yell0w_lantern Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) My new Final GROM arrived today but no matter what I do, the finalgrom option never appears for selection. I've tried a 16gb and a 4gb sandisk. I've tried single files on the disks. The LED never stops blinking about once per second. I even let it sit for 30 minutes and came back to the same thing and when I pressed a key, the only option was TI basic. Is there a loader or some other file I need in the SD card's root directory?

digdugnate Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Did you push the 'left button' once on the board after you booted up your TI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 i have run into this. Try to find a slower SD card class 4 or slower. All the class 10's i had were just too fast. I agree with Shift838, the slower the better. I also had 'issues' with the larger more expensive SanDisk models, and even a FlashAir I once tried. In the end, the smaller "99 cent wonders" delivered to your door will give you no problems. The only bummer is the THREE WEEK WAIT.

+arcadeshopper Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I have also seen this happen with a drity cart port.. If you have a naverone expander try it in that by itself, or do the cleaning routine: http://www.mainbyte.com/ti99/minimem/cart_fix.htmlbut I have found you have to use the slowest cards i buy cheap ones off amazon that seem tro work well. and sell them on my site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iKarith Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Hm, that's likely to be a problem as slow cards likely won't be produced forever. In fact, I'm pretty sure that at this point any you buy are essentially NOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yell0w_lantern Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 Found a Class 4 and she's running now. Thanks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
