Working IGR, SDcard related?

Post by Greatfunky » Fri Dec 31, 2021 11:18 am

Hi Guys !

I recently took out my old gamecube qoob pro equipped to catch up with improvements , flashed the qoob with iplboot r6 and get the SD2SP2 with Swiss r1236.

The result is absolutely stunning :D , then according to the SD Cards compatibility list, i get a Sandisk Ultra 1TB SDXC that is working nicely, excepting IGR on it.

I couldn't get a working IGR with this card : i tried Swiss on a different SD card Toshiba 4GB , my IGR.dol is swiss.dol renamed , i use exactly the same Swiss config as the other card, i test it with Mario kart Pal version .

With the Toshiba i reboot to Swiss, with the sandisk i reboot to the original gamecube menu.

I can't see any other difference excepting size, brand and Fat format, the Toshiba is fat32 and the Sandisk is exFat.

Do you have any ideas ?

small letters...

Thanks for the info

Of course i can format the Card in FAT32 but i already filled it with 500 Go of games and that took a while, so I would like to be sure before formatting .

AFAIK exFat wasn't supported in older Swiss revisions, everything seems working fine here apart from this issue, someone can confirm FAT32 is needed?

FAT32 is necessary since v0.6r1236 as Petit FatFs used by the reload stub doesn't support exFAT. It's also necessary for all other applications than Swiss.
