should i FORMAT my SD card or is it a VBAGX problem?

Post by xGRUMPYx » Mon Jan 03, 2011 4:35 am

well i have a SD sandisk wii 2GB card, i have 43 roms on the VBAGX, but when i go open the emulator it only shows 33 roms, and if i go to wiixplorer it shows all of them, should i format my SD card? is so How? FAT? or FAT 32? ..also my sd card has enough space 326MB left.. it only has homebrew browser, fcu ultraGX, snes9GX, Wii64, WiiSX, wiixplorer..

what are the file extensions for the 10 missing roms are they the same as the rest? are these ROMs perhaps in a bad format?

Oh, I might suggest that the ROMs don't have really long filenames, and if they're Pokemon games, get rid of the special characters such as the fancy 'e' with the dash on top.

Could be a number of things.

Can you hear the drive reset & move the laser / spin the disc?
Does it require DVDx?
If it requires DVDx, is your Wii too new perhaps for DVDx?
Is it capable of exploring the disc you've got inserted?
and finally
Can other homebrew access this disc you've got?
