Wow, that looks fantastic. Great work!

My, for me working one, is this:

Glad you are looking into this issue. I can send you one of my 32GB cards at the end of the coming week. Please pm me with an address.

Today I received an MicroSD card from a different brand, unpacked it, copied the latest firmware and it worked. All my other cards are SanDisk, mostly 32GB Ultra A1 but also one 256GB Extreme A2. They all start just fine into the menu and work with games. That new card is just an PNY 16GB Elite class 10 UHS-I. Is there a chance that the modern SanDisk cards are in some way to fast? Thanks again for all your input and the great GameDrive! If you want to investigate further and have me test something, just let me know.

Thanks, I appreciate your offer. I'll try a few more small things (different card brand) and if nothing works I'll look for a way to get the GameDrive to you in the UK. Thinking about customs already gives me nightmares

Does the Jaguar GameDrive work in the same way with invalid updates and should produce an error message? I took my Jaguar and tried the card from that GameDrive in the 7800 one. But as before the fresh downloaded 23.08.0858 update is not recognized. I then tried that card in the Jaguar GameDrive and there is also no reaction to the update on startup. It's just loading the menu and I can start my games. If there should be an error message appear then that would support your filename theory. But on the other side, I triple checked everything with that files (no hidden extension, flags or anything) and I had never trouble with filenames before.

Thanks for checking. I tried it with a renamed PDF but the behaviour was the same. No complaining about the invalid update. In my desperation I also tried to download the update again under Windows (normally a Mac user) and also wrote it to several more cards (I have only different SanDisk MicroSD cards, but they work just fine with everything else for me.). Tested it as well without a connected controller. Result is always the same. It starts with your logo, then shows the "Press START for Firmware Update." line and next thing is the menu. Everything from there seems to work just fine. I have no idea what else to try ... Is 23.07.0363.PAL the firmware the devices shipped with or did I do an update after I got it? I'm not really sure anymore. Got mine from DragonBox here in Germany nearly a month ago. Is there maybe a way to force the update through a program that I could start from the menu?

Was worth a try but sadly gained nothing. Unpacked a fresh 32GB card, copied the update to it and started the 7800. Booted to an empty menu, saying "No Files Found". But I noticed that the credits screen does not work now. Nothing happens when I press the reset button with that otherwise empty card.

On that site https://www.retrohq.co.uk/FW/DW6CQ1Q4J6VCK thats what I'm downloading https://www.retrohq.co.uk/fw/download/DW6CQ1Q4J6VCK. There is no way that I put everything else than this on the card. All the Jaguar files are archived for at least two weeks now and gone from my computer. I just tried a second computer to be absolutely sure ... Take your time, I'm glad you're looking into this. I never would have thought to get such fast response on a saturday evening anyway

I'm pretty sure it's the new one because the file I copied to the card has todays download date. I even tried a different browser to rule out some kind of cache problem. I'm the first to admit if I'm to stupid for something, but I really have no idea what else to do on my end. I have firmware version 23.07.0363.PAL at the moment. But I might be mistaken that I updated once myself, because I got the Jaguar GameDrive at the same time and updated that definitely.

The card is FAT32 formated, the only other files in root are "7800GD.INI" and "hiscore.ram". Otherwise just folders with my ROMs. I updated to 23.07.0363 after receiving the GameDrive, so it worked once. Is it possible that the download link somehow still points to an older firmware version? What would happen if I put an already installed update on the card? No other files show up in the game menu, just my folders.

I scanned the QR code after pressing Start, download the firmware under the link with my serial, did not change the name of the file (firmware.upd), it's in the root of my SD card and if I turn on the console nothing special happens. It just starts normal as if no update was there ...

Hi. I can't get the GameDrive to do the 23.08.0858 update. Downloaded the update following the QR code and have it on the top level of my card. But nothing happens when I turn on my 7800 (PAL). At the moment I'm on 23.07.0363. Any ideas?

Same issue here. Music volume level is changing. Seems a little quiet most of the time and gets randomly louder for a few moments. Unmodded PAL 7800 ...

I'm just looking for a good stereo solution that works well with the Ultimate1MB and SIDE3, so if the PokeyMAX v2 does that I would gladly take one.

Any news on a new batch of PokeyMAX? I could really use one

Hi ... I'd like to preorder one Sophia 2 for a 800XL please.
