Lo, I'm Randomdude the owner of the GamesFairy site. I got your mail [to gamesfairy] yesterday or the day before, Shaun, sorry I didn't respond sooner. Damn real life is catching up with me ;) Anyway, I'm not at my usual home right now, I've gone to stay with my parents over the holiday, so I don't have all my stuff availiable to me, or I'd etch a copy of your circuit and see if I could get it working. I've compared it to the plans I have on my machine, and it looks alright.. I'm not totally sure what to suggest. Costis once sent me (a long time ago, pre-sdload) a .dol that would read the ID (CID) of the sdcard inserted-it is really useful for debugging because it doesn't mount a full filesystem. I still have it but I should probably check with him before I send it to anyone. I'm using a SanDisk card, too, so no problems there. Mine is 128 and my brother uses a 512. I think my brother has his about, so I'll interrogate its filesystem later on. I'd like to make some images of known-good sdcards availiable on GamesFairy, I think that would be a good idea. I'll get on it today. Anyway, sorry I couldn't be much help here. :-/ > Date: Sat, 9 Apr 2005 10:39:57 -0700 > From: Shaun Jackman <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Gc-linux-devel] Building a SD card adapter > Reply-To: [email protected] > > Hi Rob, > > The mask [1] I sent you is reversed.
