Do ISO's need to be in a specific folder on the SD card?

Post#1 » Sun May 01, 2016 1:11 pm

Dreamshell loads perfectly and I can navigate just fine... I can see the ISO's in the File Manager but the ISO loader doesn't see them... do they need to be in a specific folder? If so, which one?

Thank you,
Roger

Well, it looks as though they need to be in the Apps folder, then in the ISO Loader folder. You can't scroll down so I need to create A-L and M-Z sub-folders to eliminate this problem so that all ISO's are visible... all's well now.

Thank you,
Roger

ISO's do not need to be in specific folders for the loader to read them and there is no need to put them in alphabetized folders unless you have a lot of stuff and need it to be organized like ROMs for an emulator.

To scroll down in the ISO loader hold X and push down on the joystick. I thought it wasn't recognizing some of my files either until I figured out how to scroll down successfully. Hope this helps.

Awesome info... I hadn't tried that "hold X and push down" move for scrolling...

Thank you,
Roger
