PS1 change disk problem

@mediamogul awesome! Please let us know.

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?

@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.

@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

@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.

@mediamogul i edited my individual controller configs to add these options. That way no matter which controller i used, they had the options.

I've added the rgui_browser_directory to the "all" config file and now I can append the psx disks manually. It is a strange one though, something may have changed. Perhaps this should be set by default in future... Anyway, many thanks for the help on this.

Thanks too @edmaul69 @Dominus and @kbronctjr for your inputs.

I was thinking the same thing. It's a weird issue for sure. Glad the setting worked.

I'll have to try that out later tonight! Thanks for the help @mediamogul! And everyone else too!

Hi all. Just adding to this thread to mention that I was also having an issue where, when attempting to manually append a disc in Retroarch, no ROMs were appearing in my PSX ROMs folder. The above solution worked for me. This is the step-by-step for the technologically challenged (like me):

Using your computer, navigate to the "configs" folder in your RetroPie drive
Go to the folder of the emulator for which your having an issue (in my case, "psx")
Edit the retroarch.cfg file by right clicking it and choosing to open it in some kind of text editing program
Add this line to that text file, substituting the 'psx' part for the relevant system in your case:

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

Save the file
Restart your Rasberry Pi

When you go to append a disc, you should now see all of your ROM files.
