3DS vs. Fat32 format limit

Posted by orpheus on .
So, on a custom firmware 3DS the sd card has to be formatted to Fat32, which has a maximum file size of 4gb. But the larger games in the Vault (like Monsnter Hunter 4) look like they have an extra byte or so of data, putting them just over the 4gb limit and cant be loaded onto a Fat32 sd card. Other .cci games from the Vault work perfectly fine. Is there any way to get these onto my 3ds? Why the extra byte?
