Partition created as EXT4 can't be recognized on windows, how to fix? #106

What happened?

When I boot up the first time it keeps creating an EXT4 partition for the data, but I need it in FAT32, but when I format it, system doesn't boot, keeps on splash screen. What can I do to that the system expands the partition directly do FAT32?

Chiming in to say I'm having the exact same issue. Latest (20240105) fresh install expands the SHARE partition as EXT4 and makes it so that you need to be using a Linux OS to transfer rom files to it. I hadn't used it for a while but I definitely don't remember this being the case when I last tried Koriki out.

I also don't understand the need to create something that won't work for the majority (we all use Windows). Put the SD in the PC and format the ext4 partition (if it does not appear, you must assign a letter in some partition program, e.g. diskgenius) Format to exfat. Put the SD back in the console and the system will create the necessary folders. ;)

Hey fellas, it looks like the dev thought he fixed it in the latest release, but it is not fixed. You can work around this by flashing Koriki on to your SD card... and then BEFORE YOU TAKE IT OUT of your PC, reformat the "SHARE" partition from EXT4 to Fat32. Plug SD Card into RG35XX, boot up once, then power down, pop SD Card back into Windows PC, add games as necessary.
