Atari Flashback 9 (3050) SD Card Question

[AtariNewbee]

Hi, I'm new to the forum and I just purchased the Atari Flashback 9 Boom (3050).  I've looked thru the pinned topic on the Firmware and SD Card update and it's bit overwhelming as to what to do and what not do to. So a few quick questions.

 

1: As of Nov. 2020, what is the best firmware update to use. Is it the one on this site or the one on the ATgames site?

2: There are several youtube vids on the subject, is there one that is the most accurate to follow.

3: I have a Mac.  Aside from the issues of renaming the game ROMs, would there be any issues with using my SD Card on a Mac?

 

Thanks!

Please ignore. It was easier than I expected. The mod can remove this topic if they want to.

Well I'd like to know the answer on formatting the SD card.  I tried that program from post #1 in the FAQ and it didn't make a difference on my 2 GB Sandisk card.  It never shows up in the boom menu.
