Hacking Cyclo DS not reading formatted microSD cards.

[orcishlad]

I just recieved my Cyclo DS in the mail today and I'm having trouble getting it to read my two microsd cards. Everytime I load the Cyclo DS, it says that the MicroSD card isn't in FAT16/FAT32 format. I've formatted both of them a few times and I've even used the Panasonic SD Formatter but my Cyclo is still saying they're not in FAT16/FAT32 format. What's the deal?

(The two microSD cards are a 2GB AData and a 4GB Sandisk Class 2)

Is your card FAT16/FAT32? You never said if it was,you just said you reformatted.

 

[orcishlad]

Yes. Both are FAT32.

I tried another card a few minutes ago, a 2GB SanDisk formatted to FAT32. No dice. Might I have a defective Cyclo?

Try putting a firmware update file in there. Does it load?

I put the latest firmware update on all of the cards, and the Cyclo still won't load. It says the cards need to be in either FAT16/FAT32 format. (Which they all are.)

Definitely a defective card. I usually get that error when my microSD is dirty or not inserted properly, which means that the contacts aren't meeting correctly. This sucks, hope you get your replacement.

Try holding Down+B after turning on your DS and see what happens.

Yeah, I looked around and tried this. If I have one of my MicroSD cards inserted it just takes me to a black screen, if they aren't inserted I can successfully get to the recovery console. (Which is useless as I can't load an update without an SD card inserted.

)

I'm just going to assume that I got a faulty Cyclo. Thanks for your help, everyone.
