@matana funny enough that's the exact thing i'm wondering about lmao. you can install games onto a fat32 formatted SD card but only if you start the install on the switch over FTP or USB. the switch can split up larger files to install onto a fat32 SD card.

what is retarded is some r*dditor saying that he can actually drag larger files than that over to his SD card and i don't think he actually understands the process of what he's doing.

unless there is some black magic voodoo thing going on where the switch actually splits ANY file that is placed into an SD card while it is connected in real time somehow. which would be some really fucking weird technology that would make you wonder why no operating system does that.

i'm going to have to test this out myself and see what the fuck is going on because if you actually can load up software on your switch to connect to the SD card through USB to your PC and you can actually drag files over 4GB onto it that's fucked and just not supposed to be possible. the whole point of the 32 in fat32 is that it is a 32 bit file system, meaning it can only store up to 4GB per file. that's also why 32-bit programs can only make use of 4GB of RAM. if there is some cheesy way of getting around that idk why literally nobody uses it except apparently some homebrew app on a switch? that would probably fuck up compatibility elsewhere too.
