Loooong time for HBC to start

This only started happening recently. Previously, when I started the Homebrew Channel, I would see the SD card image and the apps would appear immediately. Now, with 1.0.3 (I don't know if it is a version thing or not), after selecting the HBC, my screen will stay black, sometimes for up to 30 seconds, before the SD card loading image occurs. Is there something on my card that may be slowing it down? I'll have to try starting the HBC without the card plugged in to see if that has an affect. But if it doesn't, what else can I do to shorten this delay?

Thanks,
Steve

Anybody? This is really annoying.

Lol, sorry. I don't know how to help you. Is it an SDHC card? Also, if you have bootmii as boot2, does it do the same thing if you launch it from bootmii?

Sounds like IOS 60 problem... What System Menu are you running?

WiiSCU

Put the boot.dol from this app on the root of your SD card, and load it using bannerbomb. Once you've gotten into the app, update IOS 60. Then, uninstall/reinstall the homebrew channel with the hackmii installer.

Do I have to put it at the root, or can I run it from the HBC?

Lol, sorry. You can run it from the HBC. Sorry. :P

Tried installing IOS60 (+Trucha; was that correct?) and reinstalling HBC. No luck.

Tried going to HBC from bootmii. No luck.

I timed the delay. It's usually exactly 30 seconds, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. Something is timing out before HBC can load. Any ideas what else I can check? I'm at 4.0.

Steve

Try installing IOS60 without trucha and then uninstalling and reinstalling the Homebrew Channel.

No luck. It still takes too long to start HBC. After uninstalling HBC, do I have to leave Hackmii, reboot, and come back before reinstalling HBC? Does that make any difference?

I don't understand why I'm the only person with this problem.

I believe this is because the libfat used in 1.0.3 is actually significantly slower for some SD Cards than others. There's really nothing you can do for this except wait for the next release of the HBC.

Maybe, but I even tried it with no SD card in the slot, and the same thing happened!

Ah, now that's interesting. Try that again, but this time without any gamecube memory cards or stuff in the USB ports plugged in and tell me what happens.

Well, what do you know! I had a Gamecube SD Gecko adaptor in. As soon as I removed it, HBC would come right up! But I didn't even have an SD card in the adaptor. I thought SD Gecko was just wires, no detection circuit (like a pull-up or pull-down). But I guess HBC was trying to read it even with no SD card in it.
