4.37GB ISO on NTFS?

I have been trying lately to use an NTFS drive and put the 4.37GB ISOs on it (I use them OK on FAT32 as WBFS files).

I seem to have read somewhere that the ISOs work with no conversion. I tried putting then in WBFS directory or in root then accessing with a USB loader. However although the loader reports an NTFS partition the games are not seen.

Do I still need to convert ISOs to WBFS files even on an NTFS partition?

thanks
Jex

Solved.
My error not renaming the ISOs with the game ID.
ISOs run well with both CfgUSB Loader and USBLoaderBX under NTFS.

Personally I convert the iso's to wbfs anyway, just to save space. Most games are far smaller than 4.37GB.

It's also possible to convert the iso's to something called a sparse iso. Which retains the ability of the iso to burn to a disk, but still removes the padding and shrinks the filesize. I'm not exactly sure how to do that conversion though, sorry.
