Swiss fails to detect SD2SP2 & SDGecko
Model: DOL-001 PAL Swiss Versions Tested: r743, r747, r748, r766 (Latest) SD Card Sizes Tested: 32GB, 4GB, 2GB Loading Methods Tested: Datel SD Media Launcher Disc, swiss_r###(pal).iso
Multiple versions of Swiss are failing to detect the SD2SP2 or SDGecko plugged into my Gamecube, This happens when loaded directly via a Swiss DVD, or via SDGecko via SD Media Launcher. It will initially detect either device as being inserted, but will fail to load any content off of either. The SDGecko can be temporarily fixed by unplugging/replugging and re-mounting, however it will not let you save the config to the SD after.
After going through 6 different SD cards, I found one that seems to work with r748 and the SD2SP2.
All cards are Micro SD , formatted to fat32, and using the same Micro SD to SD Adapter where applicable. All of these cards are known-working and have been used for various other purposes previously. Tested using an Swiss r748 DVD.

For the ones where I got the DOL to load, the flag for SD A/B/SP2 was 1, and the _ioWPFlag was 0 every time. (I had the other SD Devices unplugged while testing)
These results are quite curious, but I guess I haven't found my unicorn yet. Thank you for your time.
Once I found one that worked. I was just going to chalk it up to compatibility and maybe some dying SD cards. Thanks for looking into it.
Can confirm (tested saving Swiss config to SD2SP2):
Toshiba 2GB: fail Toshiba 4GB: fail Kingston 2GB: fail Samsung EVO 32GB: pass
