I had to do a fresh install of RetroX on a new drive.
I had the software create the "retrobox" folder automatically so I could add my roms into the given folders easier.
When I added my roms I could never get it to add the roms, I noticed if I moved the rom folders to a folder called "retrox" and did a Force Rescan, it would finally find the roms.
But only after putting them in a different named folder and only when doing a Force Rescan.
something seems to be up with this, I don't remember it being so finicky before, everytime I loaded the app it loaded any additional roms i thought.
not searching retrobox folder

Re: not searching retrobox folder
The initial versions of RetroX loaded the roms at each start, but many people complained that their roms disappeared... when they took off their drives. When I mean "many", I would say "a lot". So it was healthier for me to change the app to scan by user request and not automatically.

Re: not searching retrobox folder
That works for me, what about the app creating a “retrobox” folder but not searching it. But it does automatically search a “RetroX” folder that is manually created.
