Dit it happen in previous versions ? because absolutely nothing has changed 
regarding
memory card support since the last official release.

Fixed in r435.

For further reference, it was due to 2 things:

(1) memory card encryption was disabled by writing to gamecube EXI base address 
(Wii
hardware uses a different address)
(2) the return status of the CARD_GetSectorSize function was not checked which 
could
lead to infinite loop in case of error.

k,thanx. sorry 'bout the duplicate.
i used the latest libogc with 3rd party classic controller mod.thats probably 
the 
source of my issue. i have an sd card. i just use the memcard to compensate for 
the 
lack of saveslots.

For the record, I got issues too, even with the latest libogc from SVN.
It was when trying to load a savestate which did not exist: instead of giving 
me an
error saying the file was not found, it hanged somewhere in the code, probably 
trying
to read a nun-existent file.

The problem is that there is nothing in my code that can explain the infinite 
loop
and as I said, there haven't been any changes since the last official release, 
I only
secured some parts I reviewed in the last revisions. More over, the issue is not
constant and I successfully saved/loaded state files on the memory card.

The reason is probably that Wii memory card support in libogc is quite unstable 
or
have been modified: I know they commited some fixes lastly, it might have 
introduced
some issues while fixing others, I really don't know. It might also be relate 
dto
memory card types (official or not, sector size, format, free space, etc).
