    Hey guys,
    I got my EverDrive MD today in the mail. But it's not working or maybe I've done something wrong.
    The MAIN problem is that when it says its copying the loading bar just freezes and red light goes off.
    Some roms have copied/flashed, but then I just get a black screen.

    My Hardware:
    Mega Drive 1 PAL (Model No.1601-05) Modded with RCA output.
    EverDrive MD (OS Ver.29 - Firmware Ver.13 - Assembly Date 27.02.2012)
    SanDisk SDHC 8GB
    ADATA SD 1GB

    ROMS:
    GoodGen v.3.0 [GoodMerged] [7-Zipped] [5.871 Genesis - MegaDrive - 32X Known Games] Full Roms' Set

    The flash cartridge is in a cartridge shell.
    I've disabled Hard Reset in the options.
    I've formatted the sd cards on windows 7 (FAT32)
    I've formatted the sd cards on the EverDrive
    I've renamed the ROM file to .bin and removed symbols, [!] ect.
    I've "Safely Removed" SD card from PC
    I've tested original Sega Cartridges in the console which work fine

    Tried all of the above and nothing has worked, am I doing something wrong or missing anything? Or is this EverDrive broken?
    Can I fix it?

    Any help would gratefully appreciated, I'm so gutted it's not working :concern:

    EDIT: Same problem with SMS roms

    I did say that I tried .bin roms and it didn't work, still freezing. Plus I thought I'd get get some advice on here before updating the OS. Krikzz didn't say to update the OS... surely he knows best?

    Anyway I've sent the EverDrive to him now so I cant try anything else. I'm just hoping it gets to the Ukraine from UK... I sold my copy of Deep Fear for Saturn to pay for this amazing piece of kit, so if it gets lost in the mail I will be even more depressed.

    Also I got the YLOD on my ps3 recently and my Saturn is showing a pink/purple screen but I still get sound...
    Arghh, I'm having the worst luck with video games at the moment.
