Hacking DSTWO plugin menu extra files

[JustChillin1414]

I have a problem... When I boot my DSTWO up and it gets to the plugin screen I see the actual plugin example: GBA Emu and I also get a file that says . _gba.plg so I end up with the picture of the plugin then a blank space and then another plugin and another blank space ect. Is there anyway to fix this? It doesn't cause any problems, it's just really annoying.

I've got the same problem too...

I asked on the supercard forums and this is the answer that fixed it.

I'm guess you are using Mac OS. These files are garbage that end up on your card from Copying / Pasting with Finder.
The easiest way to remove them that I know of is to use the terminal.

This is a terminal-related fix, and should be used with caution. (typos could result in losing the wrong files)

Go to Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app
type the following commands, followed by enter after each line.

1. cd /Volumes/[name of your SC memory card]/

Copy Code
Now you should be in the root of your (micro)SD card.
Type the following

1. ls -al _dstwoplug/

Copy Code
You should be presented with a list of items, some of which all begin with ._
These are the garbage files, but these aren't the ones bothering you. Now type...

1. rm _dstwoplug/._*

Copy Code
Cheers,

Basically the files are hidden files that Mac OS X puts on the card during file transfer. Just delete all files beginning with ._ using those commands. Hope this solves your problems too!
