Gamestation PRO not recognizing SD card

[Obadiah64]

Ok, I think I have tried everything that can be done to get this to work, but I thought I would run by you guys to see if I missed anything.

 

My Gamestation Pro does not recognize any micro sd card I put in it.

I have tried two differnt brands, a Samsung and a ONN.

Both are 32GB cards. I formatted them in the exFAT format.

I used the Windows format tool on both a Windows 10 and 11 system.

I tried using 3rd party sd formatting tools. I also tried formatting on a Linux OS (Mint) system.

Nothing worked.

 

The unit works flawlessly otherwise. Love it. But I would like to be able add a few more games.

So if anybody has any suggestions on what might be the problem, I would greatly appreciate the help.

 

I have contacted MyArcade and their suggestion was to do a return and swap.

I purchased it through Amazon and if all else fails, that is what I will do.

 

Thanks in advance.

Uuhhhhhhhhh.....Well......I....mmmmmmmm.....

Looks like the problem was user error.....appearantly once you format the sd you have to create a folder named "games" on it.......mmmmm.....well, there you have it, case closed..

I accidently did the same thing last night and could not figure out why the new SD card wasn't working for a good hour. Then it dawned on me.
