I noticed something that should be mentioned... I ordered two 64 Gb Samsung EVO microSD Cards before checking that they were listed as not working in the compatibility list. When they arrived, I tried to install recalbox anyway and it worked flawlessly. So I was a little bit irritated as I bought the Cards specifically for recalbox and thought I would need other ones. So I began to think... I remember, I thought one old Card I had and was listed as compatible would not install recalbox. Every time I tried, there was an error at around 99% progress! Somehow I notice (after a long time) that the downloaded file was slightly smaller than noted on Github. I re-downloaded it and "voilà", it installed! It happend to be that my file was corrupted, but still good enough to reach 99%! Since then, I have been playing around with NOOBS 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 and the lastest 1.7. That means, taking the recalboxOS folder from the downloaded file and putting it inside the os folder of NOOBS (as I want a double boot). So I do not really know, how reliable that list is. I do not know if people have tried with an older version of recalbox and some changes have maked the compatibility higher. Another option is that the modified version of NOOBS (recalbox-rescue) is responsible for the problems. Maybe the SD Card I tried was a newer release of the same SD Card and that did the job. The fact that the SD Cards must be formatted as FAT32 can also be a reason why people think, SD Cards bigger than 32Gb do not work when they put it in the Raspberry Pi. Or it might just be so simple as the downloaded files the persons used were corruped. Anyway, I am very happy the installation worked on my SD Card and would recommend, the persons who have had problems installing recalbox to try again.
