pk3ds incorrectly throwing "Folder does not contain an 'a' folder in the top level" on ext4 filesystems

[ImperatorStorm]

pk3ds is incorrectly throwing "Folder does not contain an 'a' folder in the top level" despite the dump folder meeting requirements.
running via mono

$ tree -a .

The program also checks the count of files in the folders; are you sure you have dumped all the files for the game you are trying to load?

Assuming https://github.com/Asia81/HackingToolkit9DS-Deprecated- worked correctly, yes.

Valid file counts within the a* folders:

pk3DS/pk3DS.Core/Game/GameConfig.cs

Lines 12 to 17 in 94f23bb

	private const int FILECOUNT_XY = 271;
	private const int FILECOUNT_ORASDEMO = 301;
	private const int FILECOUNT_ORAS = 299;
	private const int FILECOUNT_SMDEMO = 239;
	private const int FILECOUNT_SM = 311;
	private const int FILECOUNT_USUM = 333;

i've got exactly 299 files in a

Here's the logic that checks for the existence of the a folder:

pk3DS/pk3DS/Main.cs

Lines 504 to 528 in dfdbce7

	private bool CheckIfRomFS(string path)
	{
	string[] top = Directory.GetDirectories(path);
	FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(top[top.Length > 1 ? 1 : 0]);
	// Check to see if the folder is romfs
	if (fi.Name == "a")
	{
	string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
	var cfg = CheckGameType(files);
	if (cfg == null)
	{
	RomFSPath = null;
	Config = null;
	WinFormsUtil.Error("File count does not match expected game count.", "Files: " + files.Length);
	return false;
	}
	RomFSPath = path;
	Config = cfg;
	return true;
	}
	WinFormsUtil.Error("Folder does not contain an 'a' folder in the top level.");
	RomFSPath = null;
	return false;

Not sure what all you have in there, but it's expecting the first directory in the folder to be called a exactly. If there's two, then it checks the second (order unk)

[ImperatorStorm]

first folder is indeed exactly a.

Retrying on Windows worked perfectly, somehow
I'm gonna guess pk3DS doesn't like ext4 filesystems for some wierd reason
