SX OS + MAC = please get a PC!!

[SephiroT]

Today I was helping one of new SX OS users.
He is MAC user (we don't use MACs often in Poland) and it was horrible!!
Before I didn't have any issues other that user's stupidity. Any previous (PCs) were all OK!!

Here comes MAC:
- SD card format vary (different partition size)
- After EmuNAND option 2 - card was unusable ("Unable to access microsd card" Switch Error)
- Now it doesn't recognise any folders - he needs to put any nsp, xci and nro directly @ the SD card.

...my first thought - if you are a MAC user - please do yourself a favour and get PC for one evening

Alternatively, recreating catalogues from scratch by "NX Shell" does the trick if you do not have PC handy.

I do most of my computering haha on a PC, but I have used a MAC without issue as well for this. There are options for people who only have a MAC if they don't want to buy a PC.

They can use Virtual Box with windows installer, use bootcamp with windows installed or just setup FTP and copy files that can be copied that way.

Agreed Windows is probably the best option though to avoid some of the corruption issues that happen.
