    Hi, I reformatted my ED64 SD card and re-placed all my folders/ROMs on it and now the ED64 will not recognize the ED64 OS.v64. When I power the ED64 on it says "cannot find the OS.v64 file blah blah".

    I quick-formatted it using FAT32, default allocation size. How do I need to format it so that the ED64 can use it again? Thank you :).

    there's not need some special formatting method. may be you make mistake in ED64 folder name, or OS file is damaged, or dirty contacts on sd card

    I think it does have something to do with the formatting because I tried using a different SD card before this one (was using my 8gb ED64 SD card for a video recording because I needed the extra space) and the smaller 2gb SD card gave me the same error. I then switched back to my 8gb card and it worked fine. But now that I've formatted the 8gb card I'm getting the same error.

    Just cleaned the SD card contacts, same issue. I also just downloaded the newest OS from your site. My folder structure is the same as always and worked beforehand.

    I have Windows 7 64-bit. Any clues to what I should specify to make it work? Maybe regular FAT or a specific allocation size? Maybe non-quick format?

    I guess I'll try a few mothods and report back when I find one that works.

    regular FAT not available for 8GB cards, only fat32. but full format is a good idea

    Hey, I was wondering something. I would like to play a game on a computer emulator and take the save and use it on my everdrive. Would this be possible? I had tried before, but it hadn't worked. I'm not sure if i was using the same savetype or something

    Abahbob emulators use varios byte orders, if you convert it in correct byte order, it will work on ed64

    RE: JFG - I take that back. Compared original with cracked version, and I can now see the difference.

    New topic.

    Since I haven't used my ED64 much, I don't know about all of its capabilities. My question is on the forced save type. Some games like Raymond use controller packs. Is it possible to force these games to save to the SD card instead of the controller pack using the force save state function? I need to know for my project portable 64. I want to use a trumble pack I have for wii like controlling by tilting the controller and it will be hard wired into the controller making the use of a controller pack very hard. Just wondering. If not, then I can try to make it work like those rumble packs that have a switch for a memory pack to save to when needed. Would be nice to have this tilt/rumble pack thing work for some driving games so I don't need the steering wheel when on the go.

    No there is no way to save external saves directly to the SD card, this has been asked many times. KRIKzz says he plans on adding a feature to back-up saves from the external memory card to the SD card, but in this case you will still need a external memory card.

    I tried 3 different cards, all do the same thing. I might have to just send it to you because I no nothing about this thing. How do I know where to send it?

    You are aware that you cant enforce those terms and conditions if you accept paypal, right?

    If the package gets lost and you were paid through paypal - paypal WILL refund the customer if you cant prove it was delivered (so tracking number, that says it was delivered and signed for).
