    Wiz Arbitrarily Recognizing Sd Card

    I've done that dozens of times. I guess I'll RMA it again. I'll see if ThinkGeek will let me wait until after the holidays to send it in though as I really wanted to enjoy this over Christmas and New Years and I can still play games from the NAND.

    Wiz Arbitrarily Recognizing Sd Card

    I have rebooted it several times, with and without the SD card in it. If it's not a hardware failure, maybe the bootloader (or whatever it is that flashes the firmware) can still read the SD card.

    Wiz Arbitrarily Recognizing Sd Card

    Now I can't get it to read ANY SD card at all. When I go to launcher the SD card registers as empty. Anything else that uses the SD card (like recorder) says there is no SD card. Can this be fixed by re flashing the firmware or do I have to send this back again?

    Wiz Arbitrarily Recognizing Sd Card

    My Wiz is arbitrarily recognizing my SD card. Is there a known fix for this? I've already had to RMA it once because of a defective screen.

    1080P/720P Video Capabilities

    The wiz only supports video at 640x480 at 30 fps. I don't see why you would want HD video as the screen is only 320x240 and if there is going to be video out it will only be composite out for standard definition tv's.

    Can't Delete From Nand?

    Nevermind. It started working again. That was weird.

    Can't Delete From Nand?

    When I mount the NAND on my computer I can't delete files that I put on there. I get an error "Can't read from source file or disk". I am able to view files just fine, I just can't modify them.

    New To The Wiz

    If there is any other SNES emulator other than PocketSNES, it isn't worth mentioning.

    No Fungp .. No Shocker There

    Isn't the new console next year just a refresh of the wiz? I was under the impression that it was going to be a wiz with a bigger screen, which wouldn't surprise me. All the other major handheld manufacturers refresh every year (NDS, PSP, iPhone, iPod) and nobody cares, so why get upset when GPH...

    Another "wiz Vs ........" Thread

    The iPod Touch is amazing for alot of reasons. Classic games isn't one of them. There are lots of emulators that run at excellent speeds for the device, but without physical buttons it's near impossible to play games that rely on reflexes and accuracy, like Mario or Street Fighter. On my iPod...

    Rate Of Wiz Defectiveness?

    My entire screen was covered in some static pixel noise. Solid colors would not appear solid. My guess is it was some screen burn from the screen being left on some garbled image. Fortunately I was able to RMA it for free through ThinkGeek. Still waiting on replacement. ThinkGeek rocks!

    Wiz Screen Burn - Has Anyone Had This Also?

    My Wiz came last week with some screen burn in out of the box. I've filed an RMA with ThinkGeek and they're more than happy to replace it for free. I guess the only down side is I have to live without my Wiz for a while :-(

    This Is A Formal Apology

    I heard the guys at Sony eat babies for breakfast.

    Does The Wiz Still Have Screen Tearing, And If So, Where?

    The tearing is still awful in Doom, Rise of the Triad and Wolfenstein 3D. Someone should really fix those games. As for emulators it's either minimal or non existent. PicoDrive and gpsp have complete fixes with no tearing whatsoever.

    Mame4All Files Missing In Some Games

    More specifically, the error appears to be a list of the roms that should be in the .zip file but aren't. I've downloaded the pac-man (midway) package from several locations. All containing the same roms pacman.6e pacman.6f pacman.6h pacman.6j The files the error as not found are...

    Mame4All Files Missing In Some Games

    Sorry but that was no help. I downloaded a pack of "all BIOS used by MAME" from a certain emu website and I still get the error with pac-man and marble madness

    Mame4All Files Missing In Some Games

    I've tried a dozen pac-man and marble madness romsets that have failed to work. Either they come up with a "required files are missing" error or simply don't show up in the list. I know there are lots of games that don't work with mame on the wiz but I know for a fact that marble madness does...
