Defect - USB NOT LOADING, shows SD card contents.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Plug in SD card
2. Plug in USB HDD drive.
3. Load Genesis Plus through Homebrew Channel.
4. Load New Game
5. Load from USB
6. Shows SD card's contents.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
For the Contents of my /genplus/roms folder on my USB hard drive to show
up, where all my zipped roms are. The boot.dol and shit is on my SD card.
Instead when I click it, it just shows me the contents of my SD card.

What version of the emulator are you using?
Most recent.

Please provide any additional information below (video settings, console
region,...)
NTSC Wii with 3.2U hacked firmware.

Thanks for the help.
The problem might be how many genesis games I have in the directory- but I
don't think it's over 1000.

Sorry, not my problem, probably an incompatibility between your drive and the 
library
we use to access USB, if it shows SD instead USB content, this means 
libfat/libogc
did not detect your drive. USB access has been tested and works fine on my side.

Things that might fail:

1/ USB drive is not connected AND not powered when Genesis Plus is loaded from 
HBC.

2/ USB drive is not formatted to FAT (16/32) or don't have a valid FAT 
partition.

If you are using your HDD for piracy stuff, this is probably the problem as this
requires an unsupported file format. Recompiling the source with the last libfat
should fix this, otherwise, use another HDD formatted to FAT32.

My USB drive is Fat32, and has a WBFS partition.
Could that possibly be it?

For every other emulator I load the USB comes up fine. FCE Ultra GX, SNES9x GX, 
and
Wii64.

So I don't see how my USB drive or connection could be a problem.

yes it is, the problem is with the version of the library used to access FAT 
partitions.

I repeat, if you are using the last official build (quite one year old now), 
recompiling the source with the last libfat should fix this. Infos on how to 
compile
the current code: http://code.google.com/p/genplus-gx/wiki/Compiling

Emulators you are mentionning are new and therefore compiled with a newer 
libfat that
can detect FAT partitions on multipartition drives.
