Hi, sorry to bother you. I upgraded my SD card to Onion V3 and I don't have any games in the emulators, how can I get all the games back? Thanks ; )

hey make sure all your roms are placed in the correct folders on the SD card usually in the ROMS folder

so just checking, all the other folders are empty? except for ATARI and FC? do these games show up in the atari and FC emulator section on consoles?

Nope, dont showing up. All empty.

I have .zip files in: Arcade, atari2600, atari7800, fc, gb, gba (those ones arent .rar), mame2003, mame2010, md, ms, neogeo, ngp, pce (extension .pce), ps, sfc, wsc.

cps1, cps2 and cps3 (recently copied from arcade/cps1, etc...

No games showed

espectrunk commented 2 years ago

cps1, 2 and 3 yes, right now display games

Yahcob commented 2 years ago

i know it may seem strange but have you tried pressing the menu button in the console menu and refreshing the rom list?

if that doesnt work all i can think of is to check the config files within the EMU folder within each emulator theres a recognised extension part should look like "extlist":"zip" if not try adding one?

Copy/back up your ROMs, BIOSes and Apps to your PC, then go to RetroArch/.retroarch/ and copy over saves and states as well. Then just format your sdcard as FAT32 and extract the latest Onion onto it, like you did with the first install.

When you've set everything up, you can re-copy all the files back, but keep the new folder structure (if it's different) - e.g. manually copy over games if now the folder is called FC instead of fc.

Hello again, im sorry bother.

I have reinstalled ONIONV3 on a new Micro SD, from scratch without any problem. Now I'm moving .rar of games to their folders, but many of them I don't know where they go. How can I recognize where to put each game?

For example, on the old system inside "arcade/" I had other folders called "shot", "pgm". The .rar games inside where should I move them?

Thanks in advance ;D

Good morning! I have finally been able to move the games to each folder. Although I lost all the GBC games ;(

In V3 they have implemented many new emulators, but no games? Where can I get all the games from the new emulators?

Have a nice day!

GBC games should be in the GBC folder, just like before. If you did put them there, try refreshing the game list (I think it's MENU while in the main menu, then there should be an option to refresh).

In V3 they have implemented many new emulators, but no games? Where can I get all the games from the new emulators?

Onion doesn't distribute games, since that would be illegal. You'll have to find the games on your own, but it's not hard if you do a bit of searching on the internet.
