You do realize that you don't have to put ALL the maps from any particular collection on your device, right?
Only the map files you need or will use.

If you keep changing from one download to another and another, people are going to find it increasingly difficult to help you.
But that's just my opinion..I could be wrong.

Move the entire content folder to the sd card and add these lines to the sys.txt

[folders]
content="\Storage Card\Content"

*Note: The device might call Storage Card something else like SDMMC

Then put the maps in content\maps

Also, in case you are not aware of this already, using non-custom Becker software on a Becker device, may result in some minor functionality reductions.
Such as any hardware buttons on the unit for "Back" or "Volume" may not work. Use the software buttons for same within Primo instead.
But that's just my opinion..I could be wrong.

Also primo will only read maps from one location only, either internal memory OR sd card NOT BOTH!

Possible reasons...

1, There is already a [folders] section in sys.txt, so you now have two [folders] sections
2, You have the same content in the internal memory, so you can't tell where the maps are loading from
3, The device calls Storage Card something else, so the path \Storage Card\Content doesn't exist
4, You only moved the maps, not the whole folder, voices, skins and all
