My games organized into folders on the Wii U menu are gone after updating Aroma?

This is after using aroma previously and just updating to the newest version.

Is this normal?

How can I prevent this next time?

I had them nicely organized :-(

Yeah that's normal, if you go back to Tiramisu (and I guess Haxchi too) your old folders should still be there, so I guess Aroma uses a different file structure.

Oh, nevermind then, I just noticed there was an update 3 hours ago, maybe something was changed that deleted your configuration, I haven't used my console in the last couple of weeks, I'll update and let you know if my folders or any other stuff gets deleted or changed.

Ok I just updated to the latest version of Aroma and all my folders are intact, so my guess is that it's something related to your hard drive. I remember one time I connected my HDD using the Y cable but only connected one port, so it wasn't getting enough power as it didn't even display any game. I turned the console off and then back on and now the games did appear but all my folders had been deleted.

    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
