i am attempting to run WBFS files from USB on USBloaderGX, ive been using the program for the past year and never faced this issue until now.
As you likely know, homebrew requires your drives be configured to Fat32, and Fat32 can only hold files under 4GB, regardless of the empty space. how do i work around this problem? i have two 16GB USB flash drives, and i need to run Star wars the force unleashed, but its 4.07GB, thats .07GB too large, i wanted to run Brawl, but its several GB too big. Can i convert them to another file type to reduce space? can i try burning them to a disk and running that? ive tried looking around and every thread is either 5 years old or just says "nope, gotta convert to ExFat", but when i try that, homebrew crashes if i try to load the drive! and i dont wish to try NTFS even if it does work, because these are my only drives and i have no money to replace them, and i heard NTFS cuts down on the life expectancy.
Thank you in advance.

If you need a second Opinion for Confirmation - please always use the WiiBackup Manager for the Game Transfers,it splits the File(s) automatically for you.
Also it gives them the correct Folder and ID.

    I know you not a single console fanboy but @kijetesantakalu042 not here to argue w you so figured I would
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Or you could just say yeah I agree and move on from it :teach:
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I don't agree that Switch has a poor library as you said tho. There are tons of good games.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'll never forgive microsoft for making Halo target a T rating instead of M now
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Compared to other consoles it kind of is switch just has like 6 main IPs worth any while and it makes them their money so
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    They still have 1000's of ports in they library, they still count.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Think we can all agree PC will always be worth it to dump more money into
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I want to buy a console because I can't get it on others and get value of it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Game consoles do hold more value tho compared to old pc parts, so not sure what you trying to say.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Didn't say they didn't I said they had a shit library just because it has 12,000 titles doesn't mean the games are any good
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    The main IPs in Nintendo library are the only good titles I always hear about
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Superman and Astrobot the only games I hear about on PS4/5, but that does not mean that is the only good games on PS.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    You could probably name more on Xbox because you play Xbox more
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    40. Bayonetta + Bayonetta 2 lol top reason to buy switch
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea prob, n I own a Switch also, not just pirate the "good" games n play on a emulator. So I played lots of good games on actual Switch over the years, been a good console, esp for such dated hardware.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:

    It's an itchi io situation imo it has a few handful of good games thousands on the site but most are shit
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea I never was a fan of Bayonetta games, but it has a big following of fans for some reason. They may be shit to you, but good to others.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I'd love it if the switch 2 became my main future device but most just have shit titles that don't make it worth it when I could drop money on other titles that get my interest
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Every console has shovel ware which most agree are all poo

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Switch 2 will be your most powerful handheld (most likely) but Nintendo has always been a generation behind Sony/ Xbox, so doubt it will get the newest of games, n if it does, will be a watered down version, like Switch 1 got
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Most powerful hardly series x specs will still crap on it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most powerful handheld I said.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I kinda doubt that also Asus will keep releasing or if Xbox doesn't come out with some handheld by then
