Hacking One or 2 SD cards?

[Fafner]

Hi all!
I'm currently using two separate MicroSD cards: one for everything SX-Pro related, the other one for legit stuff (games bought from the e-Shop). Is it possible/safe to keep everything on a single SD, hence not having to switch cards countinuosly, or I'd better continue to keep the 2 worlds separated?

I haven't heard of them scanning your sd card (yet) and I've had it that way for more than half a year already so I'd say it's at least so far safe.

Having 2 separate SD cards is pointless because all the evidence such as fake tickets is stored on NAND.

I think 2 cards makes the most sense. One EXFAT for XCIs/sysnand and one FAT32 for NSPs/emunand. If you try to use one for both it won't work AFAIK.

What?. You know that this """EmuNAND""" is saved on your NAND, right?
And you can use 1 exFAT for everything. Having 2 sd cards just seems like a pain in the ass the.

You can also use 1 FAT32 card for everything thanks to split nsps and the like.

Why? Do NSP require FAT32/don't support exfat? Sorry but I'm a bit new into this . FAT32 obviuosly has those known file size limitations.

Nope.

Many people used to keep separate FAT32 and exFAT cards because homebrew is prone to corruption when using exFAT whereas FAT32 has a 4GB file limit making it impossible to install larger nsp files. The latter has been overcome thanks to nsp splitters.

Except like 2 "specific" homebrews, this was never the case.

I see. Thx for clarification.

It's just more convenient and stable that way: you don't need to split XCIs, and homebrew is more stable on FAT32.

If you use the same card for emunand and system nand, regardless of format, the two Nintendo folders will collide and it'll silently delete everything every time you switch between emu/sysnand.
