Perhapse is there a tool i can use to give you info about the sd card?
Soldering the 1,8kohm resistor would work?

No, it doesn't work.

Sometimes after a long time reading track 0, the hxc shows "choose a file" like the image wasn't selected.

Formatted in FAT32 ?
Can measure the 5V power supply ?
Can you retry the emulator on another system ?
