Use a 3rd party formatting tool
I suggest this will be the easiest and more painless path for most people, as the native Mac/Windows formatting+partitioning tools can be quite fiddly and not as straightforward.
So far, the most prominently mentioned tool I've encountered is the following, I have tried it myself on Mac, with success. Two others have had success with it, one on Mac, another on Windows.
I have assess the result of the format produced and confirm it is FAT32+MBR.
SD Card Formatter Tool
- Download the tool from here:
- Select your USB stick from the combo box at the top
- confirm you have selected the right disk by assessing the capacity
- then click the “Format” button
Once the format is complete, copy your “THEC64-drive8.d64” file across and try it on your c64 mini.
If problems persist, let us know in either the community forum or the facebook group.
