Initial Setup of an SD Card</h2>
<h3><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md34"></a>
First steps</h3>
<p>Insert the (Micro) SD card to your PC and ensure it is properly formatted to be compatible with your flashcart.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md35"></a>
Preparations for SC64</h4>
<dl class="section remark"><dt>Remarks</dt><dd>Most (Micro) SD cards are factory formatted to FAT32 or EXFAT and don't require re-formatting.</dd></dl>
<ul>
<li>Download the latest <code>sc64menu.n64</code> file from the <a href="https://github.com/Polprzewodnikowy/N64FlashcartMenu/releases/">releases</a> page, then put it in the root directory of your Micro SD card.</li>
<li>Place your ROM files on the Micro SD card, <b>in any folder except the root directory <code>menu</code> folder</b>.</li>
<li>Remove the Micro SD Card from your computer and insert it into the SC64.</li>
</ul>
<h4><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md36"></a>
Preparations for OTHER supported flashcarts</h4>
<ul>
<li>It is recommended to format the SD Card to FAT32 with the default cluster size.</li>
<li>Download the latest <a href="https://github.com/Polprzewodnikowy/N64FlashcartMenu/releases/">menu</a> file specific for your flashcart and place it in the expected location.</li>
<li>Remove the Micro SD Card from your computer and insert it into the flashcart.</li>
</ul>
<h3><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md37"></a>
Advanced Steps</h3>
<p>Advanced steps are optional, which adds additional capabilities.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md38"></a>
Add Emulator support</h4>
<p>See the <a class="el" href="md_docs_218__emulators.html">Emulators</a> page.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md39"></a>
Add 64DD Disk support</h4>
<p>See the <a class="el" href="md_docs_217__64dd.html">64DD</a> page.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md40"></a>
So what could the layout of the SD card look like?</h3>

Save Files</h2>
<p>All save files (whether <code>FlashRam</code>, <code>SRAM</code> or <code>EEPROM</code>) will be read from a <code>/saves</code> folder located <b>in the same directory as the ROM</b> and they must share the same file name, but use the <code>.sav</code> extension. <code>.sav</code> files will be created and modified whenever a ROM file saves to the "cartridge save memory".</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line">├── (some folder with ROMs)\</div>
<div class="line"> ├── a_rom.z64</div>
<div class="line"> ├── b_rom_whatever.n64</div>
<div class="line"> └── saves\</div>
<div class="line"> ├── a_rom.sav</div>
<div class="line"> └── b_rom_whatever.sav</div>
</div><!-- fragment --><h3><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md42"></a>
Transferring saves from an ED64</h3>
<p>If you are transferring a file from a different flashcart, such as the ED64, you must change the file extension to <code>sav</code>. For example, a save file called <code>Glover (USA).eep</code> should have its extension changed to <code>Glover (USA).sav</code> to work with N64FlashcartMenu.</p>
<p>You may also need to pad/trim the files to their original size:</p><ul>
<li>For EEPROM 4Kbit games, remove the padding.</li>
<li>For others, use a tool such as <a href="https://github.com/Ninjiteu/N64SaveConverter">Ninjiteu's N64SaveConverter</a>.</li>
</ul>
<dl class="section attention"><dt>Attention</dt><dd>Saves created with certain emulator versions, or created for a different ROM version (as in revisions of the same game), or region (as in between NTSC and PAL versions of a same game) may be incompatible. </dd></dl>
