Homebrew RetroArch Switch

Exfat? I get corrupted SDFiles with exfat format and i need to reinstall all. Since this, i'm using fat32 and no problems.

Yeah could be, but how do you go about installing game files that are larger that 4GB on FAT32?

Is this the smell of exfat in the air?

I know I shouldn't be using it, but I was too hyped

Haven't had time to buy a bigger SD card for fat32 yet.

That putrid smell of cancerous radioactivity in the Switch :^}

If it sounds too random, it must be exfat. It always is.

It has. It happened to me. The card became completely unreadable even by my Windows machine. I had to go into Diskpart and clean it through Diskpart. Then I had to create a primary partition through Diskpart. After I did that, I could use Windows Explorer to format the card.

This happened to me somewhat as well. Before all this cfw madness, I couldn't run a game I purchased because it was "corrupted." Redownloading didn't fix it, but when I popped that microSD into a computer it told me it was corrupted and needed to be fixed. After doing so, I put it back in the switch, deleted and reinstalled the game and boom. Back to working order. It looks like exFAT is a problem that well extends the homebrew scene. Having said that, using this on a fat32 device I had lying around has proven quite problem-free, so I wish there was a way to get my 128GB into fat32 and have my switch recognize it without formatting it.

Seriously, is there any way to get a 128GB card into my switch as fat32? Just wondering if it's possible, or if everyone using this emulator properly has to use 32GB or less?

I used guiformat on Windows.

Just use any tool to format as fat32.
It has a limit of several terrabyte.
Windows just wants to sell you exFAT. Make sure you format with 32kb cluster size

Actually getting the card formatted into fat32 is not the problem. As I stated before, when I formatted a card into fat32 before, the switch re-formatted it because of "reasons." I was hoping to avoid this.

I got it to work somewhat by toggling joystick from/to retropad then when getting ingame, pressing "Y" works for the on screen keyboard

Yes, confirmed with a fresh setup
You just need to change Controller0 type from “keyboard” to “joystick” in Core Options.
Then + (start) to bring the Vice GUI menu, followed by L to activate/deactivate the pointer.
Y key toggles the keyboard overlay. Note there is a second page of keys via the PG2 button bottom left.
I tend to ignore the Vice GUI menu as it’s kludgy and only repeats the same Core options available in the Retroarch GUI.

Thanks man. Google is good and all if I want to spend time looking for it. I saved a lot of time asking here.

Same happened to me.. I wanted to download the Boxart with the Online-Update feature.. It crashed and after that the sd card was corrupted. I had to install everything again...
So beware: Don't use with exfat for now!
