I've got a nice memory stick, but when I select a rom from my GW menu, it takes legit 20-30 seconds to change to that game, from the white icon...


Uh. What do I do...?

Have you tried to format the mSD card and then put back the roms?

Just formatted. Same. Fucking. Issue. What the hell? I selected Animal Crossing, and it's been (not exaggerating. As I type this) 4 minutes, and it still hasn't loaded yet after selecting it from the rom menu. I have no idea what to do and I'm worried as hell.

Help...?

what brand is your nice memory stick ? where did you buy it from as it could be fake & if it's from ebay then there is big chance it could be fake. i use 64gb Sandisk Ultra & never had a single issue from it for a year. excellent card.

Are you sure you don't need to just select the rom again? Sometimes I have to select a rom twice on my gateway from the rom menu for it to load up.

SD card could be going bad. I just bought a 32gb UHS-1 sandisk and it booted Bravely default, a 4gb game, in just 5 seconds.

Get SDformatter, do a full erase (writes 0s to the SD card). This was a solution to the gateway not even working with the last SD I had in it. Could help you too.

That seemed to work, but I'll keep you all updated if anything changes. Thank you!

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Will you give me mouth to mouth oxygen if my throat closes?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Nah the air can do that
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Ask @x65943 he's trained for that stuff
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Kissing random dudes choking in celery? Really? Need to study for that?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Yes it requires a degree
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I could also yank out the rest of my teeth but theirs professionals for that
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    If I die, tell my momma I won't be carrying Baby Jesus this christmas :sad::cry:

    Sweet found my Wii u PSU right after I ordered a new one :tpi:
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It literally turns it on.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Yeah power supplies are filthy perverts
