Tattood_Patriot Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Hello, I'm new here and I'm looking for some help. I bought the flashback portable and I've been trying to get ROMs to work on it. I am using a 8gb SDHC card and transfered ROMs I downloded from here. I can see them on the portable but I cant get them to play. Any advice please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Look in the other threads here for clues. Format the card using the SD Format Utility (not Windows), be mindful of the sentence case expected by the machine. Unzip everything, watch for unsupported characters.

Nukey Shay Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Type of SD card maybe? The cheapo Lexar one I have only worked once...no problems with SanDisk so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattood_Patriot Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Thank you all for the help. I found the post in regard to "proper formatting of the SD CARD" and dowloaded the SD card formatter. Fixed the problem. Games work on the portable now, now I am searching for compatable games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
