@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.

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

The file you shared isn't a gdi, it's a cdi. Seems to be the same one I've been using.
I tried it anyway and it's changed the fault. Now it's selecting random folders to say it can't read.

I can confirm that worked. GDMENU Card Manager is now generating the correct gdi files and working on my DC flawlessly ^_^

I fixed the problem when loading the menu in cdi format.
If you want to update your fork too

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

Card is FAT32?
It should list cards mounted on "/media/" or "/run/media/"

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.

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

I'm using arch linux.

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.
