hello, using a gba micro. using latest firmware 1.53 and 2.431sc software. Also am using a 1gb sd card with my sc sd version. Im wondering if there is a particular directory structure I need to follow in order to see all games? I have 2 folders on the card: GBA and NES. All files in nes folder are there and i can see every rom. I boot the micro, it shows the 2 folders, i choose nes, and it shows 9 pages of roms. The ninth page shows rom 65, yet i have all 772 US roms in this folder. Could someone explain why i cant see the other 707 roms? I dont recall reading anything about object limits inside a folder. Thanks for your time.

what u explain seems to be the FAT16 limit. Create more subdirectories and it should be fine.

Divide them into folders of about 50 ROMs each, then it should work. Just name the folders based on the first and last games in them; for instance, name the first folder "#-A", the second "B-Ch", etc.

As satanduck stated, there is a limit to the number of files you can have in a folder under FAT16, or at least there's a limit to how many the SC can read.

thx guys much appreciated. that did the trick. I now have both gba and nes separated into lettered folders. I see all now. Big bonus=makes searching faster and easier as well. Thanks again fellas.
