The service menu (D+M)

---

Backup ∞

You can insert either an CF or an SD card. If you insert both, the CF card will be used.

The format of the storage card must be FAT16.

My backup file was 132MB.

1. Enter the service menu (D+M)
2. Go to SERVICE(3/3) — cursor-right twice.
3. Cursor to option 2: BACKUP RESTORE MENU and press OK.

4. Cursor to option 2: NAND Flash Back Up and press OK.

It will check the device and tell you how much free space is left.

• You may cancel the operation by pressing Cancel twice.

• You may proceed by pressing OK.

A progress bar is displayed at the bottom of the screen. Be patient, because it is making a large file. =) The backup can easily take 10 minutes or more.

When the backup is complete, it will say OK. Press Cancel to return to the menu.

Restore ∞

For me, the backup file is called systc100.dbk

You can insert either an CF or an SD card. If you insert both, the CF card will be used.

The format of the storage card must be FAT16.

1. Enter the service menu
2. go to SERVICE(3/3) — press cursor-right twice.
3. cursor to option 2: BACKUP RESTORE MENU and press OK.
4. It will ask for SYSTC100.DBK, just press OK.
5. It will ask to delete all flash data, just press OK.
6. It says Restore.... Just wait while a green progress bar appears at the bottom.

7. Wait for it to say OK.

Troubleshooting ∞

(unsolved) Never finds SYSTC100.DBK ∞

(no clue)

Erasing the memory didn’t work.

• double-check that the CF or SD card is formatted FAT16.

Notes ∞

Typo: If no card is inserted, it says “no strage” =)
