eXoDOS directory not recognized

[aXeHndl]

I am trying to use eXoDOSConverter 0.9.6 to convert eXoDOS v6 to RetroPie. I moved a fresh copy of eXoDOS to an external drive and ran setup.bat. When I run the gui in either Windows or on the Pi, I get a message that says the directory does not exist or it’s not a valid eXoDOS directory. The directory is there full of zip files and there is a !dos subdirectory. What am I doing wrong?

If the zip files are still there, the setup.bat didn't work all the way

Perhaps the install process has changed. The Setup.bat appears to run without error. When I run Lauchbox from the drive’s root directory, it displays 7000+ titles. When I select one, I am asked if I want to install it. Only if I select Y does it create an unzipped folder in eXo/eXoDOS. Even with four games “installed” in this manner, I still get the missing/invalid directory message. Should I unzip all of the game folders? Would it be help to send a copy of the Setup.bat I’m using?

No I thought you meant the big zips at the root of the exodosfolder. Can you include a screen cap ? most likely you are not selecting the root of the exodos folder

Will this screen capture work? Also, thanks for looking into this.

It seems you forgot to include the screen capture

Strange. It was on my sent email. Here is another try.On Feb 22, 2024, at 3:30 PM, Voljega @.***> wrote: It seems you forgot to include the screen capture

So as I said your issue here is you should select the root of the collection, not the eXo\eXoDOS folder ... In your case this would be H: although it would be better I guess if the root of the collection was at least in a directory, but try with H:

[aXeHndl]

Thank, that worked. Also, thank you for being patient with a new user. Now I’m trying to figure out RetroPie. I’ve read that placing a period before the directory name hides it from the front end, so I don’t see subdirectories. Is there an option in eXoDOS converter to automatically do that or is there a better way to accomplish the same thing? On Feb 23, 2024, at 1:54 AM, Voljega @.***> wrote: So as I said your issue here is you should select the root of the collection, not the eXo\eXoDOS folder ...

I can't say that the retropie conversion is well tested in any wat, there is an issue for it with many fix to do but I haven't been around it.

Can't say I know much about it either, but on a personal.not it seems the newer distributions like batocera are much more easier to use
