I'm hoping someone will get a notification of this comment and repond, if they have successfully got a Neo-GeoCD game to to off a USB powered hard drive.
Here's the folder layout and files they contain in my USB HDD:
I:\bios\NEOCD.BIN
I:\neocd\3 Count Bout\ Game files and a mp3 folder with all the .mp3 files included.
I:\apps\neocd\boot.dol
I:\apps\neocd\icon.png
I:\apps\neocd\meta.xml
I:\apps\neocd\neocd.xml
neocd.xml=<section name="Storage" description="Storage Settings"> <setting name="storagedevice" value="1" description="Storage Device" /> <setting name="storagefolder" value="neocd/" description="Storage Folder" /> </section>
Now mind you, i can actually get to the settings options and change the load option from SD to USB and actually load a game "OFF THE SD CARD" I actually do not want to load anything off a SD card.
The error message i constantly get, when trying to boot neocd off the hdd via homebrew channel or a wii channel forwarder, "NO BIOS AVAILBLE!, PRESS A TO CONTINUE".
Now as you saw my file structure, it has the bios folder and bios file, included in the folder. I copied my setup for the SD card to the USB drive, exactly the way its setup on the SD card, ( which successfully booted a game and allowed me to access the settings options, so i can change from SD to USB.)
So yeah, that's my issue, For some reason, the emulator can't see or find my bios, even thought its in the directory its supposed to me in. This is as descriptive as i can get without creating a video. lol
Please someone respond, if you have gotten this emulator to work off a USB HDD. P.S. Please don't respond with telling me to just load games off the SD card...that would be very annoying and borderline trolling as i stated i want to load the games off USB, Not SD. I'm so close to getting this emulator to work
