swiss does support FAT/FAT32 format and tested currently up to 128GB SDcard.
WKF specific info:

1. use v0.3 swiss(pal).iso only (should be fixed in next release)
2. after selecting swiss in the WKF menu GC will reboot.

watch my videos which show in FULL DETAIL every step of the process...
there is a reason why each video is 15 minutes+
because there is a lot of information to learn to clear up all these issues...
i agree with shockslayers statement about my videos being too long...trust me, if this was simple i would have only made a 2 minute video...but its not simple, there is a lot of new things to know and understand and even more now that we have WKF autoboot...
and like i said before, all the information i posted above only applies to portables with no GC/Wii DVD drive...
there is a whole new dimension of combinations and settings and instructions if someone wants to use a DVD drive with WKF on a home console....
PLAN TO SPEND 1 HOUR TO WATCH THESE VIDEOS IN THEIR ENTIRETY!!!
EVERY STEP AND DETAIL IS SHOWN AND EXPLAINED
( most important video to watch )
