Supercard Game Limitations

Hey gang. I'm wondering whether or not there's a limit to the number of games that you can load on the your supercard sd combo.

I currently have 64 games on here, and tried putting two additional games. But they don't show on the menu at all. So what I did was remove two games that I don't play off the sd card, and add the new two games that I want to play and they still don't show up. Yet, their .sav files are visible.

I'm puzzled. Any thoughts? Thanks.

The FAT file system only allows so many files per directory. I suggest creating some more directories and putting the games in there. That should fix the problem and better organize your ROM collection.

Let me say this now... 64 games?! o-o Those are some SMALL games, unless you mean non-ds games, in which case I suggest sorting them into folders by which filetype they are (IE: .nes in one folder, .gb in another, although remember to put there saves with them.)

Actually, about 60 or so are ds games and the rest are gba games.

And the DS games are the latest releases as well.

I have a 2gb card so i'm able to fit alot.

And thanks for the tip on organizing the roms. I got two libraries now: GBA and NDS.

I find it helpful to put each game in its own directory... Just helps keep things clean and, obviously, avoids this problem.

I have instead made folders for different game genres. Like Action, RPG, Puzzle, Platform and Strategy (in case you wonder, I've put in Strategy games as Age of Empires and Advanced Wars, as well as the likes of Trauma Center and Phoenix Wright).

Very convenient and organized.

very organised!

normally i have a folder full of my games, and then a gba folder, then a homebrew folder. then i hide all the extra homebrew folder eg linux or shell.

if im really into a game i put it into the root to make it easier to find ^_^
