Can't use an exFAT SD card when using an SD2SP2 adapter on GameCube #87

As the title says.

I've got a 128GB SD card. Works fine with Picoboot/Swiss when formatted in exFAT, but CleanRip expects your SD card to be formatted in FAT32. This limits you to a 32GB SD card, since FAT32 only supports up to 32GB.

Picoboot/iplboot doesn't support NTFS. Please can I request exFAT support.

You can format SD cards larger than 32gb to FAT32 using 3rd party programs ie guiformat.exe

A quick google search is all you need

This doesn't help people who don't use Windows...

I know this is an old topic, but I have to correct this. Windows limits FAT32 to 32 GB, during formatting only. If you are not on Windows, FAT32 can be used to format up to 2 TB partitions (using default 512 KB sectors). Let's say you format a 128 GB SD card using FAT32 on Linux, Windows can still use it (even writing to it).
