Hello,

So the Retromax 2 I got from Circut Gizmos came in a couple days ago, and today I bought an SD card for it.

I just have a question, to use the SD card, is there any special setup required, or is it as simple as just copy files to the SD card, and that's that?

  Quote  Full support for SD cards including editing and running programs on the SD card as well as opening
files for reading, writing or random access. Cards up to 128GB formatted in FAT16, FAT32 or exFAT
are supported and the files can also be read and written on personal computers running Windows, Linux
or the Mac operating system. A graphical file manager is included in MMBasic.

I'm not sure, but I think FAT/FAT32 is faster than exFAT in CMM2...
