I can't understand, what is wrong: I installed DML 1.3, 1.4b, but GC game load stops at GC loader screen; but it loads perfectly with DML r58. Both CFG and USBL checked.
Is there any real need or profits of DML 1.3+?

And one more thing: what's about banner support in CFG?

DML above 1.0 is really picky about what SD cards are used.

I had a 8GB micro sd card in an SD adapter that worked flawlessly with R59. If i tried anything above that then it would either hang at the loading screen or if it did boot the game it would error out within 1 minute.
I got a new sandisk 32GB SDHC card instead and it works perfect now with DML 1.4B

I was running out of space on the 8GB card anyway and needed to upgrade so now i have plenty of room.

Could you post the debug logfile, when everything is on the ntfs partition?

I've got the same thing as AbdallahTerro.I have an NTSC drive with all my wii games on it. I can play GC backups, but they must be on BOTH the SD card and the USB. I'm not sure if I need to post the log file, (and if so, which one exactly) or if I'm just stupid and can change an option.

Save the debug.log file in the GUI menu: settings->debug->save debug
Then post it.

according to the logfile, the loader detects 2 games on the NTFS drive.
when you start one of this games, it should be automatically copied to the sd card.
works that?

Yeah that works, and I can load it up after that no problem. Is that how it's supposed to work, and I'm stupid? Or can the GC games run directly off the USB, because I only have a 1 Gb SD card and dont want to delete the game every time I want to play another one...

[R2-D2199]

Yes, thats the way it should work.
DML supports only loading from SD cards.
You can try mod r34 which should automatically delete the game on the sd card when you select another game from the hdd.

[personofthefurby]

So take up USB loading with the DML team huh? I feel like that feature would help out a lot.
Automatically deleting them helps too. Great job and thank you! Keep up the awesome work.Running gamecube games is the best feature yet as my disk drive is broken.
The only problem I have with it copying to the SD card is the time it takes. I know it's not your fault, but its just a hassle.

[Maxternal]

I'm sure the biggest problem with auto-deleting is when you have several games on SD and knowing which one to delete.
My first idea of how to deal with this is to first limit it to the ones that are also on USB (to avoid getting rid or someone's only copy of the game image) and then go by play count and delete the least played ones first or perhaps just leaving the most recently played ones on. Finally, prompt the user what to do if there just isn't enough room doing it that way.

having an option of auto-delete on/off, of course, would be good and it would be nice, even then, to give the user a friendly little message showing them which games are being deleted would be nice just to give them the heads up.
