Hi guys, so, I'm transferring NSPs from my PC to my Switch SD Card (128GB Fat32). It was working fine until I transferred Ys VII which is 14GB. An error popped up saying File size is too large for destination filesystem. I still have 73GB of free storage. What should I do? Thanks in advance

Either use exFAT which is not recommended or better install these games over USB.

I have 9 exFat Sd cards filled with XCI's and NSP's. Never had a single issue at all.

Emulation card is fat32 but I literally never had or heard of anyone having issues with exFat with QUALITY cards using XCI's or NSP's.

Just use exFat

He already was given a solution that works with Fat32. There's zero reason for him to switch to Exfat.

Oh I see. Thanks. Any workarounds, then?

How to install games over USB? Is it Goldtree?
Don’t believe what you hear exfat is completely fine

Exfat works fine but it is more corruption prone that all.
I've heard this time and time again from reputable people and sources, so I imagine that it is true; however for my needs with games it works fine. I have a dedicated Fat32 formatted SD card for homebrew purposes, since I've heard it's better for that setup

Yea for regular gaming it is fine, but if you want to do homebrew stuff you want stick to FAT32.

Nsusbloader and tinfoil (og) gets the job done. Even batch installs.
Goldtree crashes for me. Very unreliable in its current form.
