G6flash Maintenance

Maintenance:

If “Parameter fail” message is displayed on the screen of console. It’s most probably that the format of G6 U-DISK is damaged. It needs repair by our maintenance tools. (Low-level format tools)

Steps:

1. Insert G6 U-DISK Burner with G6flash3 into USB port of PC. (Usually, the blue LED will lit up.)

2. Format the G6 U-DISK by using FAT(16) format. (Don’t put any file into G6 U-DISK after doing this step.)

3. Run “MPutility.exe” by clicking its icon.

4. Click OK (and don’t alter the setting.) A new window will come up later.

5. Click OK to start. It takes around 5 minutes to format a 2Gbit flashcard, please wait until it finished. A massage will come out to indicate that the processing is successfully completed. 

6. Copy “EMU” and “PDA” directories from installation disk to G6 U-DISK. (To enable PDA and emulator games function.)

7. Add games by using G6 U-DISK MANAGER application. (It will create "GBA" and "NDS" directories for storing games and its save data.)

8. Put G6 flashcard into console and test it.

Procedure of storing game save data into backup game save file:

-  Press "Select" button after selecting a game, the "Backup" window will come out.

-  Select one of the backup game save file which you wish to write data in.

Note:

Normally, games need to use some memory space to store some parameters (game save data) for recording the status, score, money, level etc… These data will keep for long even power off the consoles. Thus, these data usually are stored in the memory of the card or cart. For G6flash, the data is stored in the SRAM inside the flashcard. Our SMS (Save Management System) will automatically copy the SRAM data into the “Default Saver” file every time booting up GBA/NDS console. Hence, the previous game save data will be permanently stored into flash memory every time booting up the console. Usually, users only need to select loading the “Default” game save file. The game save data will be continuously to keep. Users may also has an option to copy the data of “Default ” into one of the “Backup Saver” by pressing the “Select” button after entering into NDS GAME loader. It’s very useful for making backup of the game save data or swapping other users to play the same game.
