## Updating to the latest Github code
It might be that the current portable release is behind the active development tree and your issue was already solved in the meantime.
To update to the latest Github code you can download and extract the current portable release [VXX.X_Portable.zip](https://github.com/sanni/cartreader/releases) and [the latest development tree](https://github.com/sanni/cartreader/archive/refs/heads/master.zip) and then copy all the *.ino files from cartreader-master.zip\cartreader-master\Cart_Reader\ to VXX.X_Portable\Arduino IDE Portable\portable\sketchbook\Cart_Reader\. Then follow the [update guide](https://github.com/sanni/cartreader/wiki/How-to-flash-the-Arduino#to-upload-the-firmware-to-the-cart-reader-please-follow-these-steps).
If you're on Windows 10 or 11 instead of manually downloading and copying the files you can also use the included UPDATE.bat.
## Black Screen (Mega2560 Pro receives power)
If you just get a black screen after turning the OSCR on but the Mega Pro LEDs do light up indicating it does have power then you can change the output to [Serial Monitor](https://github.com/sanni/cartreader/wiki/Serial-Monitor) to get some additional information.

## Seemingly random lock-ups during operation with an empty screen
This could be a bad Clock Generator, an incompatible SD card or you might have enabled too many modules.
## N64 not dumping correctly
The N64 cartridges need a slot with 2.5mm spacing, sadly ever since the beginning of this project there is a problem with aliexpress sellers sending 2.54mm slot instead. A 2.54mm slot will not work without the 3d printed n64sleeve because the pins will be misaligned.
## N64 eeprom saves not dumping
The eeprom dumping code does currently not work with repro carts and even with original carts it seems to depend on the Clock Generator, some work some don't.
