Ive been running all my emulators from SD card for a long time. I recently moved them all to my hard drive that I was previously only using for Wii and GC games.

FCEUGX and Genplus both work great from the HD, but Snes9x gx freezes up in the main screen after about 15 seconds. It runs flawlessly from the SD card though. Im using a cover mod version 4.3.1, I mainly use the forwarder channel, but it does this whether I use the forwarder channel or launch it from HBC.

Hard drive is in FAT32 format, 32k clusters, MBR partition table.

Does it work with the official release: https://github.com/dborth/snes9xgx ?
Also, does it work wih the RX fork: https://github.com/niuus/Snes9xRX ?
If yes it's probably something introduced by this unofficial release, I use the official releases and it works fine from my HDD.

Im using a cover mod version 4.3.1, I think it has something to do with the cover mod as research brings up more people with the same problem. I switched to the 4.3.2 version in Xflac's ModMii bundle and it runs just fine, but doesnt support the cover art. Cover art is more important to me than running from the hard drive, so I switched back and will just keep running it from my sd card.

No biggie.

Yeah, the cover support is usually hacked around by other developers, you could try to track down the developer responsible for the mod and see if he's aware of this problem.

    I'd love it if the switch 2 became my main future device but most just have shit titles that don't make it worth it when I could drop money on other titles that get my interest
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Switch 2 will be your most powerful handheld (most likely) but Nintendo has always been a generation behind Sony/ Xbox, so doubt it will get the newest of games, n if it does, will be a watered down version, like Switch 1 got
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Most powerful hardly series x specs will still crap on it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most powerful handheld I said. I imagine it won't last long tho, ROG or Steamdeck 2 will prob overpower it. I will prob buy a switch2 tho, gotta have that Mariokart 9.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I kinda doubt that also Asus will keep releasing or if Xbox doesn't come out with some handheld by then
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Og switch was kind of the first most powerful option for it's portability time

    Same old stuff gets so played out kind of like smartphones now
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm thinking of selling my current drum machine, piano keyboard, and few synthesizers, and buy a new $699 drum machine/ workstation. Downsize but upgrade. But like any device, ill never get the money I paid into it. Hard to let stuff go for half what you paid.

    @K3Nv3, just my opinion but more games on the platform does increase the odds of some of them being awesome
