Howdy, all
This is the first time I’m trying to update/flash my gameshell’s clockwork os image. I’m on a Mac (macOS Mojave 10.14).
When I insert the micro sd card in it, I get the following popup every time, and it fails to read it.
Error message: The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer.
Is flashing the sd card not supported on a Mac?
just ignore it, this kind of tips will show up on both windows and osx because the filesystem on that sd-card is linux
If you really want to access the files on your Mac, you can purchase the extFS for Mac from Paragon Software. This would grant you full read/write access the partitions on the GameShell memory card. I believe a 7-day free trial is available. Be forewarned though; It’s very easy to corrupt the data on the card accessing it in this manner.
@guu @lasvegas so, the drive doesn’t show up in Finder. Are you saying Etcher will still be able to write to it? I can try, but was worried I might end up borking it.
Thanks!
yeah, just try it
and it won’t broken your Mac or sd-card
Funnily enough, the 0.5 image doesn’t give this message. Instead, we can see the boot partition, where we can view the kernel etc.
Previously I would need to boot into windows or Linux for this.
Bonus! 
Cool, will try later today and update.
Thanks!
From a Mac, you can easily write the image to a memory card using Terminal!
diskutil list
diskutil umountDisk disk3
dd if=[path to img file] of=rdisk3 bs=8m
Where:
if = Input File. Drag the file into the terminal window from Finder after typing the ‘=’. Terminal will fill it in for you.
of = Output File. Be sure to use the ‘rdisk’ variant. Less problems.
bs = Block Size. 8 Megabytes is safe.
When it’s done, you will get the same error that the disk is not readable. Don’t worry about it…
Alright, I was able to flash the sd card with v0.5. Thanks, everyone!
