As per my understanding if your switch is in a lower firmware. Its better to use the exfat memory card then proceed updating to 10.0.4, on the other hand if the unit is in 10.0.4 already there is no way to use the exfat memory card. So we are stuck using fatt32 I guess, and if we succeasfully booted sx core boot.dat then backed up our nand we can proceed now to cfw. By then can we use exfats already? Im very new to SX operating system, so I reallt have so many questions lingering in my mind. Been with atmos since the start.

I'm gonna try the install this weekend, wish me luck
The last vidéo shared is really good. Best i've seen so far.
I applied flux paste with a needle to all the solder points including caps then tinned all solder points except the anchors.
Then positioned the ribbon with double sided sticky tape, this also keeps the ribbon flat and stuck down close to the caps.
Added tiny amounts of solder to the solder points several times by adding small amounts of solder to the solder tip and then touching it to the joint allowing it to reflow to the pretinned contact on the ribbon and dragging over to the cap.
Add more flux paste each time. Apply small amounts with a needle, if you add too much you can't see whats going on.
Let the solder point cool in between additions in order to avoid damaging the caps.
It's hard to wrong if you do it this way. People seem to get themselves in trouble by adding too much solder at once.
Solder the pads last to secure in position
Test by connecting the rest of modchip accessories and turning on. There is no need to attach the heatsink as the device will only be on for 10-15 seconds.
If it hasn't worked add more solder and retest.

Even if you dont rest he heatsink the cpu runs so cool you can leave it on in sxos menu for hours even doing a dump
There is a increase in the risk of corrupting data using exfat, for the last 2 years I've only ever used exfat and my 400gb sd card became corrupted only once and that might have had nothing to do with exfat.
For me the advantages of exfat out-way the risks, but then I don't use Homebrew.

As long as you dont play any games you can pretty much do everything you need without a heatsink and the chip will still not get hot - in the end its just a tablet chip anyway.
Also I had half my game library corrupted within a year using exfat on a 512gb sd without using homebrew - just using it like once a week to play a few games - maybe because the battery ran out a couple times.

I had the games installed as nsp, didnt use the album, just played games.
Exfat driver is just crap, there are more than enough people who dont have any cfw, having their games corrupted in ofw.
So far I am using FAT32 the last 2 months without issues.
Best explanation I found:
"The bug is in Nintendo's exfat driver. It constantly changes folders/files even on reads. And because it never syncs properly, on a hang/force quit/force reboot/power off, the handles are lost and the files/folders become missing from the file allocation table. Because exFAT does not have a 2nd FAT like fat32, these file/folders cannot be recovered."

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
