emulator will reset gamecube after you select "load from sd"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. once emulator boots select load rom
2. select load from sd
3. gamecube resets itself

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Expected output is
for the emulator to load a rom from a sd card. Instead I see that the
emulator resets the gamecube.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? I used
both the wii64.tar.bz2 version and the
mupen64gc_alpha_r200-uncompressed.rar version. Used on gamecube OS,

Please provide any additional information below.

The "Load from SD" option, if I recall correctly, is a Wii only feature, 
meaning the
front SD slot on the Wii itself. It will not work on a Gamecube, or a Wii 
running in
Gamecube mode, because no SD slot is built into that device. You'll need an SD 
gecko
adapter to load roms from an SD card in gamecube mode, and you'll need to use 
the
correct loading option.

thegamefreak0134: I think you've got the right idea, but I'm not sure you have 
all
the details right so I'll clarify.  The wii64.tar.bz2 is a Wii-mode only 
release;
there is no GC binary included.  There is a "Load from SD" option on the GC and 
Wii,
and it is impossible for the front slot to work in GC mode.  I believe both GC 
and
Wii versions support the SD-Gecko though.
lamentofking2: If you are using the SD-Gecko in GC mode, I'll need more 
information
to figure out what's wrong there.  Did you format the card in FAT16 and did you 
set
up the directories correctly?

whats there to format? my card is in fat. I have the N64ROMS and N64SAVES 
directory
on root. Ok so the wii version won't work, what about the uncompressed version? 
It
does the same thing. And I'm using sdml btw. This emu worked the 1st time i 
used it
but that wthe beginning of last month. It just resets my cube now. Is the
uncompressed version not for the gc?

Is your card formatted in FAT16?  r200 (the most recent GC release) doesn't use
libfat and therefore only supports FAT16 not FAT32.  Also I don't think there 
was
much error handling in that old revision.  The next release will include both a 
GC
and Wii binary, both using libfat.  So if you have everything set up correctly, 
you
maybe should see if it still fails with the next release since a lot has changed
since r200.
