No "format SD" option

[xUlysses31x]

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.

Format it on your computer.

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

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...

Are you trying to load Master System roms:
with 32X attached?
using a JVC X'eye console?
on the Nomad?

None of these three things work properly.

32X doesn't support SMS.
JVC X'eye can only boot direct to SMS mode. Trying to soft reset from 16bit mode results in glitches. Meaning for SMS games it needs an adapter, so real cartridges or master everdrive can run.
Nomad has to first get a simple mod to restore SMS mode.

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.

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.
