ULE freezes when trying to access my pendrive

[edea86]

But just randomly, not always.
It's a Kingston Data Traveler 2gb
Some emulators (PGEN and SNES) also freeze when trying to load roms from this pendrive too.
Other emulators (FCEU and PSMS) load roms from it without problems...
Any idea on why does this happen?

No detailed info, but we do know that Kingston drives always have been a problem different from all others. Apparently they use some protocol methods which are valid but uncommon among other brands.

At the main program level of uLE there is nothing we can do about this, except hope that Herben (or anyone really) improves his "usbhdfsd.irx" driver, which is the best one currently available.

Same happen here edea86.
All I do to avoid this crash is.. when you start ule, quickly point it to the pendrive. (don't browse hdd, mc, etc.. )
Usually helps.
I'm using a kingston datatraveler 4gb... brand new.
Oh, and while I'm here.. thank you again for uLaunch dlanor and ep!

Is ur pendrive FAT32 formated ?

[spkleader]

slicer74: yes, fat32 formatted.
The older, smaller kingston pendrive works fine... (datatraveler, 256mb)

As the speed of the PS2 is 1.1, it can be very long to access a 2/4 GB pendrive.

Just today I bought two of these flash drives and so far I havent had any crashes.... Will post here if I encounter any problems.

No no slicer.. it's just a second to read the pendrive fat. dlanor is right. It's something with kingston drives.. my 8gb samsung pen drive works flawles.. and it's a second to show up the contents on ule.
There's nothing wrong with uLe for this matter.

Yeh its seems Pgen, Snestation have problems with this thumb drive. SMS works fine mp3s, avi videoes work fine. Overall not a bad deal for a 10 dollar 2 gig usb flash drive

As for the pgen and snesstation part. I have a pgen with updated usb modules (and methods), as well as snesstation new patch (alphabetical sorting, updated modules, methods, new reset procedure, more realiable hdd support, few other things I don't remember right now - let me know if you need it).
