Firecard (FCard, F-card) compatibility Issues?

I have received a few of these and found them to be very good.

Whilst loading games for my children I have encountered possible compatibility with a handful of games, getting the error messaege:-

"Could not read the data. Turn off the power and reinsert game card"

The games affected so far are:-

1879 Clue - Mouse Trap
1785 Alvin and the Chipmunks
1596 Disney Princess
Showtime Championship Boxing

I have deleted them and readded them but still no luck. The roms work on my DSTT.

Its only some minor games at the moment but that 'must have' game might be affected in the future... so worth noting.

anyone got any idea's? thanks!

Either you just happen to have a very similar post to this person, or you don't bother replying to/reading your own threads?

So I'll repeat what I said in that thread, have you tried changing the save type?

EDIT: Just tried the Alvin and the Chipmunks game and it works perfectly after choosing the savetype eeprom 4kbit.

 

ooohh right,,,,,, yes that is me...many thanks

Not seen you reply over at Dealextreme..checked earlier today.

WOW,,,the save game setting can affect the way a game starts up... suppose it makes sense when u think about

will give it a try
