8gb, fat32 just formatted it before copying the files.

How odd. I’ve just downloaded the menu again and put it on my SD card (16Gb in this case but 8Gb is what I recommend and sell in our shop), and it loads up no problems. Do you have the CONFIG.BIN file on the card as well? If that’s there, the only thing I can think of is that the SD card is not compatible. What brand is the card?

Sandisk, i also tried with a 16gb PNY card originally.

Very odd, the config.bin is on the card, it works with the OG menu fine. It’s a Lynx 2 with the Benn Venn LCD if that makes a difference….

Shouldn’t make any difference, I use mine with a BennVenn screen too. Would you be able to email some photos or a video of what’s going on so I can see it? Email is support@k-retro.com

Sure, will do when I’m done with work.

Ok, this is odd - I had originally copied this from my Windows machine to the SD card, I just did it from my Mac with the exact same file and it's now working... No idea why, I didn't reformat the card or anything. Thanks so much for the quick responses, I appreciate iot.

Ah it could be the case sensitivity with the file system, I’ve seen issues where the file was called BOOT.bin vs BOOT.BIN. Glad it’s working now!

Yeah, that might be, I swear I checked that but definitely plausible.
