Any help here guys? Mostly looking to swap SegaCD games.

@Dominus

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.

[mediamogul]

@edmaul69

Was it just the last update that caused this?

[mediamogul]

@edmaul69

What version of RetroArch are you using?

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

Edit:

Mine is:

RetroArch: Frontend for libretro -- v1.5.0 -- 51581e1 --
Compiler: GCC (4.9.2) 32-bitBuilt: Mar 19 2017

[edmaul69]

@mediamogul mine is the exact same as yours.

[Dominus]

@mediamogul Yep I get the same version as well.

[mediamogul]

@edmaul69, @Dominus

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.

[edmaul69]

@mediamogul awesome! Please let us know.

[mediamogul]

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.

[edmaul69]

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

[mediamogul]

@edmaul69

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"

Edit:

Do you mean where it is setup to automatically look for the roms?

yes indeed.

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

[mediamogul]

@edmaul69

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

[edmaul69]

@mediamogul not sure. Im just glad it works.

[edmaul69]

@mediamogul i did however point it directly to my secacd folder since i put this in the /segacd/retroarch.cfg

[mediamogul]

@edmaul69

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?

[edmaul69]

@mediamogul i dont use it for psx. I have my bumpers and x button mapped to disc prev, disc next and open/close tray. I use pbp files though. Not sure if it works with bin/cue files. This way works with famicom disk system as well.

@edmaul69

This way works with famicom disk system as well.

Ah, good to know.
