No "format SD" option

Hi Guys,

My SuperED just arrived (OS v11). It wouldn't run the ROMs i'd put on and then read about needing to format the sd card. but the option under toolbox isn't there. anyone else had this problem and know the resolution?

i've tried three different SD cards:

All sandisk

miniSHDC 8GB in adapter
SDHC 8 GB
SanDisk ULtra II SDHC 4GB

any clues as to why this is happening? i really wanna play Final Fantasy VI!

 

Format it on your computer.

 

Tried that. Same problem re loading ROMs and still no "format sd" option :grief:

 

new carts don't need specific formatting, so they don't have format option. probably you use not unziped or bad roms

 

Oops. I was thinking Genesis! Sorry...

 

he talking about snes

 

Ah yeah, that's different. I know hacked roms can be a problem on snes. One idea to check.

 

Because there is no format SD on newer OS because its no longer as picky about the format anymore.

Are your ROMs unzipped? Many people try to use zipped ROMs. They must be unzipped.

 

i think it's the zipped issue.

For some unknown reason i thought .7z was a SNES format.

Will attempt with .SMC files and get back to you.

 

Yup, 7z is 7zip formate: http://7-zip.org/

 

All working now.... feeling rather embarrassed. :redface-new:

thanks for all your assistance.

FF VI (translated) here i come!

 

Could be worse. Your cart could have been one of the very few that is defective.

 

I can relate to that, megakey is busted on my everdrive MD. though 32x makes it irrelevant since the feature won't work there.
