A. load the ROM, ERRCODE
Load the ROM, ERRCODE = -4
If you encounter this problem, you need to update your database
Load the ROM, ERRCODE = -5
Game you used is not compatible is card, it is said that you can try other games, instead of waiting until the official release of this game bug fixes.
Load the ROM, ERRCODE = -7
you need to update your kernel firmware version, please try using the latest firmware
if the loading speed is slow,maybe the fragments of your SD/TF card are too many. You can use the official SD/TF card format tool.It can solve your issues.
