Wii and Hard Drives

[MeXen]

Reviving this, guess what, i was playing some Metroid Fusion on mGBA, i let the game rest for 30 minutes, i resume playing, when to save NORMALLY (no save stating), and the whole thing, (emulator and Wii) halted and sustain the note for like 20 seconds before saving, then i saved again and the whole thing just locked, so i had to turn it off, now half of my ROM files from my gba folder was deleted and i get this crap!

Is there ANY WAY to fix this or i need to resign, nuke the thumbdrive and go back to my backups again?

I think i am seriously thinking on start investing on a RetroPi4 instead.

The funny thing is, everything else on my USB drive seems to be fine, all the rest of my ROMs are intact from the other systems, and so far none of the files seems to be corrupted or hollow.

It just happened on the GBA folder.

Consider yourself lucky. I had a whole USB hard drive corrupt in similar fashion from Snes9x. Currentlyplayedgamefilename.garbage corrupt file replacing the entire drive structure after the freeze.

I wondered in the past if there's a nasty bug in libogc (or some other library/middleware?)'s save/menu implementation that's consequently lurking in a lot of the emulators. I'm predominately using RA emulators now in an abundance of prejudice.
