Steps to reproduce:
1. Have a memory card in the system with some number of empty blocks (call that 
number n)
2. Launch GCMM, select your sd card/hard drive and go to Restore
3. Attempt to restore a backed up save exactly n blocks large.

Expected behaviour:
GCMM copies the save file to the memory card.

Observed behaviour:
The restore fails, showing this error: "MemCard Error: -6 - File/Dir entry 
broken"

Additional information:
I haven't yet been able to test this with a non-empty memory card. My memory 
card is official by Nintendo and has a capacity of 59 blocks. I encounter this 
issue with my save from Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire. That game creates saves 
that are 59 blocks large, so I ran into this while trying to restore to an 
empty card. I believe the same behaviour would occur if, say, there were 55 
used blocks and I tried to restore a save that was 4 blocks large, but I don't 
know this for sure.

Cause:
I don't know for sure that this is the cause, though I have a pretty good idea.

In the __card_allocblock function of card.c is the following code:

/*
  Since testing free space has already been done, if all the blocks
  the file takes up cannot be entered into the FAT, something is
  wrong.
*/
count++;
if(count>=((card->blocks)-CARD_SYSAREA)) return CARD_ERROR_BROKEN;

// blah blah blah

This code makes sure that you don't step over the end of the card's capacity 
while allocating blocks. However, it's slightly overzealous: 
"count>=((card->blocks)-CARD_SYSAREA)" is true if the current block is the last 
one on the card.

Proposed fix:
I've attached a modified card.c to this issue. The only change is in line 732 
(the one referred to above). "count>=[snip]" has been changed to 
"count>[snip]". This ensures that the error isn't encountered until the code is 
thinking about a block that actually doesn't exist.

This fix allowed me to restore my Pokémon Box save, but I haven't tested it 
beyond that. It could cause bugs elsewhere in the code, though I personally 
doubt that very much. (To be fair, I don't know anything. This fix is the first 
non-"Hello World" C I've ever written. You probably shouldn't trust me.)

inject/extract saves from/to NMM saves used by diosmios
http://code.google.com/p/diosmios/

A wip patch for gcs/sav support, for some reason that I am still looking
into it fails at line 189 immediately, which seems odd because I haven't
changed anything before it...

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. attempt to do a raw restore of card
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
to write 1019 blocks. Error! _sectorerase failed for unknown reason at sector 0!

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.4a on Wii 4.3U

Please provide any additional information below.
The flash and serial numbers match as well as the size. Cannot figure out the 
issue.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have both a ntsc and pal savegame for the same game on one memory card.
2. Try and backup the 2nd(pal) savegame

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect it to copy the pal save like it will with the ntsc but instead it 
either copies the ntsc file or nothing at all. Work around is copy ntsc then 
delete off the memory card and sd before backing up pal.(may work with just 
deleting off memory card but didn't want to lose data). NuGaSa had same issue.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use Debian with only free packages
2. Try using unrar-free package
3. Extracting RARv3 can only be extracted by unrar non-free package.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The files properly being extracted

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Uname: Linux 3.10-2-amd64 Debian 3.10.7-1 (2013-08-17) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Unrar-free version: unrar 0.0.1

Please provide any additional information below.
Peazip has a good discussion about this. Apparently, the unar utility can be 
used on Debian, but unar is written in Objective-C, and RARv3 is a proprietary 
format and should be avoided anyway. Consider using 7-Zip's format (.7z) and 
.tar.gz for source files.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Press Y while Official Nintendo GC memnory card in slot B
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Save file on Nintendo memory card; Mount Error -5

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0; 3.2U


Please provide any additional information below.
There is a way to write from sdcard to official Nintendo Memory card.

i try compiling svn 38 but i got this error i have use 
libogc_libfat_portlibs_1.1.rar pack but is still can't compile how i can fix it 
sorry for repost ^^bbb

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create save for GPZJ01 with NMM
2. Take GPZJ01 folder with nmm save inside and drag to nmm2gci.exe

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected a converted GCI, instead it gives me the error:
Failed to open:"âjâôâeâôâhü[âpâYâïâRâîâNâVâçâô"
No such file or directory

However, the file "âjâôâeâôâhü[âpâYâïâRâîâNâVâçâô" does 
exist, and after testing/editing the code, I figured out that the program is 
actually trying to open a file called 
"ƒjƒ“ƒeƒ“ƒh�[ƒpƒYƒ‹ƒRƒŒƒNƒVƒ‡ƒ“", which is the 
filename encoded in Windows-1252, instead of CP437.

Of course, the actual filename is supposed to be 
ニンテンドーパズルコレクション encoded in Shift-JIS, but NMM 
saves it using CP437 (âjâôâeâôâhü[âpâYâïâRâîâNâVâçâô).

