CHECK IF YOUR ISSUE ALREADY EXISTS BEFORE MAKING A NEW ONE. "USE SEARCH"
Please give here as much information as you can.

I have been using the usb loader gx for about 2 weeks now. I love it. I
absolutely love it. (Best loader ever).

I recently tried playing a game on it and it would not even open. I was
using the [r814], and also using a channel. I would load the gx and it would
see my games on my HDD, but then I would get an error message:

libpng warning: Ignoring bad adaptive filter type.
libpng warning: Ignoring bad adaptive filter type.
libpng warning: Ignoring bad adaptive filter type.
libpng warning: Ignoring bad adaptive filter type.
libpng error: read error
abort called

I have uninstalled the wad and reinstalled it. I have deleted the app and
installed it again. I have tried other revisions. I can't get the damn
thing working again.

I love this Loader. PLEASE help.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Use loader through HBC
2.Use loader through Channel installed
3.Uninstall Channel/loader (through HBC) and it will still give same results.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Please work. Like before....

What revision of the USB Loader GX are you using? (exact number, don't say
"latest") 814
On what operating system (IOS/Firmware/System)?
3.3U cios38 rev14
Please provide any additional information below.
Note: Please avoid attaching too big files if not really needed.

I guess this problem started after you updated some covers. The error about libpng
tells you that one or more image files are invalid. Unfortunately, we cannot handle
these errors correctly sometimes, resulting in a crash.

Please try to rename/delete you cover directory, or find the invalid cover. Report
back here if this fixed your issue.

Deleting the corrupt image and redownloading it will fix this crash, but the loader seems to be absolutely terrible at handling a bad png. I ended up fixing it by reloading the loader every time i nailed down a bad png, deleting it and redownloading it.

The loader needs some better error handling or to throw up some sort of BAD PNG image or something, instead of crashing.
