I tried that with a 4GB storage card putting all Atari 2600 roms. However it is a problem and frustrating because they won't accept this. If this works with a 2GB card, I think it works this way.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION for everyone who has problems reading SD cards. You can see in the video that an SDHC card is used, but some Atari Flashback Portable devices may not read new SD cards labeled "SDHC" or "SDXC". On Ebay you can still get a lot of older SD cards without the designation SDHC or SDXC. Usually they have a size of 32MB up to a maximum of 2GB.
You forgot one VERY important piece of info to your video. Took me a while to figure this out. If your SD card is HC or XC, (which most new ones are) the flashback won’t read it.
That's not quite right. In the video you can see that an SDHC card was used. It has something to do with the firmware update. The problem is that SDHC cards are only read if you have installed a newer firmware. You therefore have to take the detour to install the latest firmware on an older SD card without SDHC, SDXC and then carry out the firmware update from there. With the latest firmware, the device then also reads SDHC/SDXC cards.
What's the maximum games to put on SD card seems 10 games a page x 103 so I'm guessing only a little over a thousand cos the rest I had didn't show up from the letter E onward
ArcadeUSA sorry but another question 😅 Every website I find doesn’t work to download , and If I do its a .zip file, where can I find the games that download as a .BIN file? *:)(:*
you can get a rom pack from Atariage at this link. it already has the files renamed and ready to go. Just unzip it and copy the directory Game directly onto your SD card. atariage.com/forums/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=542615
and thats my 1001 working ROMs pack posted on the AtariAge forums: atariage.com/forums/topic/258970-atari-flashback-portable-faq-and-compatibility-list/
The roms in the link at atari age are not working. I was trying to load it to an SD card that already has working ROMS for the portable. Could that be the issue? Help!
Zip files do not work, need to be .bin files in a directory on the SD card labled Game. First letter of each game needs to be in capital letters example - Spaceinvaders.bin or E.T.bin
Pupy 471 not sure. I’m sure if you could get a file explorer you should put the sd card in and then download a rom and follow what’s on the video. I think that should work.
