Have you tested whether this works on your desktop machine?

Yes, it worked under Win32 and PSP ports (version 0.13.0)

Thanks!

Hm, works for me, on v0.13.0 and trunk. There's a video sequence, and I could enter the command centre after that.
I guess its crashing when opening/loading that video, did you recompress the video files? Please check if the files on the SD card are present/okay.

dhewg, did you test it under Wii's port? As I've mentioned, it works great under Win32 and PSP versions. On windows, I even used the files directly from the SD Card used in the Wii, and nothing weird happened. It still crashes under Wii though.

Yes, of course I tested it with the Wii port ;)
It's hard to say why it doesn't work for you, especially since you have tested exactly those files with other ports.
I can only guess, but maybe libfat (resposible for SD card access) hates your SD card. This hint comes from other Wii homebrew projects:
This formatting tool seems to fix various SD related problems for users: http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/sd_formatter.html
Can you try that?

Hi dhewg!

Just used the tool you suggested me, it didn't the trick. Same problem (I'm attaching a video).

I'm guessing it's something similar with the problem I'm facing in The Secret of Monkey Island CD-ROM version: if the audio is OGG, I can't pass the first scene. If I convert the OGG files to MP3, everything goes ok.

I'm also attaching a text file which contains a list of files for The Dig game inside the SD Card. If you know what particular media file refers to that crash, please let me know then I can try to convert it to another format (MP3?).

Thanks!

Even with .ogg files, it just works fine for me, - I cannot reproduce this :(
Do you remember which ogg encoder you used?
Just another wild guess: again, multiple fixed went into libfat, did you try a recent snapshot? (http://buildbot.scummvm.org/snapshots/trunk/wii-trunk-latest.tar.bz2)

Can you please check if the encoder you used for those ogg files has written its name and version to the meta flags? You can check that with e.g. winamp.
Also, please try to encode the original files with a recent oggenc, and then try those fresh files with the Wii port.

Thanks!

Hi! Sorry I didn't reply early. I was on vacations. Ok, I couldn't check the ogg meta flags nor convert them to new ogg files using a new encoder. But I did convert it to MP3 and... problem solved! It looks like all my ogg files are encoded in some martian way. Thanks for your time and keep up the great work!
