Mac is not the problem, I am using Mac, these problems have never happened to me.

Yeah I've had no issues but I've had other things where the permissions of the folder weren't set correctly from my Mac so I've had to manually set them myself. Was just trying to rule this out, seems he's using Windows anyway!

Alright, nothing seems to work, so returning it. I'll spend the extra cash to get an everdrive instead. I need something that actually works.

EZ-Flash Omega actually works fine here

I still can't get it to read roms that are inside folders. It reads them fine when on the root of the SD card, but it's a hassle scrolling through all the roms that way. If there were some sort of solution I haven't tried already, I'd give it a go, but it doesn't appear that there is.

If the roms can not be showed in the file browser of EZ-OMEGA but can be showed on windows file explorer.
That could be the file attributes are incorrect,
uncheck readonly. check Archive. apply to all the files and folders and their children.

Another possible problem is that the total number of characters in the file name + all directory names exceeds 254 letters

for example:

E:\GBA\A-Z\A\A very long file name.gba

from GBA to name are not more than 254 letters.

I just came across this post and reviving it (hopefully). I'm running into the exact same issue and have tried all of the suggestions. None of the roms are "Ready Only" = False and "Files Ready for Archiving" = True.

The Rom files are recognized in the Root, but once I paste the files into a folder, the folders do not show up.

I created a folder named "Test1" and "Test2".
"Test1" is empty.
"Test2" I put in a rom.
In Root, I put in the same rom.

Test1 folder shows up.
Test2 folder does not.
Rom is playable from root (and the correct thumbnail works too).

Next, I deleted the rom from "Test2" folder, and checked to see if it shows up. "Test2" folder doesn't show up even though the rom is no longer inside. What's weird, is that there is ~100bytes of data still in "Test2" after the rom was deleted. I don't know what data is still in that folder, because it's empty.

I have no idea what I can do to make roms appear in the folder.

Awesome! That did the trick,

Weird that it requires cmd prompts to correct the attributes.

BTW: for anyone else coming across this problem, here's a tip:
- Your folder names cannot have spaces in them otherwise the command prompt won't run.
