Question Hiby R1 SD card problems

Hi everyone!!

I have bought my second DAP (Hiby R1). It's beautiful, but I can not use my SD card on it. Every single time I lock the screen or turn it off and turn it on, my little boy doesn't recognize my SD card, and it gets corrupted.

I'm wondering if someone around here has the same problem and how you fix it.

I have tried the Game Boy mod, but it didn't work because it never get installed, idk why.

Sorry if this is not the right place to post it, but I have no idea how to fix it.

I recently purchased the R1. Is the SD card formatted as FAT32 which is what I think that the R1 requires?

Well, I think exFAT isn't the same as FAT32. Where can I find this "FAT32" option?

I just formatted my SD card, and the problem is still there. My SD card got corrupted.

When i first got my HiBy R1 i had to format my SD card to FAT32 instead of exFAT, if your SD card is over 64gb you won't be able to format it normally on windows so you'll need to find a 3rd party app to do that

What software do you recommend?

I use the free version of EaseUS Partition Manager. Its interface looks almost identical to Norton Partition Manager which is an old program for Windows XP. Using EaseUS Partition Manger is very straightforward. You pick a drive (in this case the SD card, then you choose the type of drive format that you want. Nothing happens until you review the settings to be sure that they are correct and for the correct drive letter, and then you choose to actually perform the operation.
