ok so last night i got a 500gb type-C flash drive with exfat format. after creating xci files with NSCB i placed them on my flash drive. fire up sxos (pro) open the album and i see them. they are white boxes with the correct info. they are unable to lauch it tells me. so i place same files on the normal hdd i use for docked mode (exfat) and they work. so this tells me the flash drive is bad. so for sh!ts and giggles i format to fat32 and try again, this time they work.
so out of this experience i have found that a type-c flash drive will only work in fat32 format. is there any plans in the future for this ? it would be a great addition to the sxos functions compared to other cfw.
maybe i just missed something, and i am doing it incorrectly? i read at gba that there was a issue because the cluster size was wrong while formatting with split/trimmed xci's. could this be the case?

just to be clear when i am using the type-c flash drive it is connected directly to the console and not the dock. (it doesnt read from the dock either in exfat)
any other options?
thanX in advance

If you dump one of your game carts and put it on the USB thing unmodified, will it then work if the stick is formated as ExFAT ?

These are dumps from 8.1 before I updated. They are all working on my external hdd.
so I formatted with a 32kb cluster and worked for a minute. So I tried again with a 64kb cluster. Seems more better but now the xci is asking for a software update. I have 2 copies. One working on 8.1 and one I patched for 8.1. Both ask for update.
something on my sd card out of whack?
