Anyway to combat this..

I had all my games listed nicely and mostly working fine. Duplicates hidden and box covers showing.

However yesterday I had an issue with my hdd and it disconnected randomly. When it reconnected it gave it a slightly different name (added an x).

Now I either have everything duplicated because the rom paths now show both the old and new drive name, or i have no roms showing in a console.

Is there any easy solution to this? A file I could edit somewhere?

    I didn't know drives could change names. I'll have to think about what to do about that.

    Yeah I had no idea myself.

    It's probably a rare thing caused by whatever the issue was that caused my drive to disconnect in the first place so might not be worth you bothering with.

    This drive name changing is causing me hassle. Not sure why it keeps happening but I changed all my file paths to have the x in and started scanning again but then it reverted back to not having the x in and I have to start all over again.

    Until I find a way to deal with this you can leave scans for both names in place. The latest beta should do a better job of checking which folders are actually present.

    Wish I did that now.


    Where can I get the beta to try?

    Thanks. Messed up big time. Tried to set my hdd as extended storage but then my TV wouldnt recognise it. So now have to copy all my game files again.

    Luckily I backed up the folders with all the downloaded images.

    The drive has got a really long name this time. I'm not sure how android file systems work but can the path not just be external storage or does it have to be a drive name?

    Arrrrrrghhhh.

    Everything has been working fine. Left my drive on while I went to work go download some covers.

    Came home and all my games had vanished. Checked the drive and it added a z to the start of the drive name.

    Its strange because my TV sees my drive and with the name Android which is what I named it when I formatted it. However Dig and all my other apps give it a different name.
