Because the files aren't a whole, its impossible. Although if the file or files that are bigger then 4GB are PSARC files, then you can decompress them and the game will work. This is because the contents are split up into their original format and now individual are smaller then 4GB. So inspect the contents of the game folder. If the files over 4GB are these PSARC files, Use the attached program and it can fit and work on FAT32

Also, if they are not psarc files, theres a port of hermes manager onto 3.55, which supports hard drive caching. Basically, it allows you to play games larger than 4gb by caching the content to the internal hard drive.
