[help please] Delta not Importing more ROMs #138

Open Lion4K opened 3 years ago

Lion4K commented 3 years ago

I've sideloaded Delta 1.3 with eSign with a proper certificate and all, plays games as it should, it restored all the ROMs I've added while having it installed with altstore, but it doesn't add more ROMs. Does it have something to do with it being sideloaded with other methods than altstore?

Thanks in advance!

What happens when you hit the + button to add a ROM? Does the file picker come up but you can't select a rom?

Exactly what is happening.

I click the +, choose "files" navigate to where it's saved (doesn't matter if it's the downloads folder or a cloud storage) and clicking on the ROM file doesn't result in anything.

Also just clicking the file and trying to open with delta also doesn't work.

But. I've found a solution.

If on files.app I navigate to the rom file, copy it to delta's folder's root and paste it there, then clicking the + button and choosing "iTunes" it imports the ROM file and it works.

This is exactly what I experience in the current build. Delta 1.3.1 and Delta Beta 1.4b1 both don't let you import games or save files from the iOS Files app. I can only import by drag and drop to the phone via cable and then using import from iTunes option in Delta (but that only works for ROMs not game saves).

Edit: To clarify, the solution from Lion4K above is effectively the same method I'm using and it does work, but not for game saves. The only option available for Game Saves that I can see is the file picker and you can't select anything.

I'm gonna dive much deeper into this since I've noticed all kinds of weird bugs with the File Chooser / File Associations. Will update this issue when I figure it out.
