Wii U Does Not Auto Import New Roms

[The Papaw]

Have Wi U roms on mapped SMB share and they are not auto importing new roms. This was true with v20 as well as with current v21. Running manual scan works in both versions. Just reporting.

Thanks for the report here. I've just testing this on 13.21 and WiiU roms do appear to import correctly, even with the games directory set to a location outside of the LaunchBox directory.

May I confirm: 

- What file format are you WiiU games?

- That Y: directory that you have listed for the WiiU games, are other platforms stored on that directory and do they auto-import properly?

Let me know and we'll see if we can figure out why this isn't working for you.

Yes about 40 other platforms

Right, and how do those platforms handle auto-imports? Is WiiU the only one that isn't auto-importing properly?

Not sure, but as far as I can tell, all others are doing auto fine.

Okay, it would be good to verify that for sure, since that will rule out any issues with files being in that specific Y: location.

As a test, can you also try using the .wad format (you can generate these from within Cemu), and see if that auto-imports correctly, as that will identify if the file format your using is somehow causing the issue

Let me know

Are you thinking about Wii & Dolphin concerning the .wad file format and converting?

Never seen anything about any conversions in cemu, or Wii U using that file format.

@AstroBob I found the issue, somehow my game path had gotten changed to a path to a single game. I am so sorry for wasting your time dude.

I've had that happen when for whatever reason I'd dragged/dropped a single game to import--it changed the path for the system to the path to that game.

I had thought that is what happened, but wasn't sure so I didn't say anything
