Title: Mini Classic arcade station sd card problem
Post by: kelvin donna on November 21, 2019, 04:21:09 AM
since i use the mini classic arcade with 2 joystick for a longer time, the sd card slot is not working at all.
i put a sd card in it and it doesn't even show up the "Path error" sign, it just shows a black screen.
and when i open up the unit, it turns out, that the sd card slot is not damaged at all.
is this fixable?

Sure, it might not be damaged, but are you sure that it supports SD cards of your mark? Like Sandisk, etc. Furthermore, does it support the amount of GB your SD card has? Look it up on the net for the hardware specs.

the limit and sd card brand doesn't matter.
even if i put a 2 gb sd card, it doesn't work

i can also give you a video.
i filled all aspects, that should be right:
-MicroSD Card by Medion
-The SD Card has been freshly formatted
-the Nes games are exactly in that "WMGame" Folder
watch it and then you will know the stupid problem.

never give up dude, there will be way somehow..

also on a personal note, my mother wants to get my this for christmas, and so i ask, what are the internal games (the ones not on SD card) like, is it like all Nice Code or something like with a lot of them?
Title: Re: Mini Classic arcade station sd card problem
Post by: kelvin donna on November 22, 2019, 12:45:56 PM
it is a bunch of Nice Code games but in special Variations such as...
-the NC Port of the Intellivision's Slam Dunk Super Pro Basketball
-9 VT03 Games
as well as ONE or TWO Waixing Games (Not gonna tell which ones)

that is fair enough, i've just started preparing to add games to my sd card (here's hoping mine works), i've put on there the super mario bros 1 original, some mario 1 hacks, some kunio games (hot blood), cony's fatal fury 2 and some others. hope it works with mine unlike yours.

also what games did you put in yours, just asking

as it turns out, the way the sd card should work is:
1.Format the SD Card completly.
2.Make a Folder called "WMGame"
3.Put the SD Card into the Unit
4.Start the Gameplay

but here is the Problem. I follow all the Godlines and it does not work anyway.

are you sure you did all them?
Title: Re: Mini Classic arcade station sd card problem
Post by: kelvin donna on November 22, 2019, 01:31:44 PM
yes i did.
you can also watch that video i posted to see that evidence

like i said, you might be better off to get a new one
Title: Re: Mini Classic arcade station sd card problem
Post by: kelvin donna on November 22, 2019, 02:55:17 PM
or maybe resolder the slot.
maybe it is that
Title: Re: Mini Classic arcade station sd card problem
Post by: CAIROCREATOR on November 22, 2019, 03:01:02 PM
maybe you can take it to a repair shop if must be and have them resolder it
Title: Re: Mini Classic arcade station sd card problem
Post by: guyzis on November 22, 2019, 03:14:04 PM
Sorry for the late answer, i was doing something else, like, work. The slot doesn't look damaged. Have you tried cleaning it? Perhaps there's some very small dust particles in it.
Title: Re: Mini Classic arcade station sd card problem
Post by: kelvin donna on November 23, 2019, 05:13:36 AM
i guess this could be a solution.
i don't know what tools i should use for such a small hole  :o
Title: Re: Mini Classic arcade station sd card problem
Post by: guyzis on November 23, 2019, 08:17:56 AM
An even smaller brush than the one you're currently using? I have one of these i'm saying.
Title: Re: Mini Classic arcade station sd card problem
Post by: kelvin donna on November 23, 2019, 03:29:15 PM
but how does it look like?
i need to know a detail
Title: Re: Mini Classic arcade station sd card problem
Post by: guyzis on November 23, 2019, 03:41:59 PM
It's really small, enough to fit in that hole. I'd lend it to you if only Brazil shipping cost was not so expensive.
Title: Re: Mini Classic arcade station sd card problem
Post by: kelvin donna on November 23, 2019, 04:55:13 PM
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
i live in europe and this will not fit to me at all.
and i think the issue itself is the mechanichs itself anyway.

Sorry. Feel free to remove me from your friend list, i'm a bad friend :(

oh hell no!
you are a very good friend anyway.

It's improbable, but possible that it's a software problem, the OS of your machine has been damaged somehow and now must be repaired. That is, like i said it's unlikely, so i recommend first resoldering it like CAIROCREATOR said and see what happens. How old is your machine? Old machines tend to be no longer supported.
Title: Re: Mini Classic arcade station sd card problem
Post by: kelvin donna on November 24, 2019, 01:28:42 PM
i bought this machine january 2018.
Title: Re: Mini Classic arcade station sd card problem
Post by: guyzis on November 24, 2019, 06:59:13 PM
I tried googling it up, none. It's like i said, the older it gets, more unlikely it'll get repaired. Sorry
Title: Re: Mini Classic arcade station sd card problem
Post by: kelvin donna on November 25, 2019, 06:50:08 AM
i think there might be a way to repair it.
hear it from the 8 bit guy:

That should work.
Title: Re: Mini Classic arcade station sd card problem

Does that mean it worked?
Title: Re: Mini Classic arcade station sd card problem
Post by: kelvin donna on November 27, 2019, 05:06:43 AM
i did not tryed it, but i doubt it should work
Title: Re: Mini Classic arcade station sd card problem
Post by: CAIROCREATOR on November 27, 2019, 07:00:05 AM
You could try it, if it doesn't work, you might as well just buy a new one like I said
Title: Re: Mini Classic arcade station sd card problem
Post by: kelvin donna on November 27, 2019, 09:00:45 AM
or if it doesn't work, just never use this thing ever again, except you want to play with your friends.
