You can set the SD card to EXFAT format to solve this problem.

  1. Format your SD Card in fat32
  2. Download v0.3 firmware 240118, place all files on SD Card, edit saroocfg.txt to your language
  3. Power on Saturn, choose the item menu "Firm Update", wait around 1 minute, and after the message "Update Finish! Please PowerOn again!", power off saturn

Then try a different card. Using Saroo with an exFAT formatted sd card works 100%. It's verfied by many people (and works fine for me too).

No. You don't need it the test firmware. Just keep it the v0.5 (240515)

Hello everybody! I noticed a new firmware (version 0.6) that fixes cart corruption, which is great! My question is: Do I still need to use exFAT, or is FAT32 fine now? Thank you!
