EZ-Flash junior file name duplicates and file ordering

[dreadnought200]

Hi, my ez-flash jr displays duplicates of every file I put onto it, the original file and then a second file that isn't executable and begins with "._". E.G. I put on "1942 (USA).gbc", which is all my computer sees in the folder, and the GameBoy Colour displays that file and "._1942 (USA).gbc".

Also, the files aren't ordered alphabetically on the cartridge. E.G. my computer shows a list of folders a-z with a at the top and z at the bottom but when I put in onto the EZ-Flash Jr they are randomly arranged.

Does anyone know of any fixes to these problems?

Thanks in advance.

I've solved the problem with the files not being ordered correctly, I just had to reformat the sd card using a windows pc. Now it groups the ._ files at the top of the folder rather than after every single file which is better but is still does display them.

Those are metadata files created by mac OS. If you don't want them to appear, don't use a Mac.

Install CleanMyDrive 2 on your Mac, and use it to clean & eject the SD card whenever you finish using it on the Mac, this will get rid of those files. There are other tools to do the same thing but this one works well for me.
