(Note: Some newer "Auto-Format" features in OPL nightly builds allow you to simply format the whole drive to exFAT on PC, and OPL will create its necessary internal partition data on the first boot, but manually creating the partitions ensures stability across most adapters.)

The FAT32 file system cannot handle any single file larger than 4GB. Because a huge portion of the PS2 library consists of dual-layer DVDs or high-density discs (such as Gran Turismo 4 , God of War , or Xenosaga ), their ISO files frequently exceed 4GB. Under the old system, you had to use a PC utility to slice these games into smaller fragments ( .001 , .002 , etc.) so FAT32 could recognize them. exFAT raises the maximum file size limit to 16 exabytes, meaning you will never have to split a PS2 game again.
