Hacking Moving From WBFS to Fat32

[julz1]

Ok so i got a 320 gig hard-drive i use ive got like 67 games that occupy 150 gig the reason i wanted to switch was my 4 gig SD is full of Roms, Covers, Homebrew Wiiware etc
So i was wondering if i did swap to Fat 32 would all my Games Quadruple in size. That is my only real hang up because i feel other then that it would be really convient to have everything on one drive rather then SD & HDD
or will it be easier just to buy like 8-16 gig SD

I get most of my games from the video store and everyone posts that you cant dump directly to NTFS
and im not sure if all the emulators/homebrew have NTFS support

Well, if you think you can use the wasted space for better things, then go for it

You can't "convert" it though, so you'll need to stock all games somewhere else for a short time

USB Loader GX supports writing to NTFS from now on, if that works good, expect that change also to become available in both WiiFlow and CFG Loader USB.

The only other homebrew which supports NTFS is MPlayer-CE. The rest of them doesn't.

You can convert them to .wbfs files, which are smaller
