Hi,
I have the supercard sd version. I have upgraded the firmware to the latest 1.54 and have 2.44 patching software.

My question is when i transfer the patched files over i can never get anywhere near 512mb on it,am lucky to get 270mb. It comes up saying corrupt file or something like that. Its not a corrupt file because if i put that same file on with a smaller collection of files works fine. I am transfering files using a memory card reader. It does this with all the memory cards i have and formatting them makes no difference.

thanks for reading this

This could either be a problem with your card or a limitation of FAT16. Are you by any chance transfering a lot of small files? if so try splitting them up into directories....

Hi,

Its just my kids favorate roms. So i can put them in folders on the card and they will still show up in the list.

The problem with fat 16 is that it has a 64 file limit per folder. The easiest solution is to make folders seperating different roms. It forces you to be a bit more organized too ^_^
