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.

    ik how to REPLACE ram.. but where would i get larger shitz
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    @BeastOfA3DS you cannot simply replace 3DS RAM, you'll need a very expensive rework station
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    You could technically solder each joint with a wire but who has time for that
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    inb4 1 short destroys the entire board kekw
  • BeastOfA3DS @ BeastOfA3DS:
    @DinohScene, this is the point
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Og Xbox had extra blank pads making the upgrade easier
  • BeastOfA3DS @ BeastOfA3DS:
    so ram, and sd is fine
  • BeastOfA3DS @ BeastOfA3DS:
    how the fuck
  • BeastOfA3DS @ BeastOfA3DS:
    do i find gpu for the shit
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    It's just not really favorable if you want faster ram use citra
  • BeastOfA3DS @ BeastOfA3DS:
    i want it to be on a 3ds
  • BeastOfA3DS @ BeastOfA3DS:
    not pc
  • BeastOfA3DS @ BeastOfA3DS:
    i can easily buy a £10k PC and install citra and call it done
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    you can't take any GPU and dump it in a 3DS, it doesn't work like that
  • BeastOfA3DS @ BeastOfA3DS:
    i know, thats the issue @DinohScene
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    It's not possible you'd have to get someone knowledgeable enough to rewrite the bios
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    you're just trolling, piss off
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Plus not much would come out of it with little improvement ram doesn't really increase your fps
