.

I've never used my switch in portable mode, other than for USB shit with my PC. USB HDD works great for me. Even if you arent a perm dock player, its pretty easy to copy NSP / XCI's to the USB HDD on a PC, then plug it in and install from switch. My USB HDD is purely as a source to install from.
USB HDD as an install source is valid, but isn't really a mainstream use case. Having a random hard drive sitting around that you install from, as opposed to the computer that you downloaded the game to in the first place is...odd.
Admittedly, I am not your average switch user, however I avoid USB installs like the plague because USB install is a meme. I also have multiple switches, and lots of friends who have hacked switches who... borrow my HD occasionally for copying spreadsheets...
USB install works fine. Shrug. Yeah, feeding other systems lots of games is a valid use case for USB (as an NSP installation source only, not for 'mounting XCIs', that's dumb)

Subjective reasoning presented as Objective fact. That's a strike. Try again.
Mods can we please clean this thread so there is actual information and not false information about XCI ''installation'' from HDD and biased opinions?

There is nothing to remove, short of some abusive conduct from you and your band of SX-OS shills.

They can't. They are on a much older variant of Atmosphere. They are missing the modern cheat engine, payload self-injecting, and a long, long list of bug fixes.

32GBs is the baseline for 4K video editing these days and lots of recommendations for 64GBs but for games 16,GBs is honestly plenty for a long time. -
