Hacking Help updating loader from 4.1a -> 4.5

[sketch143]

Hmm.. i've tried countless times to update my loader but it doesn't seem to be working.

I followed the steps in the notepad:
-put both files in G6 root
-press a+b+sel+start on black screen with green text
-Select yes

what happens after is that, a 2 appears on the Yes and the whole thing crashes.... i can still move the cursor... =\

help?

did you unzip them to the root or did you drag and drop after unzipping? sometimes winzip or winrar will unpack it to a new folder and therefor takes the actual files out of the root. make sure that the 2 files are not in a seperate folder on the root.

yeah.. i drag and drop. i don't use the automatic unzip since it takes too much time.

I tried loading GBA both with and without Passcard

same thing happens for loader 4.3 and 4.4

hi there i recognoze this problem i once have it too.
take a backup first of important saves and then use Maintenance utility can be downloaded from g6flash.com and let it reformat the g6 for you to fabric after that is ready you should selcet the unit in windows explorer and format it important select fat not fat32 o ntfsc only fat and dont select fast format eeither it dont take long to format it and after that. pu in al folders you need in the g6 unit and put also newest firmware in root to be on the safe side try download it agian to make sure you you dont have any errors in the files

It needs to be in fat16 to update. You can use fat32 on any other use except updating. So might as well keep it in fat16 to make your life easier.

yes, always format your g6 lite as FAT16
