As far as I know, reading from the SD card is _possible_ , but it would be very complicated and we don’t have one yet.

Because you have to modify the bootloader to be able to read an SD card.

Hmmm…im not that smart - I had a bad experience with bootloaders. You should ask one of the MakeCode devs - @mmoskal might know.

At this moment that slot is used to give Meowbit Bluetooth capabilities which are compatible with micro:bit’s one: [https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1-c-s.w4004-22598961761.51.1a593dacE3R9Jw&id=605430480347](https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.1-c-s.w4004-22598961761.51.1a593dacE3R9Jw&id=605430480347). Soon it’ll be available outside China. Someone with good knowledge maybe can modify it’s extension for SD card usage: [https://github.com/KittenBot/pxt-sdwireless](https://github.com/KittenBot/pxt-sdwireless).

P.S. There’s also an official extension for Arcade which gives some space for saving game information. It’s mentioned a couple times on this forum.

Not at this moment. Let’s hope that we’ll get that feature sometimes.

Maybe it is possible right now if you use the software kittenbot provides:

> **[Software](https://www.kittenbot.cc/pages/software)**
>
> We provide free and open software for our robot kit and hardware parts or other purpose. Kittenblock Kittenblock is derivative of Scratch3 and focus on hardware/extension implement. Windows：  kittenblock 1.84 Mac：  kittenblock 1.84  ...

  
I know in micropython there is some sd-card functionality that might work out of the box.  
But it will be very much work to program games from scratch without the comfortable makecode arcade infrastructure and you will not be able to easily share them with people here on the forum.

So probably the best choice is to wait and hope that some brilliant mind implements it for us 😉  
Imagine how cool it would be to have all the games posted here available on an sd card!

Is it possible that kittenbot can respond? @KittenBot

I think that might only apply to MicroPython

MicroPython is not MakeCode Arcade. I think you want MakeCode Arcade?

Uhh…no. I’m a CircuitPython guy and it’s kinda tricky and dirty doing that.

(For CircuitPythonistas out there, abusing `boot.py` to rename a file and copy to flash is what I was after)
