whoever was making nintendont (the wii homebrew app that can launch gamecube games from e.g. a usb drive) and decided "eh, only supporting fat32 is good enough" deserves eternal misfortune
so maybe instead you want to have two hard drives, one with your gc games and one with your wii games
nope! nintendont also doesnt work if you have more than one hard drive plugged in
@typhlosion I have my gc games on the sd card, dunno what the limit for that is
@noiob but what if i want access to more than [checks nintendo's official documentation for supported types of sd card] 32gb worth of gamecube games
@typhlosion did they make that many
@typhlosion oh shit they did
@typhlosion @noiob The Wii can theoretically go up to 2TB for SD, it's just not officially documented. I've seen a few use a 256GB no problem. As for the file size limitation, there is a way to split .wbfs files into multiple parts
lets say, for example, you want to use backups of both wii games and gamecube games. so you format your drive as fat32 because nintendont is particular and start getting your games on there
the issue is, fat32's max file size is 4gb
and wouldn't you know it, a small handful of wii games in WBFS format scrape juuust over that limit
