   I was copying a Totally Legal Game Backup onto my roommate's switch and it confused Windows so much that it told me I had the wrong floppy diskette in the drive.

     @ok_devalias amusingly I was actually working on a cow farm simulator a few years ago, then twitter and unity both exploded out from under us so we canceled it

     @foone@digipres.club you should actually put the first few megabytes of the game on there

     gah. I'm having continual trouble with a modded switch, because you need a microSD card which you copy files onto and they keep getting corrupted.

     I corrupted my first SD card by trying to copy a game that was too big and the fat filesystem filling with lost sectors, so I wiped it and started setting it up again. My idea was that I'd set it up and then image the whole SD card!

     I get the new SD card set up, but before I image it I try copying a single game onto it.

     this corrupted the filesystem. See the above error? That was windows deciding the microSD card wasn't formatted anymore

     @KayOhtie good question. I was following the guide which had me format it from the TegraExplorer payload, and I'm not sure how it formatted it.

     @foone Are you using FAT32 or exFAT? Ran into a TON of issues with that happening on exFAT with the Switch specifically for some reason D:

     @KayOhtie I went back in: turns out it does fat32

     Using Awoo-Installer's network mode to avoid having to copy a bunch of files on and off of the SD card seems to have kept it from instantly corrupting itself.

     So now I'm backing up the SD card as a dd-image. I can just re-image it or stick it on a second card if something goes wrong
