# MicroSD card files
Your PortaPack has a slot for a memory card. This is necessary for certain functionality, like the world map, GPS simulator, and others. You need to uncompress (using [7-zip](https://www.7-zip.org/download.html)) the files from `mayhem_vX.Y.Z_COPY_TO_SDCARD.7z` to a FAT32 formatted MicroSD card.
Get these files from the [Releases](https://github.com/eried/portapack-mayhem/releases) page.
