@zing I owe you an apology.
The USB I was using was bad.
The key formatted under windows and linux correctly.
The key tested fine under windows using 2 different programs.
But whenever I tried to copy roms to it, they became corrupt.
After almost a week of trying I gave up and returned the key to AMAZON. This is only the second time in 20+ years I’ve gotten something bad from AMAZON.
Your were right…I was wrong.
Thank you for a great product. It installed flawlessly on other devices I have.
