Programs Don't Work On My Gp2x

[rydore]

I just upgraded gp32 to gp2x for x-mas.
I've been having an issue with many programs where as soon as I launch them, it shoots me back to GP2x main menu. Even the pre-loaded software like payback demo... as soon as I hit a button, I get launched back to main menu. I've tried a few emulators and some work and some do the same thing..... Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to setup my folders a certain way? Any help would be appreciated.

Batteries fully charged?

yes to battery question.
I'm doing some research now and find many people have same issue as me where you load a program and you get a wuick black screen then it just loads back to main menu.
May have something to do with the way I have my foles structured on SD card.
I will have to re-read all the read me files.... I just though it was odd that even the preloaded games did the same thing.

When I was using games on my NAND, I found that a bunch of them acted like this.
Turns out a bunch of the sectors in my NAND were dead, and they weren't discovered by the hardware until I copied those games over. After deleting the games and re-copying them over, they worked fine. (Maybe just try deleting them from your SD card and copying them over again?)

I'll throw in my 2 cents as a newby.

Your SD card folders might be corrupted, you could try reformatting your SD card then reloading them on it, but I wouldn't suggest doing that, since there might be another easier solution.
