Can't write to USB FAT32 partition anymore.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Run r92 for 249.
2.Set Wiiflow to load covers from USB FAT32 and cache covers on the USB FAT32 
partition.
3.Run Wiiflow.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect Wiiflow to load up and show all the covers. Instead, they all say 
"loading" with a picture of an SD card. This never goes away and if I try to do 
anything except scroll left or right (even pressing the home button), it hangs, 
so I have to force a shutdown. If I have all the covers on the USB drive, but 
set it to cache on the SD card, they all load quite quickly on the first try, 
and then if I load Wiiflow up again, they all load instantly. So I was just 
content with that. But then, when I tried to download a cover to the USB FAT32 
partition, it connected fine, but when it tried to save the image on the FAT32 
partiton, it just stopped. The cursor was still moveable, so I clicked cancel, 
but it just said "cancelling" for ages until I had to force a shutdown. 
Basically, it seems Wiiflow is unable to write to the FAT32 USB partition. I 
checked the partition for errors, but apparently it's fine.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
r92 for cIOS 249. I'm not too sure about any other IOSes I might have 
installed. If you think it might be an IOS issue, please say what version of 
what IOS you think might fix it.

Please provide any additional information below.
R45 was working fine until recently, and then it started behaving exactly like 
my description above. I hadn't made any changes to any IOSes or anything. I 
switched back to an old, pre 2.0 version (not sure what number) and it worked 
fine. So today I decided to try the most recent version (r92) and got the above 
issue. But I don't think the hard drive is faulty, so maybe an IOS got 
corrupted or something (if such a thing is possible). I'm not sure if this can 
be counted as an issue with Wiiflow, or just an issue with my set up (seeing as 
it was working, then it stopped).

Maybe you should post your wiiflow.ini to let us know what mess you have there 
:)

Use Hermes cIOS 222 v4 for FAT32 only.

Writing on FAT32 with 249 version of Wiiflow is buggy, i can confirm this.

I assume I have to change to the 222 version of WiiFlow too, right? Also, it's 
odd the 249 worked fine for so long. Anyway, thanks for your help, I'll give it 
a go.

EDIT:Well, I've done it and it worked! Thanks! I still don't get how it 
suddenly stopped working, but it's fine now and that's all that matters.

Both of these statements are false.  

Use cios 249 rev 19 base 38 for wiiflow if running fat32 or ntfs for the best 
results.  You must use rev18+ for 249 to work.  222 will also work but is much 
slower than 249 for this purpose.

Writing to fat32 is not buggy at all, you just need to set up your cios and 
wiiflow right.  OP, you can also come to IRC and get r116, and if you still 
have problems after updating your cIOS please post your ini.  Either way update 
back to this issue so that I know your issues are solved.

Well, it worked anyway, and it seems perfectly quick to me. I actually already 
had 222 installed, so I just swapped the boot.dol for the 222 one. I'm happy 
with r92 for now. Thanks again!

miigotu,

"Both of these statements are false."

This issue relates to (release) r92 and writing on FAT32 with 249 r19. It's not 
working proper for me.
Fine if this issue is fixed in newer (beta) revisons. But i will not test it, 
because my Wii is "hack in black" free zone and using Hermes cIOS is perfectly 
quick to me. ;)
