What is problem? (only list ONE problem per report)

When you try to format VMU with Dreamcast menu, it's not working. VMU icon is still red with a cross.
I also tried to delete the file mc.bin within blueretro website, it's not working either.

What did you expect to happen?

Being able to format and use VMU.
