Powkiddy X55 troubleshooting

[DjQuick2008]

I got a couple of new SD cards delivered yesterday within half a day the new cards are freezing the console after 1 game and
save states wont process either. My other cards for it are working fine. If no workaround wouldnt mind ebay refund because
im on a short week financially this week. Done reset button and tried my other boot card as well and getting same issues.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

What size are those SD cards? According to Powkiddy the X55 can be expanded up to 256GB so if you bought a bigger card that might be the cause of your problems.

That sounds like a bootleg thing, unfortunately.

Happened to me a lot while playing Dragon Quest IX for the first time (on an emulator). The dupe I was saddled with reliably failed to write the saves, so I would often return to games stuck hours back.

card was great for like the first 3 hours ive got 2 other sets which work fine so the new cards are the problem 100%

the card he sent was 256 was working perfectly on arrival but starting playing about later in the day and is the same today.

It's assembled in China. Buyer beware in this case.

i've gotten fake SD cards from online shopping before where the listed memory is not what it actually has. even checking it on the computer will show the fake storage limit. once you hit the actual storage limit, corruptions and failure start to occur. maybe that's what's happening?

If his cards arent playing ball he can get me a refund the cards werent cheap. To be honest even some of his knowledge isnt that great he never replied when i asked a question about save states and hes not got back to me yet from sunday when i informed him the cards are malfunctioing so can see me getting the refund ill message him again tomorrow to work a solution.
