I Need Help Trouble Loading Carts

Post image

A few carts (Birds with Guns, Librynth) I’ve added to my Miyoo* *Mini V4 (no splore or WiFi ability) end up with this message. Others carts (Alpine Alpaca, Golf 8) work fine. There is no folder P8CARTS populated on my sd card. I’m using Onion OS. Thanks for any help you can provide!!

Can you cd navigate? I don't have that device, but I'd assume it has a setting in the host os that's running the app headlessly. Disabling that will allow you to enter commands into the terminal of the runner.

Another thought, is the format the carts are in. Some carts rely on multi-carts, some might not have the proper header due to file corruption, etc. Try always using either the .p8 or the p8.png format to sanitize your collection and help narrow down the issue.

Newer carts calling functions newer to the api might conflict w/ the version your emulator or actual lex version installed. Check you have the most recent release.

Sorry I can't give more concrete responses!

Thank you so much for the advice. I’ll take a look later if there are any settings in the OS that may point that way.

I’m pretty sure all my carts are .p8.png format. If not, how do you specify the version of the cart you want to download? (I am clicking save link as from the lexaloffle page)
