Firecube 3rd gen import

[Henshinzhu]

Greetings, I wanted to take the time to come here and ask since I couldnt find any answers. I recently acquired a 3rd gen firecube and loaded the games with no issues from usb. My problem entirely is that regardless of copying the android/data/com.unbrokensoftware.launchbox to the root of the usb drive and exporting as well the Launchbox at the root folder from the export process, still, I cannot get it to read the artwork off it. I can download the artwork no issues to internal but with about 11gb from stock i cant be dreaming too far as I am trying to maximize the potential. Obviously, As I am attempting to utilize the function to relocate to another folder, it does mention that i do not have the permissions required in order to carry on with the new folder assignment.

 

Has anyone any clue how I may fix this?

I can only tell you what is working for me and see if it will work for you as well. I have a 2nd gen Fire TV Cube which has the same Fire TV OS7 as the 3rd gen based on Android 9, and I am using Launchbox with the 32-bit version of RetroArch side-loaded, (Fire OS7 can't take 64-bit apps and you need to change the default RetroArch to the 32-bit version for every system added). I'm using it with a 64GB Sandisk USB drive (with an OTG cable) with no problem. I copied the data folder for Launchbox from its default location to /storage/(USB drive number)/Android/data/com.unbrokensoftware.launchbox using X-Plorer. I later deleted the default data folder for Launchbox off the internal drive and it continued to work fine. (The usb drive must be formatted in Fat 32 on the Fire TV Cube for external use only. Formatting it for internal use causes problems using the current Fire TV OS7. The USB drive kept randomly disconnecting, and apps moved to the USB drive could not longer be found. You also won't be able to see the USB drive in X-Plorer if you format it as internal.) Since we are using the same Fire TV OS, it might just be you are choosing the wrong location to move the data folder to where you don't have permission to access it. The one I chose above is working for me. So I have /storage/(USB drive number)/Android/data/com.unbrokensoftware.launchbox/LaunchBox(All data and images). Both RetroArch and LaunchBox are running from internal storage with about 30GB from RetroArch data, images and games on the USB drive and 6.2GB of data and images from LaunchBox on the USB drive. I still have over 4GB of space on the internal drive left for apps, (had my cube for well over a year) and over 20GB left on the USB. I have tons of everything Nintendo 64 and lower, but only have a few arcade and Playstation games since they take up so much space. You can get more advice on how and where to move the data folder just by doing a search for "launchbox move data folder". Hope that helps.
