If you try to load the SD slot again, it reads "SD card not found", retrying does nothing. If you try to go into settings, it crashes

Same results with untouched-uncompressed dol
New finding: 0.0.3, it works only in slot A! But after you load a couple of games, the message "Invalid file size" appears and you can't load any more games on the rom list. It doesn't hang, but the only thing that can be done is pressing the exit button.

Sounds like you are having problems with your gecko adapter

But why would other emulators work normally? or even generate a "loading dvd" message?

the emulator uses MountAllFAT();
basically all this does is searches slot A to determine if there is a fat formatted SD card....
if it does not find one, then it searches slot B
this code is used is both 0.0.1 and 0.0.3


your explanation of behavior indicates (as shown in the past in numerous threads) there is some issue with the sd adapter or the cardslot itself..
are you using an SDML adapter? those have been known to have contact issues...
see if this helps: viewtopic.php?p=22982#p22982
use about 4-6 strips

Tested! I already did the tape mod before, because yes, the adapter sucks before that modification

Well, guess what? It was the SD card, all this time. I'm using a different one, a 1gb microsd with adapter. Is there a logic behind that? The dvd loading error and stuff, why would it trigger that? (your fceugx build does work in the previous sdcard, for example)
