Can't see any files on my SD card #469

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Hi I just installed WiiXplorer through Homebrew Browser but none of the files 
or folders on my SD card are listed when the app loads. Seems like a file 
explorer is pretty useless if it doesn't show any files! My SD card is 
accessible in every other app on my Wii, and WiiXplorer itself is on the card 
so I really don't understand this...especially since no-one else seems to have 
posted the same or even a similar issue. Also, if I type a valid folder address 
into the address bar, nothing seems to change...I still have sd:\ with no 
folder name in the address bar! Even if I try to navigate to the 
apps/WiiXplorer folder, where the program itself is installed, I get no change.

Is there a cIOS that WiiXplorer requires to run properly? Or something else I'm 
missing? When I found your app on WiiBrew I thought "wow, now that's something 
I've GOTTA have!", but it doesn't even work! Or at least not for me...

Any help would be much appreciated!!

Well,

Can you try:

- Copy all the content of your SD somewhere, format it properly in fat and 
retransfert data on it (I have see troubles with bad SD formatting).
- Do you try to change the device (with the icon on the top) ?

Have you make proper settings ?

Well, since the first time i have use Wiixplorer, I have no problem at all with 
it, everything are working very nice, and i always use it to transfert data 
from my SD card to my USB disk.

It works pretty good for everyone else. Before posting something so ignorant, 
inform yourself better and check your sd/usb devices for errors first.

OK I'm sorry if my OP was a bit abrupt but if my SD/USB devices had errors on 
them, or weren't formatted properly, don't you think they would fail to work AT 
ALL?! ON ANY PC/WII/WHATEVER?! But no, they work absolutely perfectly on EVERY 
DEVICE I HAVE TRIED THEM ON, including the Wii with every other piece of 
homebrew I own (which is about 10 apps). I'll take your suggestions into 
consideration, and thank you for them, but I honestly can't see how the problem 
could be on my end...but I will eat my words and apologise if your suggestions 
work. Thanks guys :-)

P.S. By format to FAT, do you mean FAT16, FAT32 or either? It is currently 
FAT32...

Hi,

I mean FAT, I think 16 or 32 depend a lot of the size of your SD card (well use 
32 to be sure).
Another question: your SD card is SD or SDHC ? If it is SDHC (size > 2Gb), you 
must use a CIOS witch fully support it.

I have the issue mentioned (nothing shows up after loading Wiixplorer). The SD 
card have been properly formated to FAT32 and then had the files transfered 
back. The Wii have no problem using the SD card, everything runs as it should 
otherwise. It is a 2gb microSD card run through a microSD -> SD adapter. I have 
yet to figure out how to solve the issue and would be grateful if you knew a 
solution.

Kindest regards
