Cannot load from USB
Issue #205
invalid
Original [issue 205](https://code.google.com/p/genplus-gx/issues/detail?id=205) created by Sarkie on 2012-02-05T22:04:16.000Z:
What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Have the App on a USB HDD (500gb) 2. Load it 3.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Meant to load it. It just stays black and nothing happens.
What version of the emulator are you using (official, SVN revision,...)?
1.6.0 and I got the latest SVN build and built it and same thing.
Please provide any additional information below (Emulator settings, Console setting,...)
HBC is running IOS37. If I run the app off the SD Card, it can read the files on the USB HDD fine. Not sure if I can add some logging to see what it's actually doing.

Cool thanks for the reply, its just the Snes, WiiSX and Wii64 all work correctly. I'll check those options tonight. Cheers.

Btw, it's not clear if you are loading from HBC or from a dedicated channel, please confirm you are loading from HBC.

It's from the HBC with all apps on a FAT32 partition of a 500gb hard drive, second partition is NTFS.

Well, the emulator does not care about where it is loaded from so if it does not start, it's more an issue with the loader itself.
Some stuff you might try:
1) remove the line <no\_ios\_reload> from the file usb:/apps/genplus/meta.xml and see if by any chances it works better.
2) try to replace usb:/apps/genplus/boot.dol with the file genplus\_wii.dol included in the 1.6.0 release archive, renamed to boot.dol off course.
3) as stated in the faq on this site, install IOS58 (either look for a specific installer, use DOP-Mii or do a full system update) then reinstall HBC so it uses IOS58 instead.
USB compatibilty is a lot hit-and-miss and sadly, there is not much we can do as homebrew developer as it fully relies on the low-level libraries we are using. Black screen on application load though generally means a missing or stub IOS is being loaded, but the application itself does not reload IOS, and still start even if no config files are found on load device.
