I wonder somehow if my PowerPak is less reliable in this area, as it was in the first batch sold.

do not use lexar compact flash cards. sandisk and the ones given from retrousb are the best cards to use.
formatted fat32 allocation units 4096. highest i've gone is 4GB in size

It my sound ridiculous but i have major problems with using compact flash cards under windows vista and 7. I feel like a broken record on the board because thats all i talk about. from what i had learned about the powerpak is that they are very picky about ROMs when it comes to loading the game. its either bad headers or wrong mapper assigned to the rom. it took me a few weeks to figure it out slowly chipping away at it trying different ROMs checking the card for errors ect.
