    I got around to testing my Master Everdrive today. The main menu comes up, but when I try to select any of the games or directories it says INIT FAT. Does this mean the SD card isn't formatted properly? I formatted it as FAT32, the same way I've done my other Everdrives and they all work. Any ideas?

    Ahh ok, that makes sense. Is there a way to format a card as FAT16 in Windows 7?

    Out of curiosity, can I format my 4GB card using Fat16 and have it come out a 2GB card that will work with the Master Everdrive or do I need an actual 2GB card?

    Yep I figured that out last night. Guess I have a spare 8GB card for my next Everdrive. :)
