Ah that's alright, I was just bummed out yesterday because I hadn't noticed your forked version had a missing pointer dereference when sending exi commands for the memcard so I wasted too many hours going over the documentation. I ended up implementing support for file lookup on either memcard instead of having the gc scan through like a mad dog and like you said potentially picking up on stale/garbage data. It's quite easy to get it to work thanks to swiss's your support for writing arbitrary files to the memcard. I'm booting a dol called gbiloader for which I've added support for sd2sp2 to real quick and I can boot to swiss in a matter of seconds. Hurray!
Here's a link to my fork if you want to merge it in with yours: https://github.com/vingt-2/xenogcfork/
Sure, if you want make a pull request and tidy up the versioning or whatever I'll merge it in.

I had a frustrated idea in an experiment from another post ... but after I took apart the welds I realized that something was wrong ... :roll:
I saw that the atmega 238 can behave like the atmega8, at least that's what I understood when reading the datasheet ... :!:

do you think your fork would be written on atmega 328? :?:
is it ready for use already?



I have this equipment for the flash:

I think I finally understand that. The code I had for DVD_CallFunc() only cleared some existing interrupts (dvd[0] = 0x14) because I didn't understand what I was doing at the time. I believe a lot of the hanging problems, etc., are caused by this. My idea is to enable the interrupts (dvd[0] = 0x2e) so that potentially the drive won't hang up at that point.

As soon as I get my Xeno Reflashed I will test this.
checks the drive state on init to make sure it is ready for unloading xeno

the hanging looks to be caused by internal code being loaded to the mn102
