Still Fresh
I use Slubman's FW and noticed files that I had supposedly deleted were still showing up in the application menu. As a precautionary measure, I used the format option and reformatted the card using full format. Upon completion, it listed that there was 1 bad block. I thought my card was going bad, so I ordered several via Banana PC.
When these arrived, I went ahead and formatted them in my GP32. A couple had 3 bad blocks, 1 had 4, and 1 had 5. Is this that common? I can format these just fine on my PC using XP with no bad blocks at all. As I test I tried formatting the same cards several times, and they returned the same number of bad blocks.
Is the GP32's flash reader/writer more sensitive and I have crappy SMC's, or is something wrong with my GP32?
