When ever I try to transfer alot of roms 1000+ over to an SD card the data looks fine but when I turn on my GP2X to read the data all of the Icons become corrupt and unusible has this happened to anyone else???

I can't figure out what is wrong. :unsure:

Possibilities:
0) Are you using the GP2X as the card reader via USB?
Yes - Go spend $4 on a card reader. Trust me.
No - Go to Step 1

1) GP2X can't read the card: try opening the roms again on the PC. Can the pc read them?
Yes- Go to Step 3
No - Go To Step 2

2) Card filesystem or card reader can't handle the throughput: transfer a smaller block of data. Does it work?
Yes - If possible, try another card reader. If not, add another smaller block. Repeat until done or card craps itself.
No - Go To step 3

3) Is Card formatted to FAT or FAT32?
No - Format Card. Go to step 1
Yes - Either card reader or card is b0rked.


This information is warranted for exactly as much as you paid for it.
