[Issue]: Stuck on "Loading DVD..." screen after launching #453

Closed Soundtoxin closed 6 months ago

Soundtoxin commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug

I am using a GameCube and when launching vbagx I get stuck on a loading screen and can't do anything.

To Reproduce

Expected behavior

I don't know why it's doing anything with the DVD drive. I would either expect to not see this screen at all (especially with my drive empty) or to have an option to cancel out of it.

Relevant log output

I also have this issue with snes9xgx, and this seems similar to the following issue: https://github.com/dborth/snes9xgx/issues/927

I found this post.

for anyone that comes across this thread with the same problem, I finally found out the problem. The emulators weren’t reading the SD card in my serial port because I accidentally had it formatted to exFAT instead of FAT32. I reformatted it and it worked right away!

My SD card is also exfat I believe. Is exfat still not supported?

I guess https://github.com/dborth/vbagx/issues/424 and https://github.com/dborth/vbagx/issues/421 are also relevant then.

I had the same issue on an exfat card which I reformatted to fat32. That also worked for me, so I guess exfat just isn't supported.

I think any GC game easily fits into the 4GB file limit of exfat, so formatting to fat32 is probably just a good idea anyway.
