Emax

Hey there,

I'm trying to get an HXC working with my Emax with limited success. I'm able to load banks, but they are incomplete. Example" Bank z_854 has only presets 1-10 and 99. All banks are like this with large portions missing in the middle.

I believe my disk creation procedure is correct:

- Emaxos.emx in folder with .em1 files. (My Emax has the SE stickers on it, but I have tried the regular emaxos as well as the SE version just in case)

- Batch convert to fat32 formatted drive.

- Created and saved config file with auto boot and force load a, emu shugart.

On the sd now are the .hfe converted banks and HXCSDFE.CFG

I've tried with a Kingston 32gb and Nexxtech 16gb both class 10 and no change in behavior. I have ordered a Sandisk class 10 which are confirmed to work and which is arriving next week.

I purchased my Emax with no disks and installed the HXC without ever checking it with a disk... Is this sort of error something that could be a problem with the Emax itself?

Anyone else experience this?/Have any tips?/Even just a bit of encouragement would be great as I'm feeling pretty discouraged right now :)

Thanks

I believe most of the disks had a limited number of presets. Some of the update disks had all 99 presets, but they were primarily very short like hits. A web search of "Emu Emax disk ZD*** may give a list of presets for some of the disks in question

Maybe a stupid workflow suggestion,
1) Try convert/wrap of the files to an internal disk file path NTFS partition not directly to an external FAT32 partition -First-
2) Reformat the SD card fresh FAT32
3) Copy .hfe to FAT32 SD card from NTFS HDD
