      Hi
      I'm using Sandisk ultra 64gb sd card , I've added roms thru USB flash drive and over wifi , the problem is getting past 10gb of roms and I've tried it 4 of these cards is after I've added 10gb of roms no more seem to work after that , the title shows up in consoles but when I click on a rom the screen goes back and then returns to the list of roms , for example the last ones I added was gba The first 400 work then everyone after that they dont , but every system I did before that all work , nes , snes , Atari , master system, fba, gb, gbc, sega32x, and lynx ,

      I can't understand how I can only add 10gb of roms on a 64gb card

      PleAse help , many thanks in advance

          Incorrect roms ?

            Thanks for the reply , I'm thinking it could be fake sd cards. They was showing 64gb before I started ... I've remembered the first card I did was from a different shop and i had a full set of all roms , they all worked and even scraped them all , I've just found a 128gb generic sd card I'll see how I get on with this ,

            I've also tried this in a raspberry pi 2 and 3 so surely it must be the sd cards
