Hello,  
I am trying to build a Gamebuino classic with an Arduino Nano, SD card reader and, last but not least, a Nokia 5110 display.  
After Burning the bootloader, formating an SD card to FAT 16 (not forgetting to add the files from the Gamebuino Games Compilation ) and hooking together the Arduino, the display, and the card reader, the display stays blank !

What can I possibly be doing wrong ?

I’m using information from :  
[https://embdev.net/topic/390385](https://embdev.net/topic/390385)

Regards.

I found the problem. I was using the wrong bootloader.  
Can anyone give me a copy of the bugfixed bootloader from the following post?  
[http://legacy.gamebuino.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=932](http://legacy.gamebuino.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=932)  
(the Google Drive link doesn’t work anymore)  
Regards.

I found the the bootloader !!!  
Now, I am running into another issue:  
the displays stays at the “flashing loader” screen forever.  
The settings work great though.  
Do you know of any possible fix ?

I’m a little late, I didn’t see your message.  
Everything is in order ?

Thank you for your anwser !!!  
I finally found the problem : you have to use a 2gb SD card for the gamebuino to load the programs properly.  
Fun fact : this issue is documented nowhere !

Thank you,  
I can confirm : the SDCard library embedded into the Classic can’t handle more than 2GB.  
Have nice day 😉
