Emulator crashes whenever I load an ADF file

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load uae-wii from Homebrew Channel
2. Navigate to folder under /uae/floppies/ containing the ADF file(s)
3. Push button "A" to load the ADF

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see the game run - as seen in your screenshots. Instead the
program bombs out with a catastrophic error. Black screen with disk error
messages requiring system reboot.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using version 4 on Wii System Menu 4.2. My card is an 8GB Sandisk SDHC
card.

Please provide any additional information below.
I was wondering if all ADF files can actually run with this emulator. If
not, it would be good to have a compatibility list on the Googlecode page
where users could report success or otherwise with games and apps.

All games will certainly not run - it's not a real Amiga after all. However, it
shouldn't crash like that. I don't use system menu 4.2, but I don't know if that
really should change anything.

If you are able to provide a photo of the crash, it might help (i.e., show 
where the
program crashes).

I've attached a photo of the type of screen I see when I try to open an ADF 
file. I 
then have to reboot.

I think I have figured the problem; I didn't understand how to use the interface
properly. I got the emulator working last night.

What I was doing was highlighting the floppy I wanted to use (fd0) and then 
choosing
"Load" on the next line, thinking that this was how to load a game to the 
floppy,
rather than load a saved state. When I chose an ADF file, it crashed the 
emulator.

Obviously when I click on "A" while "fd0" is highlighted (rather than "Load") 
and
then choose an ADF file, the emulator starts. I was playing Liquid Kids last 
night.

Thanks for all your good work and apologies for my ineptitude.

OK, it's very good to have the report anyway - this is obviously a real bug that
should be fixed then (even if it's possible to work around).

I've been busy with Frodo for a while, so I haven't been able to look at this 
yet.
