Case-sensitive when reading from SD card. about citra HOT 6 OPEN

I think this should be marked as Won'tFix. Trying to force case-insensitivity on case-sensitive filesystems only creates loads of problems.

On the other hand, it leads to inconsistent behaviour across platforms. Also, actual 3DS software might rely on case-insensitvity (just look at Adobe's stuff).

I'd say that almost certainly the case insensitivity will lead to issues eventually. Granted, there's no good way to solve this within a case-insensitive file system, but still we could support storing the SD contents as a raw .iso instead of as a folder structure. This also solves the problem that the 3DS filesystem might support characters which usually would not be allowed on the host file system.

On the flip side, that would make hand-editing the SD rather more difficult...

I guess it's a tradeoff between usability and accuracy.

Why not do what Dolphin does (one big disk image) with the exception of naming the file sd.img instead of sd.raw? It’s perfect for OS X users, they can just double-click to mount it (as opposed to having to change the extension first). Same for most decent Linux DEs and, uh, Windows 10. Probably. (It’s fine to shaft Windows users on things like this, right?)=

@pauldacheez That's basically what I suggested, yes.

@archshift yeah. If we really want to we can probably implement an own simple SD file browser in the long term, though.
