Degraded performance on FAT32 SD cards/USB drives that are significantly full #42

the problems can start when the card/drive is about half full this can cause problems writing replays and even reading from the ISO this may be a bug in the FatFs library? Not sure where else it could be

did you test on exFAT by chance?

exFAT drives do not have this problem. However homebrew channel does not support exFAT so you just have to keep your SD card empty for best results
