Doesn't work for me. Can't remember the error message, but I had to reinstall the games.
Odd, I made it on Mac. What macOS you running? Can you check how many bytes the file is? (Not MB, but actual bytes).btw @AnalogMan splitnsp.py on mac made 00 too large (fire emblem warriors converted to nsp about 290MB too much so it won't fit on the fat32 card) (says file is too large for format)
File systems should not impact transfer speeds, at least not significantly.
SD Card not recognized issues also should not be caused by the file system (i.e. fat32 in general shouldnt be the issue here).
But hey - one person says something - another one picks it up - and voila, you have a trend going...
Concerning copying speeds, I'm actually curious what could cause that. Only association that comes to mind is, that MS borked the file transfer engine in Win7, but should have fixed it by now... There are other file copy "engines" (programs) for Windows available, If anyone wants to try them out. Some of them come with options to skip verification steps, and all sorts of granular stuff.
See f.e.

waiting on my jig and installer, but getting files ready. When using the cmd line, kept getting error. However if I drag and drop an nsp onto the splitnsp.py, it automatically opens up python and splits (doing Valkyria chronicles 4 into 3 parts). Any reason this version of the files would be different than opening the cmd file? can i delete the original 12gb nsp?
many thanks
You shouldn't do that. You should rather delete the split folder once you install it. The Original you keep it for future use.
sorry I meant delete the original unsplit NSP from my laptop, as I don't need 2 versions of the nsp. If the split one will work, I'll delete the downloaded unsplit nsp. I'm unable to put any nsp onto my switch until my jig arrives in the post.
"Slow fat32" is a cluster size issue most likely. See: https://gbatemp.net/threads/sx-os-slow-when-loading-games.511037/
When people tell you to use 32k, use 32k I guess.
