      @edmaul69 Yeah but will that work in SegaCD? Next disc doesn't always work with all games.

              When going to append disk image, it doesn't show any files in any folders.

              I just tested this with SegaCD and it shows the files and appends discs for me.

                @mediamogul im on retropie 4.2.2 and it shows absolutely 0 files to append. No files show up. Only folders.

                  Was it just the last update that caused this?

                    What version of RetroArch are you using?

                    /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch --version
                    

                    Edit:

                    Mine is:

                          I think I might know what the issue is and perhaps even have a temporary fix, but I'll have to test it a bit later today.

                              Well, I thought me being able to append discs might have something to do with the Netplay fix I have on my setup, but I disabled it and I'm still able to browse, select and append discs regardless. The only other thing off the top of my head that I can think of is that I have the content directory path pointed to my ROMs folder, so that might be worth trying.

                                @mediamogul what do you meant content directory path? Do you mean where it is setup to automatically look for the roms?

                                  I'm almost certain it wouldn't make a difference here, but it's the following setting in /opt/retroarch/configs/all/retroarch.cfg.

                                  rgui_browser_directory = "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms"

                                  yes indeed.

                                    @Dominus @mediamogul this was the fix. I put this in my segacd/retroarch.cfg and it works. It shows up now.

                                      Ha! Too funny. I wonder why that even matters?

                                            I've thought about doing the same thing for just the systems that support disc swapping. I guess that's limited to segacd and psx, or are there any others?
