Re: Tony and his vanishing drive partitions.
When I try to explain stuff to people, they look more and more vacant the more I say
Then theres is the "don't do this or that" where they seem to listen and understand, and first thing they do is do exactly what you told them not to do.

Re: Tony and his vanishing drive partitions.
I think I might have done that when I ruined a set of TOS 1.04 ROMs.
Kinda just proved my ignorance screwing up the quotes again. ed. note: fixed

Re: Tony and his vanishing drive partitions.
I am. I've made an image of all my SDs. My game one has 14 partitions nearly full, so imaging that is a great help!
Thanks to everyone who helped!

Re: Tony and his vanishing drive partitions.
No problem, all I'd say though is that if you change the card regularly i.e. add/remove software etc then remember to back up regularly and make sure you can distinguish one backup from another.Cosmic Puppet wrote: ↑Mon Jun 20, 2022 11:09 pmI am.
