biffwebster Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Using an OTG setup with a flash drive for roms does not work with the LB Android APK. Parsing of roms gives a message saying that the SD card and internal storage have no roms to scan. If you try to manually add roms the LB browser cannot find the external storage. I exported my romset from Windows version and put on a flash drive when I attempted this. The program loads fine on Firestick and it can scan internally saved roms just fine, but with the small space on these Amazon machines, the ideal way would be to parse games off of a flash drive. Unless I did something wrong with regard to how I installed LB's APK or exported my roms from W10, it appears that the program is limited to just using internal or SD storage. If anyone has any advice, I'd appreciate it, if not I think I just have to wait for an update to LB on Android. Either way, it is a marvelous program and I am super thankful for the devs. Proud to have donated for Big Box! Sidenote...I installed LB APK onto the Firestick via Total Commander file manager app off of a USB flash drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use a app to transfer it from another device, but that device will also need to be 32bit as that is what the fire sticks are.

azajali43 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Process of connecting USB flash storage device to your android phone: First connect USB OTG cable into your Android phone. And then connect USB flash storage device to female connector of OTG cable. And the last thing is, file explorer on your phone should automatically pop up.

Bockz69 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I have gotten launchbox on firestick and have all my retroarch with my roms. But launchbox will see retroarch but not the cores. But it does work with PPSSPP stand alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
