Ok , I know theres been a lot of problems with memobry cards for the gp2x. Ivew seen lots of em get resolved, so hopefully someone can help.

~ It is a 4GB Sandisc SD MEmory Card
~ I made it FAT32 with a Card Reader that is compatiple with a 4GB memory card (it said 3.77GB)
~ I have formatted it about 20 times , and it is yet to pick up anything on it.

any help would be gretly appreciated. I am even willing to pay $5 via Paypal for anyone who can fully resolve my issue. Thanx.

Is your PC not reading the card after you format, or just the '2X?
What FW are you running?
Did it ever work?

Just the 2X. The PC reads it fine.
The FM for the GP2x is the newest ver.
it never worked.

Then send it back. (just don't tell them it's for a handheld video game system, say that it's for a camera)

*Windows Key*+R (or start menu, Run..)

type in cmd in the prompt

type in this in the black window that comes up (remember to replace the letter of the drive with your SD card):

format [letter of SD card drive]: /FS:FAT32

did it , still dosent work.

It said it identified 3975MB , so i know its identifying the card as 4GB. I put an MP3 , and a JPEG on it and the card didnt read it through the GP2X

It's possible you landed a fake. I have a 2GB one that works fine on the PC but the GP2x wants nothing to do with it. Call the Sandisk support number and have them verify the serial number on the back of the card.

If you want a quick test that this is true, try filling it up near full, disconnecting and reconnecting it, and copying it back somewhere.

I have recently bought (I think) the same 4 gb scandisk card on ebay, I can format it but sometimes I can put a couple of files on it and
sometimes not.

GP2X doesn't recognize the card, I have informed the seller he send me a second 1 (fully tested acoording to him), same problem. I am happy with I have my money back

HAVE YOUR CARD ON THE LEFT UPPER CORNER on the sticker A fold (in dutch ezeloor)?
