Format cards with AOMEI Partition Assistant and at the highest allocation value possible. If the problem persists, leave the card with at least 2GB of free space.

It can't be a disc image issue, this is purely a file system issue.

All games work. I didn't check if the Paper Mario level bug was fixed in the latest version of Swiss. But using code to start at the maximum level solves this problem.

I only have 2 more tips: Put each game in a folder. There may be a conflict regarding file names. And do the surface test on AOMEI to check the integrity of the cards.
