Apparently somehow I mistakenly added that g to the code in beta 8. Apologies. Glad you helped us catch this before the official release. No problem and I'm glad I could help. Whatever we could do to take some pressure off of you guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oyehia Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 18 hours ago, Jason Carr said: Network drives are still broken in Nvidia's firmware. So we're waiting on an update from Nvidia for that. Per external storage, if I remember correctly there were two different ways to format external storage for the Shield. It was kind of a terrible design. It's possible that one of the two ways are still broken with their hotfix. Well Nvidia just released an update to their firmware 9.0, which is 9.01 and unfortunately the bug is not fixed however it works fine in the Xplore app, am i missing something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Carr Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share Posted February 15, 2022 The 1.0 official release is out now with a couple fixes for some issues with beta 8, including the "Clear Logog" issue above. Hopefully the official release fares well for everyone. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please see the details in this topic (last couple of posts): Also, the X-Plore File Manager app only allows me to browse and see the internal storage and the SD card, and not the attached USB Drive or any network drives. So as far as I can tell, it's behaving exactly the same as FX (my other file manager) and LaunchBox. Is there some trick to accessing USB and network drives in X-Plore?

You meant Device Preferences. Yes, my network drives are mounted in Device Preferences > Storage on the Shield. But they still don't show up in X-Plore, nor any other app on the Shield. But if you know something that I don't, let me know. Where are your network drives showing up in X-Plore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So looks like another Nvidia bug. But that's good, apparently there is somehow a way to access the network shares, even if it is still buggy with the hotfixes. I will look into that. However, I still can't access my USB drive from X-Plore or any other app on the Shield. You don't happen to be able to access a USB drive with it, do you?

I guess I'll just assume it's still broken in the latest Nvidia hotfix. Hopefully I can figure out what kind of hack X-Plore is using (lol) to get access to those network drives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mookdog Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I think the issue is when u select to import roms it doesnt let u go back far enough to let u select your network storage. Right now it will only show the internal storage at /storage/emulated/0 you need to be able to drop back to the parent directory of /storage/ which Launchbox doesnt do Mook 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

File managers have that ability because Google allow it, Retroarch and Launchbox don't. If you root your device and install magisk, you can choose to grant su permissions to apps yourself.
