It does read and write the thumb drive but it gives a black screen after loading the rom. Is it because of the floppy emulator (meant for musical keyboard)? Or do I have to get another floppy emulator meant for embroidery in order for it to work? Hi,

Hi
Some of the game’s high capacity 1.44-owners would split the field who guide and ticks

My questions are Can I split a rom up into 2 or 3 parts & put them on 2/3 disks? or Is there another way I can play games over 1.44mb using my Super Wild Card?

I've got a few weeks of work and my hands are tingling but I don't want to fry it ! So could anyone off you tell me what kind of power supply I need for this baby? Hi guys,

Yes it’s an easy fix. Just unplug the FDD and plug the USB to FDD emulator. The emulator have same interface as the FDD. Disk switching is done by two buttons (forward & reverse) on the USB side of the emulator. Search for “3.5″ 1.2MB USB SSD Disk Simulation Floppy Drive Emulator for Embroidery Machines” and you will have a better idea what I’m talking about. @Toine

I have tested this and verified fully that was the issue. I purchased a genuine cartridge of a game that I was having difficulties with to check this. I verified that writing the game from the copier to a floppy worked fine and then I copied the game in Windows XP and it still crashed and then I copied the same exact ROM file to floppy in Windows 98 and it worked flawlessly.

If your FDD doesn't play the games properly 99.9% of the time it is going to be the operating system you are using. These are friendly with MS-DOS operating systems all the way up to Windows ME. If you use Windows XP or any other NT kernel based O/s (windows 7, windows 8, windows 9, windows server 2000/2003/2003r2 etc), don't expect your games to run properly because the NT kernel takes full control of the FDD from the BIOS and for some reason the SWC DX is not compatible with games written to FDD from any NT kernel based o/s. I own two of these and they both run flawlessly. I'm looking for information about upgrading to 96mbit although I probably won't bother and looking for SWC DX 96 BIOS before I swap out the chip. SWC DX 96 BIOS is not compatible with the SWC DX 94 and I notice that my SWC DX 95 has a different PCB and different circuitry inside so I am guessing there is a possibility that the SWC DX 96 BIOS might work with it. @Geoffrey.Farrugia

Hello Geoffrey.

I’m interested in your conversion.
Was it an easy fix?
I also have a Wildcard DX and think it’s a good idea to play from usb stick.

Greetings,

After some time the floppy drive went faulty. Instead of changing it with a similar drive, I’ve changed it with a 3.5" 1.2MB USB SSD Disk Simulation Floppy Drive Emulator for Embroidery Machines. Now I have all games on only two USB sticks since the drive emulator can only emulate 100 floppies per stick. I got rid of all that flimsy floppy disks ;) I’m an owner of a Super Wildcard SWC DX 32Mb – Front FarEast. After some time the floppy drive went faulty.
