Ah OK, good to know, is there a brand and/or model you would recommend?

I use an Altane but they aren't available anymore (maybe coming back?). I recommend looking into bennvenn's flashers but I think he's currently sold out as well.

Edit - looks like Altane is available afterall https://www.retromodding.com/products/altane

Still available at our shop too, though Retro Modding will have faster shipping. http://asmgames.com

I have 2 ems that won't work with their own USB but work fine plugged into my flasher.

Luckily I had literally just backed up the LSDJ sav I had on it. But I'd really like to see if it can be resurrected somehow before I invest in another one.

Maybe windows does something funky that kills the NAND. I'm sorry about the cart

I have a 64M EMS Smart Card that had been working great until today when I ejected it from my Windows PC. I used the thing where you "safely eject" USB flash drives, etc. from the system. I clicked on "safely eject EMS inter-link cable". In the past I've just unplugged it but today I decided to safely eject it and now it appears to be bricked. It isn't recognized by any PC (tried with a Win XP PC, and Win 7 and Win 8 PC's). Also when inserted into my DMG or SP I just get a blank screen.
Is there a way to bring it back? I haven't been able to find much info on this issue using the Googles.
