exFAT and LaunchBox Compatibility?

[DarkMatterDM]

I have a 2TB External SSD that is exFAT.  I would only be putting MAME and maybe Virtual Pinball machines on that disk.  

Will I be running into any sort of trouble doing this?  I see a few issues on some posts about themes and exFAT.  That is why I'm asking.

If so, I'll just convert the filesystem to NTFS.  Rather find out now then later.😅

With a drive that big I'd use NTFS anyway. But to answer your question to get themes to work yes you may need to do some additional work if using an exFAT formatted disk. exFAT doesn't support the symlinks we use to make themes happy and without them themes that use media files can't find them and start throwing errors. Some themes won't be affected, many will be.

NTFS it is then.  Thankyou for getting back to me.
