Snes9xGX can't load roms from DVD

Post by Snes10x »

Hello, I'm using Snes9x GX 4.3.7 on a Wii.

I can load roms from the sd card, but I cannot load roms from DVD.
When I try, it tries to load for a bit and then gives me the error "Error opening directory!"

The roms are in folders like:

Cdrom/SNES/USA/Gamename.zip

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Well, I've arguably made some progress on this.

I originally burnt the DVD as ISO9660 + Joliet. This time, I burnt a new one as ISO9660 only. I went with the 1999 standard of ISO9660, rather than the 1988 standard. Don't know if that's okay, but that's what I did.

Now, when it scans the disc for roms, it crashes (Exception DSI Occurred) rather than giving me the error.

I'm using HBC 1.1.0 on IOS58.

Once, I let the system wait around for a while before trying to load the DVD. This time, it didn't crash, instead it gave me the message "DVD format unrecognized" or something like that. When I hit retry, it froze on a black screen, not even the core dump.
