On an early version of this, the game cartridges were split up into serveral menus (alphabetical) and they loaded much faster. As it is now, it takes a really long time to load that menu. Is there a way to easily split this back out?

I second that. It's a bit annoying waiting for the games menu to load. But maybe it adds to the retro feeling :mrgreen:

Sorry guys. I did not pay much attention on that because I have jiffy installed. I plan to restructure the collection at some point.

Until then, enjoy the new items just added.

Just updated my FE3 firmware because FE3 collection disk loader show directory as mess. R021 -> R0.28

After firmware update disk loader shows everything ok. But now cart loader shows nothing.

I understand that I need separate update for SD2IEC.

Do I just unzip current binaries zip to root of sd card or how I update it? There’s many files inside.

https://sd2iec.de/

Or why cart loader shows empty after update?

I start to understand.. File browser FB20-8k I had was at flash memory started by cart loader.. But how I get FB20-8k back to flash so I can load my own files from directory’s I created root of sd card…

It would be nice if this file browser was included to software collection.

After updated firmware. It clear all flash memory and now I can’t load my own files anymore.

This is actually a very nice idea. I'll add it for the next release.
