Hello,
Sorry if this question sounds dumb but I actually did my research and all I could find was
https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-install-the-exfat-driver-without-updating-2-x.505176/
and
https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-...tch-console-on-any-ofw-without-update.505182/
or threads that asked a question about exFAT update and were answered by a link to one of these, such as
https://gbatemp.net/threads/best-way-to-get-exfat-working-on-switch.508487/
However none of these threads answer my question:
So, my Switch is currently on 4.0.1 and I need exFAT support.
Obviously the right solution is not to connect to the internet and update to 5.1.0 (though I agree, that brings exFAT support). A solution given by the above links is to hack a lot of stuff to get the exFAT update from a cart dump and put it on the Switch. And a potential third solution I thought about but saw mentioned nowhere (explicitly) is: if that Switch were updated to 4.1.0 using a cart (Kirby Star Allies, from what I gathered), would it get exFAT support?
I guess the answer would be yes. But I legitimately have no clue, especially since then I don't understand why guides would tell people to use the hacky way using Bayonetta 2 on 4.0.1 when they could just use Kirby Star Allies to update. And I don't really want to risk updating to 4.1.0 for no reason even if 4.0.1 and 4.1.0 are supposedly in the same boat when it comes to hacks...
(Not posted in a hacking part of the forum because technically, the question is not about hacks at all, on the contrary it tries to avoid them.)
