I have a similar problem with my San Disk 256gb SC card (not micro - definitely an official card). Formatted it to FAT32, loaded games on but my GDemu clone won't recognise it so I'm back to using a 32gb card. Very frustrating.

do you still have the 256 gig card dave? if so give this a try use the madsheep sd card maker program you can find it here if you dont already have it https://www.reddit.com/r/dreamcast/comm ... _madsheep/

anyhow download and install rufus then format the sd card to fat 32 with 32k cluster size then use the sd card maker program to load only 9 games the 10th game will be the gdmenu program once thats done load the sd card and try to see if the games boot, if they boot then put the sd card back in the pc and load one more game at a time till you get to the point where it refuses to load games then you will know how many games your gdemu can tolerate

Did some research. Official documentation says SDXC cards are not supported, use SDHC cards. https://gdemu.wordpress.com/details/

The legendary ateam says from a reddit post:

"This SanDisk is often considered the “gold standard” by many. I can say that it has never failed me or the people I have recommended it to, whether it be an authentic GDEMU or a clone."
