I noticed that some newer platforms (e.g. m3 and g7x2) now have CAM_MULTIPART defined to 1. Does that still mean SD cards requiring multiple partitions?

IIRR, it´s not required, it´s an option for cards > 32GB. https://chdk.fandom.com/wiki/Prepare_your_SD_card#Bootable_SD_Card_Method Method 4Edit2: Cams supporting multipart. Code: [Select]Search "CAM_MULTIPART" (83 hits in 80 files of 7242 searched)

May I suggest that CAM_MULTIPART be defined as follows:requiredsupported?
Cameras released in 2011 and later support booting from FAT32, and thus do not need FAT16. This also corresponds to the change from DryOS R45 to R47. Per our list https://chdk.fandom.com/wiki/P-ID_(Table) the last 2010 / R45 powershot is S95, P-ID 0x3212. The first 2011 / R47 is A3300, P-ID 0x3223
Edit: I believe I found a reasonable solution. The generator already determines whether a camera supports FAT32 (or later) based on model ID. Please confirm that ixus990_sd970 doesn't.

since a few models that have 'no need for FAT16' do have it since i requested to give those cams dual boot capabilities.as far as i know these include the S100, S110 and M3. however, since dmitrys stated the g7x (II) has also dual boot. there might be more models now that support dual boot, and in these cases it is: FAT16/exFAT formatted.Phil, do we have a current list of all >2011 models that support dual boot?For these i use the in-cam dual partition tool and use chimp for creating the bootflag.
