I just wanted to follow up that I tested 10 different versions of snes9xgx to see if there was a version where it worked, but unfortunately all versions I tested did not work. I noticed some movement in the changelog with past versions and the SD2SP2 so wanted to be sure.

Versions tested:

I also performed similar tests with https://github.com/dborth/vbagx and https://github.com/dborth/fceugx with the same results, but before I went and opened issues on their trackers I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious here.

As I mentioned, I'm using the SD2SPS2 Pro which lets you side load the microSD card without needing to set the GameCube upside down, as well as allows compatibility whilst the Game Boy Player accessory is connected. Swiss is able to detect and work with it just fine, for what it's worth there, which is how I am loading snes9xgx/etc in the first place.

Please let me know if there's anything else you need or I can try, I'm now able to grab screenshots courtesy of my HDMI adapter and capture card now, which are posted below to showcase how I am attempting to load this and the provided error message.

Is your sd card formatted with fat32 or exfat?

Perfect, then that's the reason. Swiss supports exfat but this emulator doesn't. Format it to fat32 and it'll work.

boktai1000 commented 3 months ago

Is that possible for this size of a card? I formatted with the recommended / official Panasonic SD Card Format utility.

Additionally, would it make sense to open a request for exFAT support - is that within the realm of possibility? Just curious - thanks!

dborth commented 3 months ago

Yes it's absolutely possible to format it to fat32, use a fat32 format tool. Yes it's possible to add exfat but I'm not going to do it so there's no point to opening the request. If someone submits a pull request, I'll merge it.
