Trebor Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Short Version: Try for free, SD Memory Card Formatter for Windows/Mac. Auto detects memory card and a "Quick Format" did what no other Windows 10 formatting option, quick or thorough, could do for me... ..memory card working *perfectly* with my multi/flash cartridge. Long Version: My Compact Flash, Dane-Elec 4GB card, for my SNES PowerPAK stopped functioning properly. So I thought to format the card and have a fresh, clean start. Big mistake; at least regarding formatting the card under Windows 10. I tried every allocation cluster available for FAT32, but regardless of formatting options, PowerPak would always report back, "CARD FORMAT ERROR - USE FAT16 or FAT32". I was about to order another Compact Flash card when I decided to try a little more digging and came across the following: The "SD Card Formatter" by Tuxera, works easily and beautifully. Now, the Dane-Elec 4GB card is recognized by the SNES PowerPak as properly formatted and functions flawlessly. I even felt brave enough to update the firmware on my SNES PowerPak from 1.02 to the Unofficial SNES PowerPak Firmware 3.10 through the card. All went well, without a hitch. I want to pay it forward to those that may have issues with 7800GD or Concerto, or any other flashcart/multicart. Hopefully this tool with rectify the issue regarding any formatting, recognition, or functionality with your SD card as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
