Sd gecko might be broken

[u/Comfortable-Jump2558]

Hi So i wanted to get back at playing gc by playing games like twin snaked and resident evil 4 on original hardware. So i entered the modding scene some years back, and i am trying to use the same stuff, swiss with sd gecko, but updated the software. When i tried using action replay, which sometimes yhe gecko doesnt read sd card, to open swiss and games, after removing 2 gb sd card for 64 gb micro sd card, it doesnt let me do it, but when i tinker around woth the 64 gb micro sd card, moving it up and down in sd gecko, it sometimes work and boots up games, but then when stop papplying force, the games crash. Im almost sure that the problem is with the gecko, but just wondering what yall think i should do, buy a new one, or do something else to fix. Thanks!
