Hey. Where do I find this update? I'm going to restore my NAND now and do that update alone.

Ew exfatThe exFat is a separate update, regardless of firmware version. My Switch is still on 5.0.2 and reads exFat just fine.
That seems like a big issue in and of itself though. If someone chooses to play an emulator every day because they're bussing through Chrono Trigger for the nth time, they shouldn't have to worry about corruption. The switch to FAT32 is as simple as formatting after pressing a different button and the downsides are just that you have to split your exceedingly large files - it's no big deal.
Just that people don't recommend it, it is fine to use exFAT, but you are more prone to file corruption.
Again that's only an issue if you use A LOT of hombrew on a daily basis. If you just play Switch games, corruption becomes a non issue completely. I've been using an EXFAT formatted card since i hacked my Switch, i only play switch games on it and i've had zero corruption issues because nothing that i use is constantly writing to the SD card.
Again that depends on what you use on your system. If you use a lot of emulators then yes since they constantly write to the SD card. If you don't and just play switch games then it becomes a non issue. People treat EXFAT like it's the second coming of satan and it's 100% going to corrupt your card when that couldn't be farthest from the truth
You have no idea what you are talking about, exfat is less reliable and robust than either NTFS or HFS+ and slower than a native file system. It lacks of redundant file tables, that FAT32 has and journaling can lead to data loss as well.
Don't use EXFAT.
If Nintendo's driver wasn't busted it would be fine.

I understand what it is that you're saying, but the difference is these problems don't exist on FAT32. It's like saying you can have a fully functional car or a car that may break down if you drive a lot, but if you don't, it's the same as other vehicle.
happened to me 3 times long before i had any homebrewEXFAT is absolutely FINE to use. Corruption only becomes an issue of one uses homebrew on a daily basis, things like emulators which constantly write to the card. Otherwise the chances of corruption are very small
happened to me 3 times long before i had any homebrew
And yet i've been using mine with exfat for well over a year, not a single issue whatsoever. Same goes for all my friends who also have the same setup as me. And the same kind of card for that matter. And anytime i hear people complain about corrupted cards, i find out they are heavy emulator users. And i mean HEAVY
Tittle installers count as homebrew, just so you know
So you're asking me to contact the people i know had issues and have by now replaced their cards with new ones, thus whatever logs they had on their old cards are long gone?can you provide some logs to back this up?
Hey sorry to snatch a thread, such a small question didn't want to make a whole new thread and this is some what related ....
Any reasons at all yet to go from 7.0.1 to 8.0.1 ?
