Hacking Question What version is compatible with Micro SDXC (128GB)?

[LysergCooltyp]

Currently on Amazon Germany, Sandisk A1 128GB costs 40€ while the 200GB is 56€ so the € per GB is even lower than the 128GB. 256GB is about 120€ though and totally not worth it.

Interesting. Last I checked 200GB was a 100 bucks.

E: yeah, just saw it. its currently on sale.

200GB is still heavily overpriced. Unless you get one during a decent sale, 128GB will be enough for a while.

Nice! Thank you! Yeah I think that a 128GB will enough for now.
So when I buy the SD card, should I just format it to Fat32, insert it and ignore this warning??

yes.
i hear people recommend a 3rd party formatting program to format larger cards to fat32 though

Thanks, even with a few extra euros for shipping to the UK this is still a lot cheaper than the same card on Amazon UK. Hope the sale lasts until I have the money for it!

I found this like 3 weeks ago so there's no rush.

I'm planning to buy a 128gb micro SDXC... I've searching on Google about the compatible version of the firmware but the only thing I found is things like "You need to update your console to use it"... so, any of you know which version is required to use this kind of micro SD?

The ExFAT update isn't actually part of the regular firmware updates, it's only downloaded once you plug in an ExFAT formatted MicroSD.
ExFAT or FAT32 probably doesn't matter for official software, but I could see it mattering with homebrew. For example NAND backups are rather large (but there is now a tool to backup NAND in parts so no issue there), in the future playing media could be an issue since movies often tend to be larger than 4GB. Also, I heard Dolphin runs pretty well in Linux on it (and once Vulkan gets added it should be even better), but of course many Wii games are over 4GB even when in WBFS format, luckily those can be split up. PS2 games on the other hand (if we ever get a good speed PS2 emulator on it) could be tricky.
Hopefully by the time we actually have a use for putting files larger than 4GB on the thing emuNAND will be released.

But isn't the 128GB card cheaper than €40 other places? So it still wouldn't necessarily make sense to get the 200GB card.

Yeah might be the case in UK for example, the 128GB only costs 30 GBP. Anyway the point is, 128 and 200GB cards are not overpriced anymore and depends on your need, both are good options. Just don't go for 256GB or 400GB.
