Can't find games on HDD without SD card #113

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Load nintendont from a usb hdd without an sd card on the slot
2.select "USB"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

expected:
list of games appearing on the screen

what happens:
without sd: message "no fat device found, or missing usb:/games dir"
with sd: expected behavior

What revision of Nintendont are you using? On what system Wii/Wii U?

r200 on Wii

Please provide any additional information below.

last known working version: r178

it seems that the new version doesnt even touch the sd, justs checks for it 
(even when the user selects USB), it reads the nincfg.bin, controller.ini, game 
and memcard from the hdd as normal but requires and sd on the slot

are you saying it works in r178 and dosent work in r179 ?
if not I need you to track down what version it strats to fail in, so we can 
see what changed.

no, r178 was the last version i tested, i updated from r178 to r200 and it 
stoped working...
no problem, i will test each revision post-r178 to see when it started

it started to fail at r185, the problem is at loader/source/main.c what changed 
is that now fatInitDefault() is called sooner, before some wii specific things 
that i dont really understand, including something labelled "patch FS access"...
i downloaded the latest version and moved the fatInitDefault and meta.xml 
update code to just before LoadTitles() and it worked!
i didn't try to move the "patch FS access" loop to before the fat init and 
AHBProt check... maybe it would break something else, i dont know

Hi, I guess I'm kind of a noob at this, but I'm having the same problem. As far 
as these Revisions, I'm a little confused. I only know how to download the 
Nintendont files and put them in their respected areas, but I don't know what 
these revisions are or how I would incorporate them into my issue. My gamecube 
games will work from my SD card and Flash Drive, but not my external Hard Drive 
which is weird because I am able to load all of my wii games from there in 
configurable USB loader, but I can't load the GC games at all and in the root, 
I have it as usb1:/games/(Name of Game)/game.iso, but get the message "No FAT 
device found, or missing usb:/games dir!". The version of Nintendont I have is 
not the black screen one though, there is a beige image in the background with 
a logo and black text. This r217 that you speak of seems to have worked for 
Harrison, but I don't know what that is or how to find it, when I looked it 
just leads me to a script that I don't know how to add/incorporate, can you 
please help me?

Ok, so if I understand correctly, I click on the r217 link you posted then go 
to "View Raw File". then download the "loader.dol" file then rename it 
"boot.dol" and move it to the Nintendont app replacing the original "boot.dol" 
file, but if this is the case, I did that and I'm still getting the "No FAT 
device found, or missing usb:/games dir!" Error :/

if your flash drive is working, then make sure the first partition on your hard 
drive is fat32 and NOT ntfs

The fat partition has to be the first partition
