@mrneo240 I have not seen this issue before.
App should copy the contents from menu_gdi folder, then generate iso and override it on sd card.
Anyway thanks for the workaround. I will need to investigate this issue.
EDIT: Found it. Happens when CDI version of menu is on the card. I will look for a fix later.

Re: GDMENU Card Manager
The file you shared isn't a gdi, it's a cdi. Seems to be the same one I've been using.mrneo240 wrote:I ran into this very issue in testing the app for which one to fork.
You can easily fix this (at least in my testing) by downloading this version of the gdmenu gdi
http://www.mediafire.com/download/xb9of ... -2016).zip
Then replacing your 01 folder with that, hit preload in GDMENUCardManager and then save. It should successfully recover and be fine from then onwards
I tried it anyway and it's changed the fault. Now it's selecting random folders to say it can't read.

Re: GDMENU Card Manager
I can confirm that worked. GDMENU Card Manager is now generating the correct gdi files and working on my DC flawlessly ^_^mrneo240 wrote:I ran into this very issue in testing the app for which one to fork.

Re: GDMENU Card Manager
hi, i'm trying to use this on linux but i can't seem to get it to identify my SD card, is there some particular permissions or mount point that it's expecting?
EDIT: I tried to mount it to /media and /run/media but no go

Re: GDMENU Card Manager
Card is FAT32?
It should list cards mounted on "/media/" or "/run/media/"

Re: GDMENU Card Manager
yup, card is definitely fat32. I can make it work under a virtualbox VM in windows, but for some reason it doesn't detect a card on linux, very strange. I may play around some more, but is there no way to make it just dump to any folder?
I actually meant /media and /run/media in my last post, I typoed that....I was looking at the conditional in the code to try and figure out if there's any specific mountpoints.

Re: GDMENU Card Manager
What is your linux distro? I only tested on a ubuntu VM.
Do you have any dev skills? Would you help debug it?

Sure, I'd love to help debug it. I actually was trying to modify the conditionals around the drive list and rebuild it, but I wasn't able to get it to build on linux with mono, and I didn't have enough time last night to dig any deeper.
One thing I will say - the /media and /run/media is likely an ubuntu specific thing, I don't think those mount points are universal across other distros. In fact, /media is my storage array on my NAS server, fortunately it doesn't conflict on this PC, but, I think it would definitely make sense to be able to specify any folder to dump to, as linux is much less defined in terms of mount points in general.
