thx gameblabla
okay here is what I have been doing
1. diskpart - clean SD partition
2. etcher - flash img
image validated and only D: comes up when re inserting - its not recognized by Win 10 and a request pops up to reformat.
Is that the bug you mentioned?
now I understand I need to extend right? Is that via dispart tool again and will then the 3rd partition show up?
tried to find some more info on extending and got this:
To extend a basic volume using a command line
Open a command prompt and type diskpart.
At the DISKPART prompt, type list volume. Make note of the basic volume you want to extend.
At the DISKPART prompt, type select volume <volumenumber>. This selects the basic volume volumenumber that you want to extend into contiguous, empty space on the same disk.
here is the info I obtain in diskpart
DISKPART list volume
Volume 2 FAT32 Partition 500 MB Healthy System
Volume 3 FAT32 Removable 512 MB Healthy
Useless CFW for the Retrostone (1)
Re: Useless CFW for the Retrostone (1)
Could get the E-drive up by running free MiniTool partition and changing the drive letter from * to E
now the drive is up and I have transferred the first gba rom to the FAT 32 partition on E:. Could find it with the GBA emulator, start it but seems to stop with an error.
The error code is quite small is there a log file?
Cheers, Gernot

Re: Useless CFW for the Retrostone (1)
Windows 10 since the Creator's Update should support the mounting of removable media with multiple partitions so it sounds like you're using a release of Windows 10 prior to that.
The trick that you used here also works for Windows 7 but it's still not as ideal.
I hope i can look into adding support for USB sticks because i feel like this can still be an issue. I really hate Microsoft.

Re: Useless CFW for the Retrostone (1)
Many thanks gameblabla for this great work.
Some questions/issues I have (might be me doing something wrong).
I managed to startup your nice CFW and see the emulators and so on. I extended the FAR32 partition and copied several roms from different emulators. When I launch the NES emulator I have to search manually for the nes roms (I think this is normal not?). I found my roms back in the root partition and select one. The emulator flash 1 second and comes back to the list of roms. I have this with all the emulators. So no any game is working for me.
Also when I change the wallpaper and screen timeout settings these settings are not saved.
Am I doing something wrong?
Many thanks and keep on going with your great work

Hi,
Atari Jaguar didn't work. Do I need a Bios? File Extension .jag?
Thank You!

Re: Useless CFW for the Retrostone (1)
Not all games will work (Raiden and the likes). Also only no intro roms will work and yes, use the jag extension.
Now you completely misunderstood me when i said that. I said i was going to make a guide for developers to show them how to compile & generate packages for my CFW, not quite the same.
Also guys, no updates so far. I've worked a bit on redoing PocketSNES 1.43 but it sounds like it's going to take some time before it works lel...

when I understand you correctly thats exactly what I would like to learn - how to make a package of the PS1 emulator for your CFW
