Hi dj_skual,
Is there any chance that SGM-GX might work in unattended scenario?
Something like this:
- without any user intervention/help
- extract all saves from Wii
- saves them in compressed form 7z/zip
- in folder sd:/whatever
- under name YYYYMMDD-HHMM
- wait 5s then quit to HBC
- pushing data to ftp/smb/http-form/nfs share is optional
I've tried to use SGM-GX and encountered following problems:
1.
Is there any special magic required to browse SD (non SDHC) card under SGM-GX?
"Reload SD" icon does nothing. Screen only fades out/in very fast.
From top menu i can only choose "usb1/Wii/Mii".
SGM-GX uses IOS249 which is d2x v8 IOS56 based.
This is main SD card which works under HBC/Cfg/BootMii/d2x installer.
There is no partition table on card (super floppy mode) so I guess it might be accessed "sd:/" instead of "sd1:/".
SGM-GX fails to run when no usb device is present (only my SD card).
WindowPrompt(tr("Error:"), tr("No Storage Device Found"), tr( "OK" ));
2.
Another issue is related to "custom paths" from "settings menu".
I'm unable to clear current path, letter "u" stays from "usb1:/".
Even hitting "clear" icon won't help.
Thanks for help.
edit1: added fsck of my SD card
edit2: added no usb scenario

i don't think it is something i will add to the app, but post a request on the googlecode issue page, i will keep that in mind
please, try a fresh install of the app on your sd and load with official channel or HBC (you can find thoses files on the google code download page)
and if the problem with your card is not fixed, please report the issue on the googlecode issue page.
thx for your report.
Please define fresh word:
- new one from ebay. sd or sdhc? kingston/sandisk? what capacity?
- empty without any other files
- formatted different way, for eg. fat32, with partition table
Please also note that my SD card in current state works fine under: HBC/Cfg_usb_loader/BootMii/d2x_installer.
before done anything, please, try to boot WiiXplorer from your SD card.
if wiixplorer boot, report to me, if wiixplorer don't boot, there is a problem with your card.
by "fresh", i think a fresh formatted FAT card with only the complete HBC_Setup_R123.zip extracted on the root.
try with sd or sdhc but it work with both at home.
Wiiexplorer r212 was unable to show SD content.
First change. Formatted using default cluster size.
Code:
#mkfs.vfat -I -F16 /dev/sde
# fsck.vfat -rv /dev/sde

Second try. Made partition table on card:

Code:

/dev/sde1: 0 files, 0/59990 clustersWiiexplorer and GSM-GX were able to see card. I made save backup on card. Worked fine.
Looks like my card is supported from SD protocol standpoint but there is some bug in libfat module (?) which prevents accessing card when formatted in partition less mode (aka superfloppy mode).
Regards,
mike333.
happy to see you have find the problem.
i don't know anymore about libfat module, you can look the lib i use here (LibFat) and if you can find a fix to the problem, that will be a very good thing.
or perhaps here: DeviceControl
I'm reading https://code.google....itionHandle.cpp and looks like superfloppy mode case is not supported at all.
At end of PartitionHandle:
artitionHandle I would change a bit:
Code:
FindPartitions();
// sometimes there is no partition table
if ( PartitionList.size() == 0 )
{
FindPartitions_detectsuperfloppymode();
}
}
Code:
void PartitionHandle::FindPartitions_detectsuperfloppymode()
{
char * name;
u8 part_type;
u8 buffer[BYTES_PER_SECTOR];
//read first (0) sector of device
if (!interface->readSectors(0, 1, buffer))
return;
//detect supported filesystems
if((memcmp(buffer + 0x36, "FAT", 3) == 0 || memcmp(buffer + 0x52, "FAT", 3) == 0) &&
strncmp(PartFromType(part_type), "FAT", 3) != 0) // what is this additional check for?
{
name = "FAT32";
part_type = 0x0c;
}
else if (memcmp(buffer + 0x03, "NTFS", 4) == 0)
{
name = "NTFS";
part_type = 0x07;
}
else
{
//nothing interesting found
return;
}
//lets add this "partition"
int part = PartitionList.size();
PartitionList.resize(part+1);
PartitionList[part].FSName = name;
PartitionList[part].LBA_Start = 0;
PartitionList[part].SecCount = sector_count_of_whole_device;
PartitionList[part].Bootable = false;
PartitionList[part].PartitionType = part_type;
// dunno about these fields
PartitionList[part].PartitionNum = part_num; // I guess "1"
PartitionList[part].EBR_Sector = EBR_Sector;
}Should I get some achievement for coding at Saturday night?
Turbonerd?
@[member='mike333']:
thx for the code suggestion.
a question, i need to know if that "superfloppymode" is only available for SD or USB too?

perhaps you have time to finish your code and send me a patched file...
then i will compile a custom version and send you the dol to test with your card.
