Crash dump at start up

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm unsure if this is just a problem that only I have, or if others have it as 
well. I've tried to start the app up every time, and it would crash, giving the 
same code each time. I even tried it on 2 different SNEEKs, and the same code 
was given.

8029b560 --> 8029b560 --> 800e0cf0 --> 800e1050 -->
80122a74 --> 80122eb4 --> 80123ffc --> 801259fc -->
800c738c

I'll also attach a picture I took of the dump, which sadly only shows the Stack 
dump and Code dump completely. It is exactly the same every time.

I don't know how other's could reproduce this, so I'm going to give the 
information I have.

My Wii system menu is 4.3U for each NAND and SNEEK. I have cIOS 222, 223, 
249d2x56 version 6, and250d2x57 version 6 installed. I have Homebrew Channel 
and Homebrew Filter on the system. And the latest revision of Savegame Manager 
GX is rev 112, though I've have this same problem with rev 111. After it 
reloads, it leaves a blank configuration file in the directory, and it doesn't 
go any further.

I hope this helps out. I have no clue what to post to help out more. Let me 
know what you would need me to do.

Sadly, removing that line didn't work. I also looked the meta.xml file over, 
and saw that I didn't remove the <!-- --> lines from the file. After removing 
those and trying again, it still didn't work. It wouldn't load through cIOS 249 
or ios 58, on either Homebrew Filter or Homebrew Channel. It did work once 
before, around rev 110, but that was also before I installed the d2x cios to my 
system. Whatever the problem is, it appears to be unique to my system. I'll try 
to figure out what it is. Good thing I have S/UNEEK to help me easily test this 
all. :D

I decided to test if it was my cios 249 d2x version that was causing the issue, 
since for some reason Multi Mod Manager can't install ios using ios 58, but it 
still refused to work. I also tried to get it to run on a UNEEK emulated NAND, 
freshly made with very little mods, and no matter what I did, it would spit out 
the exact same error. The freshly made UNEEK NAND has the latest ios 58 version 
out there. I even tried it after installing a cios 249 with a base of 58, but 
it still gave the same error.

For some more detail, it would give this error right after is says 'Loading 
theme', then for a split second show the GUI, then give the error.

I've been trying it on everything I had. It doesn't want to work on the real 
NAND or the emulated one. I don't understand why it's not working, but no 
matter what I do, it would give out the exact same error messages, character 
for character.

What I find unusual is it loaded once, back when I was on rev 110 or maybe a 
few before, and when I tried to extract a save, it crashed and then it never 
could load the app again. That could mean the error is related to my save 
files, but if that was the case it shouldn't have any errors when loading a 
freshly made UNEEK NAND. I tried testing something dealing with save data, 
since all the NANDS had in common was Homebrew Filter Save data, but it still 
gave errors after I deleted that from the real NAND.

After some discussing with you in IRC, I worked on my idea, and I did discover 
the cause. It was a folder on my SD card. Specifically, the one in the root 
directory called savegames. It's what was causing the problems. When it first 
crashed, I thought it didn't do anything, but after copying files and folders 
one at a time to a formatted SD card, which was working out, I noticed the 
folder. After copying it to my SD card and trying again, I got the error. 
Removing it made the program work.

So I guess this matter is now closed, and if someone else gets this error 
themselves, they can now know what is the cause of it.

So, savegames folder cause problem if present on sd?
or if present and empty?
please, give me more details.
thx

The folder had something in it, but I didn't look too much into it. I deleted 
the folder. Best I can tell, the files in that folder were either an incomplete 
or even corrupted backup of the save data. The program couldn't handle it, and 
crashed. I don't know if the program has any error checking or if it is 
programmed to detect incomplete/corrupted backups and either ignore them or 
delete them, but either way, removing that folder solved the problem.
