      I would like to have some information. What is the maximum capacity recognized by Retropie (fat32) for external hard drives? 2TB?

          Or, if you need Windows compatibility without third-party drivers, use NTFS or ExFAT. Both are better than FAT32 and can be used out of the box in Windows and RetroPie.

          Which features do you need the FS to have exactly?
