I'm looking for compatible SD cards with GDemu. Of the many random cards I've tried, the only one that I've gotten to work is a 2GB PNY SD card. That's okay, but I'm hoping for a larger card to work. I have a 32GB Sandisk Ultra micro SD with adapter, which I've taken from an old 3DS and formatted to FAT32. I've loaded it with the same files that I put on the 2GB card, but the GDemu doesn't ever detect the disk images.

Is there a list somewhere of compatible cards, or is there possibly a troubleshooting that can be done for GDemu?

I've no experience with gdemu but is that because it doesn't support SDHC/SDXC cards? Try other non-SDHC/SDXC cards to see if they work.

I don't believe that should be the issue. The site reports support for SDHC cards up to 32GB, and should also accept 64/128GB SDXC if you format in FAT or FAT32. I've seen some videos of people running off of Sandisk Micro SDHC similar to mine, so I don't know why theirs would work and mine wouldn't, given mine is also formatted in FAT32.

Hmm, I see.

i use full gdi games,and cdi are games where music is encoded in a lower bitrate,cutscene video's are downsized ect...,those groups back in the day known what they did.
i use full gdi because i want that,you still can use cdi or ccd(clone cd) images.
buy sdcards from a well known brand like kingston-sandisk-samsung,believe transcend is sometimes a problem.

That's what I thought (regarding GDI).

Strange but the only card I have working is a PNY 2GB SD.

I might have to just try more cards, maybe reformat my sandisk, at worst reach out to the creator.

    I haven't been gaming for such a long time. Been mostly busy with sleep, hardware tinkering and checking GBAtemp frequently.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Hope you've had a good morning.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    It's going alright thanks :) I know what you mean with gaming time. It's precious where I can get it these days.

    I think that's why I focus on just enjoying single player experiences that aren't too competitive

    How are you doing?

    There's also this thing where I'm hyperfocused at night and cannot get to sleep.

    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.
