"prog error 100"

[desfek44]

*SOLVED*

I received an Everdrive MD this holiday season (woohoo!) and have finally finished getting my ROMs in order. I had literally just sat back to fully enjoy my new found glory when I tried flashing Gunstar Heroes; and I got this:

loading...
copy sram to sd...
prog error: 100

Noticing something was wrong with the SRAM, I pulled out my SD card and checked my 'EDMD>SAVE' folder, where lo and behold, all the saves I had accumulated in testing are missing. On top of this, any time I try flashing ANY game, whether it uses SRAM or not - I get this error. Master System, PAL games, etc., NOTHING is flashing.

To make things worse, the last game I had tested was NBA Live 95 :crying: so I'm stuck playing that until I can figure out a solution.

*I have heard the Everdrive has issues when the SD card is near-full. My 2GB SD card has more than 150mb, but less than 200mb of free space left - might this be the issue?*

Thanks in advance for any help.

I kind of resolved the issue - I turned off Auto Backup SRAM, and it started flashing games again. However, all the files in 'SAVE' are still missing and none are being created by Madden 98. However, it seems to still hold a save. Am I just misinterpreting what the 'EDMD>SAVE' folder does?

WHOA - I just used the save SRAM to new file tool and it created 14 jibberish files in my 'SAVE' file. I'm going to stop messing around and wait for someone knowledgeable to reply here ><

Okay, I just reformatted my SD card (I couldn't delete the jibberish files, it was a necessity) and replaced all my ROMs. This seemed to clear up all problems. Weird, I can't figure out how this happened in the first place...

Hmm. Are you using a modded system? PAL users trying to get 60hz is a fairly common scenario to find quirks in.
