I got my SC today, it rocks. Anyway, I put about 4 ds games on it and they all played perfectly and then i put like 15 games on it and all i get is a white screen on boot up. Is there a limit to how many can go on there? btw my car had about 350MB still free. Thanks in advance.

I don't think you can have too many files in the card... You should keep 10-15% free.

Something you could try is putting a couple games in seperate folders. I'm surprised yours is behaving in such a way since you aren't even approaching the 64 file limit per folder of the fat 16 file system.

Alot of the games have to be set to "SD Position" (or "CF Position" of you have a CF version) because they are over 32MB, and the SC will only handle 32MB and under games being run from SC memory, which in turn will cause the white screens on load (because the game didn't really fully load!)  I always use the card position myself, because it loads quickly and I never had a problem. Basically what it is doing is loading the game directly from your memory card and not from the SC ram if you did not know this already. This is actually great, because this means the only limit you will have in the future when it comes to loading large games is the size of your memory card. A vast improvement to many of the old school copiers and flash units I owned in the past.
