Myself and @zwolf64 were encountering issues with RVLoader corruption with Hiidra, etc. After rewiring the USB multiple times on Trimmed Wiis it still wouldn't work. Results of data corruption are posted below. We were both using the SanDisk Ultra Fit 3.1 (128 & 256GB variants) and both on separate occasions encountered the same results. Reformatting the USB will still result in the same issue(s).
All drives tested were used with the PMS-PD 2.
I've tested a variety of USB to Micro SD Adapters with Micro SD cards from PNY, and that fixed the issues that were present.
Tested Micro SD Cards:
PNY 32GB Elite
PNY 256GB PRO Elite
Issues with corruption (with SanDisk):
Corruption is always present when the GCPMap_S.TAR folder is in the root of the drive.
We used a new test build of RVLoader and the current (as of 3/21/24) version which is RVLoader 1.6. Swapping to PNY Micro SD cards fixed the issues in both versions 100% of the time.
Note:
Other Micro SD cards are probably fine to use as well, these are the ones that I just tested.
