Have you ever used the card before?? On SD cards there's a little lock switch on the left side of the card, sometimes it gets pushed in to the "lock" position when you place it in the adapter/SD card port. If that is the case... take a small piece of scotch tape and tape down the switch in the unlocked position. Or maybe the game ID doesn't match?

If it is not detecting the card at all then likely it is not making good contact somewhere. I am not familar with what you are using but I can deduce from no card detected that something is not making contact. If you are using a micro card adaptor the adaptor could have bad pins and you need to use a different one or the micro card itself could be warped. I had one have that happen, it got bent a tiny bit but it was just enough to make the pins miss and the card is useless. A good test would be to try everything and connect it to a pc if you can access the files on the micro card then the connections on it and the adapter are fine and it could be in the slot or it could be something else altogether. Have you tried any other cards, on this and see if they work if so and the micro works on a PC then it is definately not a bad connection and is a software conflict. At which point you are out of my skill set as I am not familar with this. This is just an idea, not sure if it will help but it might. Best of luck to you. Hope it works out for you. Talk to you later.

Sincerely,

the lock is not the main problem i never lock my SD card. when i first tried it, the card was working fine.
then a week later i had to try many times before it loads the codes.
the homebrew apps appear on the homebrew channel but when the apps load it can't detect the card as if it wasn't there from the beginning.

for example.when i use gecko os i have the bubbles on and the codes load fine. when i use the card now it doesn't show the bubbles and no codes are found.

i think sdhc cards are overrated >:(
