I rather not use fat32 because of the 4GB limit, and i really dislike command prompt stuff and rather just use a GUI instead for splitting NSP files, and not having to install stuff like python and so on to just clutter more on my windows ssd than needed, and rather just use exfat instead. But so many advice against that. Why is that? What's the worst that can happen? CAuse i do take backup of the sd card.
Nut and Fluffy are standalone apps, nothing additional needed (python, java, etc). Quark is another standalone app, it requires Java to be installed.
Nut works with Tinfoil
Quark works with Goldleaf
Fluffy, not sure if that's been updated to work atm, but works with OG Tinfoil and Goldleaf
I'd just get over the fear of "clutter" and be worried about the corruption that occurs with exfat instead. If your nintendo folder corrupts, bye bye games, if your cfw corrupts you won't be booting, if your switch folder corrupts, no more hb apps.
Just not worth the time because you think python or java are clutter.
You should also be using USB install anyways, way less time and damage over time to your sdcard slot.
There's a right way and a wrong way to do things. If you're using exfat, you're doing it wrong but you might be able to get away with it if you're not running much homebrew. If you're using exfat + retroarch, you're just begging to have your card corrupted.
It's a homebrew issue.
EdiZon and Checkpoint are also on that list, basically anything that writes a lot of files.
