Still does this as of Big Sur. Creation time is reset to modified time. This isn't really an issue unless you're like me and want to preserve as much info as possible. | Still does this as of Big Sur. Creation time is reset to modified time.

Currently the only way I found around this is to manually copy the files in Finder. Maybe there's another command-line tool to preserve this data. Either way though, it means the disk image needs to be manually created with the right size. | Currently the only way I found around this is to manually copy the files in Finder.

== FAT32 partition created by EmuNAND9 somehow confuses hdiutil == | |||
Any time I've tried to create an image from a FAT32 partition that was created by some version of EmuNAND9 caused hdiutil to exit with <code>hdiutil: create failed - error -4</code>. I thought it was due to an EmuNAND or RedNAND once existing, but I found out it happens even if I try to do so with just the partition. | |||
This error is so weird and rare that I couldn't find anyone else with it through Google. I guess I shouldn't expect hdiutil to work with weird non-standard setups though. | |||
Works fine with an SD card formatted with GodMode9. | |||
