thanks for answer
Fat 12 is a very, very old standard (<dos3.3), you want to format it to fat 16. Fat 12 will only support up to 32mb and I don't think the gp32 supports it.renejr902 said:How can i format the smc with fat12. i have a card reader.
Maybe fgb32 dont work because my card is in fat16
but all others emu and games work perfectly.
Wouldn't an allocation unit of 2048 be possible with a 128mb card (2048x65536=134217728)/1024=131072/1024=128meg (computer meg as in 1024x1024, not disk meg 1000x1000 so a 128mb disk is actually smaller in computer numbers).Squidge said:The GP32 supports FAT12 upto 32MB and FAT16 upto 128MB
To format your card for the GP32, buy a card reader and ask Windows to format the device as FAT, or open a command prompt and format using:
FORMAT x: /FS:FAT /A:4096 [for a 128MB card]
FORMAT x: /FS:FAT /A:2048 [for a 64MB card]
That's kind of what I was alluding to, since the computer doesn't recognize a mb as a mb. It's been a long time since my data recovery class but I couldn't remember how many allocation units were set aside for the root directory and the file allocation table.Squidge said:If it was 128MB, no, as there is no such thing as a FAT16 volume that has more than 65,524 clusters.
However, if it was 122MB (the realistic size as storage manufacturers are con-artists), then yes, as the number of clusters would be 62500.
