Hacking correct cluster size for a 256 mb TF card

[teH XeRO]

just got the 256mb tf card i was going to use for gba games on my ez4 lite, and was wondering b4 i format it, what the correct cluster size for a 256mb card is?

are you formatting fat32 or fat16? i was under the impression that clustersize was always 4k for fat32. I could be wrong though

if you are using fat16, the smallest cluster size you can use is 4KB (256MB / 2^16 clusters = 4096 bytes).
since you are most likely going to be putting large files on there, I believe a larger cluster size would give slightly less wasted space.

is fat16 just like saying "FAT"...otherwise i was looking for the max amount of clusters a 256mb card can me formatted in FAT
