My suggestion is for an error message such as “We have detected you are using the ExFat filesystm on your uSD card. This has been known to cause problems on the switch. Please do not ask for support for ExFat related issues. A tool like fat32format can be used to format your card to fat32 and should solve your sdcard corrupting issues.

Please no. 4 mandatory splash screens on boot are already more than enough.

And when was the last time someone opened an issue here that was caused by exfat?

[fennectech]

We closed one earlier today. I’m talking about a message that appears if and only if the users is using exfat. If they are using fat32 they dont get it.

But what if the user hasn’t experienced any issues? What would be the point?

[fennectech]

Because. They will. Its just a mater of time. And with exfat it can mean lost data. With homebrew thats more than just having to redownload your stuff.

[SciresM]

let's not.
