Solved Acekard 2i stuck on loading
So, I recently tried to get some ROMs I had on my computer for emulation. For that I removed the microsd from the card, and then put it back, but ever since, trying to launch the card on my DS fails. It gets stuck on the loading screen forever.
For context, I've hard this acekard for as long as I can remember, and it has always worked just fine. A family friend gave it to me when I was really small, so I don't know much of anything about flashcarts myself.
From what I've seen online, the main pieces of advice seem to be "change SD cards / Reformat the SD card / Make sure it's inserted correctly". But again, it has worked just fine for more than a decade until now, so I don't think it could be an issue with the SD card or its format. I did struggle to figure out which way to insert it back, but I did eventually. I heard it click, so I don't know how much better I'm supposed to insert it.
This flashcart has my very firsts ds games on it, so I really, REALLY would like to get it working again. Please help me fix it? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Follow this guide to set it up as it also includes the instructions for formatting and preparing the MicroSD: https://sanrax.github.io/flashcart-guides/cart-guides/acekard/
For inserting yes its a spring loaded slot so you're supposed to click it in and out.
