   The god damn Nintendo switch doesn't support usb floppy drives? Even in homebrew?

   What the hell, Nintendo? I want my money back.

   Maybe I can hack this back in. I hate doing usb coding but maybe

     I need to hurry up and make that pass-thru device/Alternate USB floppy drive that makes it appear as generic mass storage.

     @dryak more or less, but they technically use a different protocol, so a lot of embedded devices just ignore them

     @foone wait, but aren't USB Floppies already general mass storage with a few extra features ("removable")?

     Wouldn't the pass-through mostly need to read the unpartitioned disquette with FAT12 filesystem and expose it as a simulated GPT partition table with an exFAT filesystem?
     (a bit like the "TV compatibility" mode that some USB ootical drives had)

     @foone Ok, you have me, why do you need USB floppy drive support on a Nintendo Switch?
