So no one's gonna help me with my Megaman Anniversary Collection problem..?
This one works fine on Devolution for me, I can test it on DM if you would like...
Interestingly enough, it ends up being that the untouched ISO image that was what finally got it working for them (the same thing that devolution requires anyhow)

You should always start testing the game in 1:1 format.
Then you can try modifying the iso, compressing, extracting, aligning, etc.

Some games don't work when they are not 1:1

I need some help with Baten Kaitos. I am able to load the game fine but I am unable to save. It recognizes that I have a memory card in slot A but when i save, the bar that shows save progress stops moving. The game doesn't appear to freeze though since the sound continues. I am using DML 2.2 and DML booter svn r30 (the latest version). I have default settings with NMM mode on.

does it work with NMM mode off? some games just don't work with NMM
I dont actually have a memory card. According to http://crediar.no-ip.com/gc/, baten kaitos should work with nmm though.
According to that compatibility list, I take it you're more specifically using "Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean" NTSC version although it does show it as being tested with v2.0 so it's still possible that v2.2 broke compatibility for that. Have you tried older versions of DML to see if they work by chance?

Better yet, anyone ELSE have a copy of that game and willing to confirm if it's working or not with v2.2? EDIT : With NMM (forgot that detail)

Works no problem for me.

Does it work with NMM? (since in his case, he doesn't own a memory card)

I have no experience in Hard Drives, but I belive mine is this one http://www.walmart.c...indingMethod=rr however I'm still not sure if it's not compatible or if I'm just doing something wrong because in every other way the hard drive works just fine including copying GC isos to the SD and I JUST tried Dios Mios USB recently so it could be that I did something wrong.

Man this really sucks, I was looking forward USB compatibility but now the image is fading away, any help for getting this to work will be greatly appreciated :(
Can you run a search for Toshiba Canvio and see if other people have had similar problems/solutions?
It's so weird that you don't get the splash screen. It suggest the problem might not even be the drive. I wonder if you need a clean BC or that sort of thing.

I still have to test using DML Boater then I'll get back to you, I have a feeling maybe something in the settings in USB Loader GX is incorrect, but it does work fine with DML 2.2 just not DM 2.2 not even the splash screen appears, I really want it to work :'(

Well, remember that DML loads games from the SD card, and does nothing with the hard drive. Therefore, the fact that it works with DML and not DM does not really tell you anything about hard drive compatibility.

Well I just tried DML Booter with DM 2.2 and I get black screen too, I will try a flash drive some time later, if it turns out it's the Hard Drive I may have to switch to my 500GB LG hard drive, although it won't be easy to switch to that, maybe I should just stick with DML 2.2!

In other news, can anyone tell me where to get that Phantasy Star Online Episodes 1&2 hack that works with DM/DML 2.2?

I just tried a flash drive formatted to FAT32 32K Cluster, I still get black screen, both USBLoader GX "including the new non-released one, thanks Cyan, btw it works great ;)" and DML Boater, it's definitely not the Hard Drive being non-compatible then but it must be something wrong with the way I install Dios Mios, I guess I have no other choice then but to go back to Dios Mios Lite 2.2!

DM doesn't like you.
Don't give up, dude.
