**Note:** It is advised to use ROM files in the Big Endian (default, also called "non-byteswapped") format. Although the menu auto-converts byteswapped ROM files, the load time will increase.
**Note:** On macOS, if you have extracted ROM's from ZIP or other compressed files, run `dot_clean -m /Volumes/SummerCart` to clear those awful dotfiles. That way, they will not show up in the menu.
#### Preparations for SC64
- FAT32 and EXFAT are fully supported.
- An SD formatted with 128 kiB cluster size is recommended.

### ROM hack (insert hack name here) does not work
- Most ROM hacks rely on an Expansion Pak, or might be only compatible with emulators.
- Some (very old) hacks override the CIC or save type that is expected from the internal N64FlashcartMenu database. (for more information on how to change the expected types, [read here](./12_rom_configuration.md)).
### My Roms are all in individual ZIP files and it is hassle to extract them before adding them to the SD card
You can try running a powershell script to extract them before adding them to the SD card:
```
$exts = @("*.n64", "*.z64", "*.v64"); Get-ChildItem -Filter "*.zip" | ForEach-Object { Expand-Archive $_.FullName -DestinationPath "$($_.BaseName)_temp" -Force; Get-ChildItem "$($_.BaseName)_temp\*" -File -Include $exts | Move-Item -Destination .; Remove-Item "$($_.BaseName)_temp" -Recurse -Force }
```
### I am using macOS and want to clean unwanted files before adding them to the SD card
On macOS, if you have extracted ROM's from ZIP or other compressed files, run `dot_clean -m /Volumes/SummerCart` to clear those awful dotfiles.
