I have Pocket ScummVM and Pocket UAE on an SD (not SDHC) card, and up until two days ago they both ran fine, yesterday i upgraded my radio stack and now whenever i run either of these apps they stick in the loading state and i have to soft reset to terminate them. I can still run Sim City 2000 from the SD card so i'm wandering if it's some kind of transfer bottleneck/issue.

radio: latest (1.18)
rom: latest tomal WM 6.1

will try copying everything off the card, reformatting and copying it back, see if that helps :-)

seems to be general issues, last night adobe flash claimed to be out of memory, when there should be plenty, so i'm wandering if it's a RAM issue and nothing to so with the SD card or apps specifically. The Tomal rom includes a flash disk which s taking up 16mb can i turn that off somehow?

cycloid, the flash disk doesn't take up 16mb.
please read wiki Memory and Storage Types (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MemoryStorageTypes)
so many people seem to make this same mistake
either the cook is very nice and gives you a flash disk, or you don't have one, and that memory is lost to you completely

thanks for pointing me at that info, ramdisk is actually quite cunning then!. I still suspect i have a ram or general memory marshalling issue, hmm..

fixed kinda. I had the 9.6 tomal rom, put 8.81 on it and all is good.
