NetherSX2 cannot open Games from Launchbox

[Dolfan058]

EDIT: The problem seems to be related to launchbox being set as the default home app. After a period of time, the scoped storage process seems to fail and it does not pass the scoped storage over. Switching to another launcher seems to solve this. I'm at a loss but sharing what I'm experiencing.

Running into an issue where no matter what I do, I cannot get games to open in NetherSX2 (PS2 emulator based on AetherSX2) when selected in Launchbox. I have followed steps on here about making sure there's a games folder scanned in NetherSX2 and confirmed games when run in the app work perfectly fine.

 

The games are stored on an SD card and when I look at the file paths, I see they are captured differently in NetherSX2 versus Launchbox (Nether uses things like percent signs to capture spaces, etc).

 

Could this be the source of the issue? I've shared screenshots to help illustrate. 

 

Troubleshooting steps I've taken:

- tried setting scoped storage (I get an error in Launchbox saying this platform does not allow for scoped storage)

- confirm if games open directly in NetherSX2 (they do open fine)

- deleted and readded the games folder in netherSX2

- tried completely removing the games folder in NetherSX2 and not reading the folder

- deleted and reinstalled NetherSX2

- deleted and reinstalled the platform in Launchbox

- rebooted device
