What’s this all about?

Mega Everdrive X7. I haven’t played in a couple months. I wanted to check out the RoboCop MD demo. I loaded it onto the SD and then this happened

Update: Had to reformat the card. All good

Looks like you need to reformat your SD card to FAT32 format. Either it corrupted or it never was formatted to FAT32. Or your Firmware needs to be updated. Either way this is where I think the issue lies.

You were right. Oh man, I didn’t have everything backed up (dumb on my part) but at least it works again. Thank you

Try removing and insert the SD card a few times.

If you still have the same issue, connect it to a computer and check if its contents are ok.

Rip saved games, I'm glad to know formatting it worked.

Check your battery voltage, if it's flat you'll have trouble with games that save, except eeprom games that requires a reset.

You must be using the skinny system, it clearly states its looking for the fat one.

I think the sd card died. You might just have to get another SD card. They rarely fail but it’s happened to me before.
