SainT Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) Eurgh, I cant believe they don't even have an option for FAT32 -- they must have switched to NTFS completely now. Try and format it to 4GB FAT32 if you can. I'll see if I can create a disk image with everything needed on which you can just install onto the card...

Well I'll order some online and get this thing up and running. In the mean time I'll play with the 8 and 64 I have and see if there is something I can do to get them working. Who knows maybe I just made a stupid mistake in setting them up and that is the reason they arn't working. As a side note fat32 is no longer supported on Win10 so you need to use a separate utility to format it, or an older computer with a Windows version that does support fat32. I've added LynxImage.zip to the first post which is a physical disk image of a 4GB memory card which boots for me. You could try using something like WinImage to write the image to your memory card. It should then show up as a 4GB card. There may be physical differences between the cards, though, such as a physical sector size larger than 512 bytes which may bugger things. Give it a go and see... Edited October 23, 2019 by SainT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Moss Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 As a side note fat32 is no longer supported on Win10 so you need to use a separate utility to format it, or an older computer with a Windows version that does support fat32. I have not tried formatting an SD card since upgrading to Windows 10 but if you are correct a lot of old features can still exist but are just hidden and not easy to access for the standard user (Microsoft way of stopping people getting into trouble), a quick search revealed several results indicating that provided the SD is not bigger than 32GB the native Windows solution is… Go to “Run” (under All Apps/Windows System) or type run in to the search bar and select the desktop app Enter “format /FS:FAT32 x:” where x is the Driver letter of your SD card. Not having tried it myself I have no idea if that is correct, alternatively if you do not trust that method or a third party utility you could turn to your other devices that use SD cards such as your Mobile phone or digital camera/camcorder. Hopefully the manual will state if it uses FAT32 or will reformat any inserted SD to FAT32, if not and you have access to a PC with a card reader insert your devices SD card into that and look at its properties, that should tell you if the card is formatted to FAT32. If either of these are true then hopefully you will be able to use that device to format the SD you wanted to use for the Lynx cart as FAT32.

Michael David Morsette Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the tips fortunately I have old computers lieing around and use those, I just noticed when I tried it with my main computer the option wasn't there. I think my problem is the size of the SDs I'm using. Yesterday was a never ending work day so I wasn't able to try out the image SaintT posted, but I'll give it a go as soon as some free time comes my way Edited April 12, 2016 by MrBland 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael David Morsette Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 IT'S WORKING!! So I resized the SD and used the image you provided and it works! It comes up with the insert card message and a few seconds later the menu comes up. I'm starting to wonder if my larger SDs would have worked just fine if I had been more patient and given it more time to load. I'll see if I can load a video up later tonight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael David Morsette Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 No the cover is not removable, and I tried to stuff it into my Lynx I and it doesn't fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone goes for the uncased Lynx 1 version, I'll send the top case along with it unattached.

Guitari Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I thought we just specified whether we want cased and quantity when saint PMs us when it's our turn. I'm considering one uncased fir lynx I and cased for lynx 2. I'll be using model 2 mostly but would hate not to use it on my mcwilled model one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krip316 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I thought we just specified whether we want cased and quantity when saint PMs us when it's our turn.Yes, I remember that too. Somebody didn't pay attention to directions, now everyone is doing it. People, all you gotta specify in your post is that your interested. When it's your turn, Saint will get the specifics from you then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
