DS Flash Equipment > "minisd" in the Supercard menu - wtf is that?!

#83826 - cubeikon - Thu May 18, 2006 8:49 pm

Hey guys,

I just got my Supercard miniSD, and theres that application listed in the Supercard menu which is calles "minisd".....if I start it the GBA Bootup-sequence comes up, and the top screen turns yellow after that.......thats about it........

I was just wondering what in the world that is, and how to remove it from the menu?! I checked my miniSD card in windows for any hidden folders or something, but theres nothing...

help would be appreciated
bye guys

Just "minisd"? Not minisd.bin? I don't have a SC miniSD, so I don't know if it's normal or not, but did you try reformatting your card?

right!!

Well, I actually never reformatted my card again, but I might give it a try...................but I don't think thats gonna help anything, since theres no (hidden) files on the memorystick I found.....

On FAT formatted file systems, there are no really hidden files... the "hidden" flag is just a little protection against n00bs, most programs don't really give an f*** (except for an option not to display these files or a warning on deletion). However, it could be that the filesystem is corrupted and the SC misinterprets something. Thus, reformatting.

well, I tried it. Before putting my stuff back on the minisd-card I inserted it into the supercard, and "minisd" was still there in the menu....

I just don't get what that is.....does anybody else have a Supercard miniSD + Sandisk 1GB miniSD card here?!

bye cube
