    The firmware doesn't depend on the MicroSD size. The same one that works on the 4GB MicroSD should work on an 8GB, etc.

    What issues are you having? Some games not showing up? It won't recognize that MicroSD but will recognize others?

    It sounds like you might have some corrupted files on your MicroSD (the unknown directories, weird named items, etc).
    Backup what files you can (copy them to your computer) and format your MicroSD. Then copy the files back onto your MicroSD.

    There is also a limit to the number of games that can be displayed in a single directory (folders). To help solve this, just make a couple different folders, and split the games into them. A simple way is by Genre (Puzzle Games, RPGs, Fighting games, Adventure games, etc.)

    The 8gb have been formatted 2 times just in cased for corrupted.... but the same.

    I will try your advise, group them in like game 1, game 2 ... folders and also how big can each dir can handle which firmware you recommend that I can use YSmenu as well?

    Thanks

    I'm not sure if the R4 SDHC can use the Ysmenu. You can try (worst that can happen is it won't work and you'll have to put the real R4 SDHC firmware on it.

    I have not used any of the R4 cards, so I haven't done it personally, but this topic should show you how.

    I followed this and got it worked but only 45 games showed instead of 120 games, if I split them in folder how are they be placed? Like in the game folder or in the directory name game 1, game 2 ....

    thanks
