davealan74 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Just purchased af9g and a 16gb sandisk sd card. Trying to update but unit wont see SD card. Formatted to fat32 and copy image of 2.1.1.img and renamed to atari_update.img to card. When i boot it acts like it doesn't see it and boots normal. Any ideals welcomed. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autera77 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I am having a similar issue. I updated the firmware and downloaded some games but the sd card option is gray. Did your update go through? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davealan74 Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 No it didn't. I thought maybe it was the sd card or the size was too big? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarifan88 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Try a smaller SD card. I think it will only work with 8MB and smaller. Sandiscs work the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nth Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Im having the same problem, I just got a flashback 9 & it wont recognise any SD cards. I have tried 3 different cards (a 256mb, 2gb & 4gb), each one has the same result, the unit boots up as normal & the SD card menu is greyed out. I have tried formatting the cards (full format , not quick format), followed the update instructions to the letter. I have also formatted with SD's own formatting tool as recommended on here, I have contacted AT games support & they have sent me here. Any help appreciated.

nth Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) I cant update the firmware as its not seeing any SD cards Edited January 22, 2020 by nth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to update the firmware in order to enable the menu option from the UI. The console software is designed to automatically read the SD card for firmware whether or not the menu option is enabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nth Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I have tried to update following the instructions on the website to the letter. Renaming the file etc again tried this with 3 different SD cards as above. It still won’t do anything, when i start the console with the SD card inserted nothing happens, it just boots up as normal.

WAVE 1 GAMES Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I have a flashback 9 gold, I do not see an SD slot anywhere on the console. I have asked about this before, but never got an answer. Where is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