A similar problem exists in gci2nmm, except it will fully convert and give an 
incorrect filename which NMM won't read 
(ƒjƒ“ƒeƒ“ƒh�[ƒpƒYƒ‹ƒRƒŒƒNƒVƒ‡ƒ“).  Renaming it fixes 
the issue.

I attached a modified version of nmm2gci and gci2nmm which fixes the issue by 
checking for the gameName GPZJ, and giving the appropriate filename based on 
that.

Ghost data in mario kart: double dash

Original filename                 : 5"Q-!)5N36!!!!41IBSFA&E>*2(-!aa
NMM filesystem compatible filename: 5 Q-!)5N36!!!!41IBSFA&E  2(-!aa

"*> are replaced by spaces

The following chars are replaced by NMM with spaces:

\/*|?<>":

Can you please update to the newer library files available eg. libgcc and can 
you possibly update for using usb devices in addition to sd cards?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Back up a gamesave to SD.
2. Delete that save in memory card.
3. Restore the backed up save to memory card.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected to see the same file.  Yet instead what I would have is a
corrupted save, both in the app and the save manager in Wii.  Game doesn't
load save.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The game was "Tales of Symphonia".
The memory card is a cheapo 128MB bought from dealextreme

Please provide any additional information below.
-I haven't try other memory cards.
-Saves obtained from gamefaqs.com do not work either.
-Backing up saves works; it's just upon restoring the save becomes corrupt.
 The "D" serial numbers (the serial found below the game name in the app,
checksum?) of the backed up save and the restored save do not match (from a
leading 1 serial number to a 4xxxxxxx... ).
-Used NuGaSa, exact same thing happens.  Although... I'm not sure what
happened but it worked once with the game "Fire Emblem" but then after that
it doesn't work anymore.
-Other than this the memory card works fine under normal condition.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Put the GameCube gcmm.dol in the root of the sd and create a folder called 
"MCBACKUP".

2. Insert the sd into the SDML SD Card Reader and put it into Slot A with a 
memory card (InterAct's Mega Memory 4x)in Slot B.

3. Insert the SDML disk into the GameCube and close the lid.

4. Select the gcmm.dol from the list and boot it.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expected to see the files on the memory card and an option to switch between 
the SDML SD Card Reader and the memory card. Instead, I got a blue screen with 
a white background with the controls on the side with text that said something 
like "Select Boot Mode".

V1 On Gamecube DOL-001

Please provide any additional information below.

What I want to do is get the action replay 1.5b config/options/codelist file 
from the memory card and edit it using my computer without having to type it 
manually. I tried to use Swiss and SD-Boot to use cheats, but it appears to 
only work on GameCube ISOs (GCM) and DOL files (I think). It won't work on 
retail games. Can someone help me on this issue. Thanks.

Nintendont uses a format not supported by GCMM.
It would be very usefull if GCMM could convert to and from the Nintendont 
formsat.

https://code.google.com/p/nintendon-t/source/list

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Make RAW backup.
2.Try to restore the same RAW backup.
3.Get this error message: "Error! _sectorirase failed for unknown reasons at 
sector 0!"

This happened today with v1.4a and I downloaded the newest version 1.4b but the 
same. I tried older version 1.3 and it seems to works fine. No Errors and works 
as expect (games load files as normal).

RAW backup was made with 1.4a and restored with 1.3.

Also tried to make another RAW backup with 1.4b (on empty/formated memory card) 
and restore with the same 1.4b version - again this error.

After hours of digging through the Internet, I could not find a way to copy my 
GC Action Replay save from my USB device to my Action Replay adapter in Slot B 
of my Wii.

This is the only app that I saw that might support it in the future. Any plans?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.put the sd card in the sd slot
2.

__card_getfilenum uses strnicmp instead of simply stricmp, this causes 
incorrect behavior when two files have similar filenames e.g, gczelda (TWW) and 
gczelda2 (TP)

Here is a patch that corrects this behavior:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21757902/card_c_strnicmp.patch

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Run gcmm
2.Select usb as destination
3.Backup something
4.Have a damaged partition

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The saves should be saved to the first fat32 partition of my two(one fat32, the 
other ntfs).
Instead my first partition is damaged and displays weird symbols for its 
content that has wrong file information too, also the size of the whole fat32 
partition is now wrong.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest, 1.4c

Please provide any additional information below.

Please provide any additional information below.
I don't know what I am doing wrong. I can't convert GCI to Dat either

When I try to back up my new save while having an older one on my SD it makes a 
copy instead of copying over it, making it confusing which file to restore and 
which to delete, I'm on version 1.4a btw!

Few suggestions:

1- Make it when you back up a new save to over right over the old one, maybe 
add in a confirmation message too.

2- Add an option to delete saves from the SD/USB.

3- Maybe change the design to make it more like Wii Save Manager GX (more user 
friendly) like add a cursor to click on icons and a menu appears with 
instal/copy/delete... etc!

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It Shows the memory card in slot a is not supported please insert a new memory 
card

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
