I recently got my SD HxC floppy emulator and today I found the time to plug it to my Amiga A600. I made all the connections according to the installation guide, but there is something wrong with the floppy emulator screen. Everything is lit up, I can only see squares on the screen. Here's a picture I took:
Other than the screen, the floppy emulator works. I did create an hfe file and placed it on the SD card and I was able to start it, but I was completely "blind" while trying to load it. I would just press the left/right and select keys until I saw something was working.
Could there be something I'm doing wrong? I believe all connections are right, but please take a look at the picture to verify that. Then again, if it was a connection problem, the hfe file wouldn't load, right? Any ideas?

No this probably a bad LCD. Try to remove and replug the lcd screen.gapan wrote:I recently got my SD HxC floppy emulator and today I found the time to plug it to my Amiga A600.

If this doesn't work try to contact Lotharek.
All I can say is that I'm really impressed with the support. Lotharek was kind enough to offer me a free replacement. Not only that, but when I asked him if he could mod the replacement for write support with the amiga and that I would pay him the costs involved, he offered to do it free of charge too. So I think this can be marked as solved. Thank you very much lotharek!
