[Solved]Bootloader won't go into game selection

[ajsb113]

So I was in computer science testing my code for my game, and after working the first part of class, I plugged in the sd card, turned my gamebuino on, and the loader came up with the animation just fine, except when I hit the A button the screen freezes. Pushing B and C work fine, it's just A that makes it freeze. Pushing C to flash the loader again doesn't fix it, and neither does holding C when turning it on. If anyone knows how to fix this I would really appreciate it

The program which displays the file list is LOADER.HEX (aka the loader), which is different from the bootloader.
Did you try loading the "loader" program via USB? Or try another micro SD card?

[ajsb113]

I'll try loading it through USB, hopefully that works! If not I'll try and find a new SD card. I'll get back with the results later. Thanks for the help!

So I tried loading the loader.hex straight to my gamebuino, and now it hangs saying "Reading SD card... ". Does that mean the SD card is the problem?

[rodot]

Yep, could you try another micro SD card? It's explained how to format it in the Troubleshooting page of the wiki.

[ajsb113]

Alright, I'll see if that works. Crossing my fingers!

So after trying to load the LOADER.HEX and other things on my SD card through my gamebuino, I tried holding C when turning it on like I had many times before and it magically worked! Now the only thing wrong is that the loader automatically goes to the list screen without me pressing A. I see the title screen for the loader but only for an instant. Then it says "Reading SD card" like before, but actually loads the list. I can live with this, but is there any way to fix it? Thanks for all of the help by the way!

Cool, i'm glad that you fixed it!
It's normal that the loader quickly skips the menu to show the file list, it's because people would press "C" in the main menu of the loader and re-flash the loader from the loader.
