When an unrecoverable error occurs a message will be displayed on the LED, LCD, or OLED screen.

Fnn / *FAT*nn* / *FATFS* nn

A 2-digit error code defined by the FatFS library.

In HxC Compatibility mode this probably means you have stale slot assignments in HXCSDFE.CFG. You should copy a fresh version of HXCSDFE.CFG to your USB stick and reassign slots using the Autoboot file selector.

In other cases this error usually indicates bad physical media or a bad filesystem. Try formatting or replacing your USB drive.

Enn / *ERR*nn* / *ERROR* nn

A 2-digit error code defined by the FlashFloppy firmware:

  • 30 Disk Full: Some writes were lost. Delete some files or use a larger USB drive.
  • 31 Bad Image File: The selected image is invalid or unsupported.
  • 32 Bad HXCSDFE.CFG: The config file is invalid or unsupported. Copy a fresh version to the USB drive.
  • 33 Bad IMAGE_A.CFG: The last-image file has become corrupted. Delete it from the USB drive and it will be automatically recreated.
  • 34 No entries to navigate:
    • Direct Navigation mode found no valid directories or image files to display. Add some valid image files to the USB drive. Subfolders are accessible only when using an LCD/OLED display.
    • Indexed mode found no valid DSKA*.* image names. Add some valid image files to the USB drive.
  • 35 Path too deep: Folders are nested too deeply to navigate.
