Please add the ability to transfer a GameCube game from USB to SD for playing within Nintendont. The best options would be the following.

-transfer (copy) GC game to games folder on SD  upon selecting game to play additionally USB loader GX will delete transfered copy upon re-entry, allowing for one game to be on the SD at a time. This would be similar to the Wii's SD menu.

-transfer (copy) GC game to SD upon selection but USB loader GX will not automatically or request to delete game upon re-entry as to allow users to have multiple/favorite GC games on their SD ready for use.

There's already a function to copy Gamecube games from USB to SD, but it's used only when DIOS MIOS Lite is selected + trying to launch a game located on USB.

I don't see the purpose of copying a game from USB to SD with nintendont, as nintendont works fine with ISO located on either SD or USB.
Why not play the game from USB if it's already there?

the only, possible, advantage I see in doing this is for the memory card. To prevent using two different memory card if the ISO is both on SD AND on USB, and you inadvertently selected a different source in the loader to list only one device which happen to not be the one you usually select to play games.

But again, I think it would be a lot easier (and faster!) to just check if there's an existing memory card file and transfer the memory card, not the ISO.

I have an issue on Wii U in which Nintendont will stack dump when I try to emulate a memory card from the HDD. Go check out the Nintendont thread on GBATemp for further details. A Transfer to SD feature for all GC loaders would be lovely right now.

I will not add this feature as you described it, but I can ask the user if he wants to copy to SD if his HDD setup is wrong instead of forcing him to correct it.

But I find it better to force users to always use proper configured drives, or else they will continue to report issues months after months. it's better to fix it right away and be carefree afterward.

I'll close this issue when I add the transfer question to the loader.

Thanks! It's just odd, on my Wii I can load GC and Wii games from US B just fine, on Wii U I can load Wii games perfectly but GC games are fussy with USB and mem card emulation on. Being able to house my GC games on USB and copy to / delete off SD would still be better than my current Wii U situation. I appreciate the help.
