ROMs not loading.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open ROM
2. Hit "Play ROM"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
   Instead of opening the game, the emulator freezes. The ROM works on   
PC but not on WII64.

What version of the product are you using? On which system and loader?
   Beta 1, system menu 4.1, Banner Bomb

Please provide any additional information below.
   I've tried re-downloading the beta but that didn't work.
   I've tried the following ROMs: Star Fox 64, Super Mario 64, The Legend
of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Mario Kart 64, and Paper Mario.

Provide more detail, were the ROMs zipped, are they verified known good dumps, 
etc,
otherwise this issue will be made invalid.

I and MANY others can verify this problem. It has to do with the way HBC is 
running
Wii64. Beta 1 is not compatible with the latest HBC thus you receive a "An error
occurred" message. To fix you have 2 options:

1) Wait for the Wii64 team to release a fix.

2) Boot LoadMii from HBC then select Wii64 and boot using that method. (Known 
to run
games at 4-25fps)

This has to do with the fact that you either have a whole bunch of cIOS junk
installed, or you're running sysmenu 4.2 with no older, sane, IOS.

Wii64 Beta 1 was compiled with a version of libOGC which will look for a sane 
IOS on
bootup, but for some, like you two, it'll either pick a stub, or an IOS that is 
not
supported.

The next version will be compiled with newer libOGC which does not re-load 
another
IOS but rather it will use what the hbc was using before it.

Actually, its a user error. Wii64 is running perfectly right now with no 
faults. 

I was under the impression roms & saves go under:

SD:/Apps/wii64/roms
SD:/Apps/wii64/saves

While they really go under:

SD:/wii64/roms
SD:/wii64/saves

When you download the beta 1 from the Googe Code site, you get 2 folders. An 
apps and
a wii64 folder. Copy both into the root of your SD card. places roms and saves 
in
their correct locations listed above. 

Sorry for the confusion. You're doing a great on job on this emulator. Thank 
you very
much. Played Mario Kart 64 for like an hour (:.

When I try to load the games from dvd, an error message I appear: " Error An 
occurred". 
How I can solve this problem?

DVDx V2 is a little buggy it seems, that is the issue.

Worst emulator i've ever seen. I get the error msg: Error opening directory
sd/wii64/roms every fucking time! Tried on different Wiis, different Versions,
different CIOS, different Wii64 version. Everytime it says Error opening 
directory.
And YES, the roms are in the directory sd\wii64\roms.
Fucking bad program.

I am having the same problem as r.gross111, when I select Load ROM, it says 
Error opening directory sd:/wii64/roms. I've checked from time to time whether 
I put the roms in the right place, and they are. Any help?

@r.gross111,  wow, talk about immature remarks. "Worst emulator I've ever seen" 
and 
"$#@%#*& bad program"..? Now that's uncalled for, as you're the only one who 
seems to be having this error. I'm using an 8GB SDHC card and the only issue 
I've had is with TWO incompatible games. TWO. Super Mario 64? Runs perfectly. 
Star Fox 64? Runs perfectly. The authors went through, and still are. going 
through hours and hours of hard work optimizing Wii64 to get it where it is 
today. It doesn't run? Gee, looks like it runs fine to me: 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN-Gp1hrYM4&feature=channel  It's on your end, 
and not Wii64's fault. Either you have a crappy generic brand SD card or you 
need to format it with either the FAT16 or exFAT file system.   I'd like to see 
you do a better job porting an emulator that runs on a x86 CPU (PC) 
architecture to run on hardware with a PowerPC (Wii) architecture. Yeah, that's 
what I thought. Either format your SD card and start from scratch, then set up 
the right folder structure, or stop your bloody whining. It's people like you 
that make authors want to abandon their emulator projects.

I know this topic is old but for r.gross or anyone else bitching about this... 
I had exactly the same problem. EXACTLY. Turns out my SD card was formatted in 
EXT. I formatted it in Fat16 and everything worked perfectly. Thank you. The 64 
emulator on my PC didn't work as good as this one, the linux version wasn't 
much better either.
 Now I can play on my TV set with controllers.

Sorry, but I have the same problem too. What could I do?
