"Failed to initialize filesystem"

Your flashcards firmware must support the argv in order for the file system to work correctly. If your card does not support argv, then you will need to use Homebrew menu to launch it.

"Ini file not found"

The ini file must be in the same folder as the rom file is and named "mpcds.ini" with no quotes.

"Failed to find songs folder"

SongDir = /folder1/folder2/songfolder/
