Thank you both for the welcome!

And welcome of course !

Yes, it was FAT 32 with Kluster 64. I formatted it with MiniTool Partition Wizard and it didn't work, but then I tried formatting it with the Wii Back Up Manager program (a program used to install Wii games), and it worked perfectly.

I don't know if what I'm saying is on another topic, but I'll leave it just in case.

I know, but at the moment I only have the SD Card, so I want to experiment more with this adapter.

By the way, I also realized that I need the DreamShell_bootloader_v2.7 disk to boot Dreamshell v4.0.1. So first I'll have to burn a new disk.

Each disk is good.
The disc "says" to the console to read the ide or serial port DS folder only.

You can use any version of Bootloader to boot any version of DreamShell 4.
SD Cards larger than 64GB are not guaranteed to work over serial port.
Use MBR table for volumes and create primary volume of FAT 32 with biggest cluster size.

Yes! Yesterday I did everything quickly, but today I checked everything more calmly and it works fine.

You are absolutely right, SWAT! Yesterday I got confused when the format didn't work for me and I thought it was due to the disk version. But now that I've tried it again, with the correct format and files in place, DreamShell v4.0.1 is now running with the same disk. Now I will try the games I installed.

Does anyone have a link or file with the configurations for SD Card?

By the way, it worked fine with a 128GB SanDisk micro SD over serial port.

Thank you very much, SWAT, for all the work done with Dreamshell.

In my case these games worked with GDI Optimized

Sonic Adventure International
DMA: ON, ASYNC: TRUE, FW: AUTO, MEMORY: 0x8c00100, HEAP: AUTO, OS: AUTO

Sonic Adventure 2 (I had to add the retrodream firmwares in \DS\firmware\isoldr)
DMA: OFF, ASYNC: 8, FW: 3, MEMORY: 0x8c04000, HEAP: AUTO, OS: AUTO

Toy Story 2:
DMA: OFF, ASYNC: 8, FW: AUTO, MEMORY: 0x8cFF0000, HEAP: AUTO,

Эти игры прекрасно работают и без сторонних файлов из Retrodream и с включённым DMA:
1. Sonic Adventure 2 работает с DMA пресетом: DMAon+TRUE+0x8cfe8000+Auto.
2. Toy Story 2 тоже работает с DMA пресетом: DMAon+TRUE+0x8cfe8000+Auto.
3. Но если отключить DMA, то работает с памятью 0x8c004000.
4. Что лучше: память 0x8cfe8000 + DMAon или память 0x8c004000 + DMAoff?

DMA on - лучше.
