I trim all my roms so the take less space. They all seem to run fine and I have had no problems.
Why do they not recommend it?

Some games may have issues with trimmed roms, just like some isos have issues on psp when converted to CSO (bigger loading times, frame drops, audio lag...). However removing the update partition should cause no trouble AFAIK

This 32gb sdhc card will be used on gateway so i will use exFAT to don't worry, thank you you all guys! o/

There's "some why" they don't recommend we trim games?
because its easier than trying to explain the difference between card1 and card2 games, card1 can be trimmed card2 can't as the save area is stored in the trimmed area.....but afaik there is no 4gb card2 games

I think it started having issues with the 7.X encryption.
People trimmed Pokemon and it wouldn't load.

pokemon is a card2 game....card1- trimable card2- not trimable
basically
pokemon x&y, pokemon ruby & sapphire, animal crossing, tomodachi life, and a whole bunch of eshop/virtual console games are all card 2 and cannot be trimmed

so yeah as i said, its kinda easier to just say don't trim :lol: as some people decided to trim games after playing a while and if you trim a card2 game you pretty much delete your save....so yeah only trim if necessary, but if you use exfat, there is no real need to unless you know what your doing :)

That may very well be the case. I'll see what maxconsole will say before calling anything though.
