Cannot get Mame titles to scan
I have a Simpsons arcade1up running Retroarch and dig. It is working for stuff like snes.
I am trying to get Mame working and failing.
I downloaded the Mame 2003 plus romset and the XML file to an as card. I put the xml file in the folder with the roms which are .zip files.
if I go to Retroarch I can load individual games. However I cannot seem to get Dig to find them. I tried pointing to the folder using a manual scan but nothing seems to happen.
possibly related the wrench icon seems stuck at scanning 600+ folders and I can’t abort it. This was the case before I added the Mame files.
any ideas?

Sometimes it takes a while for the roms to start appearing after a big file scan. Leave it for a while and hopefully they should start appearing.

https://digdroid.com/forums/discussion/119566/cannot-get-mame-titles-to-scanHi, from experience Dig struggles to scan that many folders and would bog down to a crawl (I weirdly had 1,000+ .dsk speccy roms in each individual folder, not good!).
Highly recommend to minimise this type of thing and only add one System at a time and make sure the wrench dissappears before adding more.
Even doing that won't fix it. DIG's scanning is entirely unreliable :(

I had to uninstall and reinstall and it finally worked
