Main Mac Os X Problems Solved

Well,

My 256MB is fine despite what the Get Info said. Thanks for the formatting information.

You did not happen to try to formate it the way carlgeorge said, did you? Just wondering if that screwed up your card or you have a bad card. Don't want to break mine you know.

OK! Ive tried all of the above things to get my 512mb SD card to work on OSX and NOTHING WORKS! The only thing left to try is using a PC which is going to be very difficult for me!
'Get info' just shows the card format as 'Macintosh PC Exchange (MS-Dos)'. Theres nothing to suggest this is formatted to FAT32.

any suggestions??

PS - Also i hear a lot of people talking about 'Root Directories' and such on the SD card but when i open mine up from the desktop it is blank. Does OSX not show all files?

His method worked great with my MMC card, my SD was faulty and bricked my gp2x, it has been sent back to fuji film

Um... If I already have V2 of the firmware on the GP2x (getting the MkII next week) - do I have to format my 2gb Sandisk card to FAT32 in order to use files from it on the GP2x? I've read the machine will work with FAT16 just fine and that it's only for firmware that you have to make it FAT32?

As far as I know you need FAT32 for updating firmware, and can use 16 for files.

no, thats still fat 16, i made that mistake.
Edit: read it all, and to be honest im not 100% but it seems to be 16 still

I simply used Virtual PC to format. It gives me both options.

How you you write .gpe scripts on a mac?

I REALLY need to know, this is driving me insane.

d ) check the partitions by typing: ls /dev/rdisk2*

e ) in this case I only have 1 partition, so now open Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities/) highlight the disk and select File > Unmount Volume

Mine shows two partitions:

[Tonys-Power-Mac:~] tony% ls /dev/rdisk2*
/dev/rdisk2	 /dev/rdisk2s1   /dev/rdisk2s2

That's a brand new 512 MB card I got this morning at Wal-Mart, so I haven't been messing with it.
