After splitting an XCI the covers show like this on SX OS.

I had this same problem after switching to fat 32 with split .xci files. I also noticed it took more time to mount the game. Since you're using sx os emunand and fat32. Is booting emunand taking like 30 seconds? It's taking long for me but I haven't confirmed if it's my setup or something with fat32 sd emunand in general.

This happened to me in the early days of sx os but I found out it was because I wasn't ejecting the sd card from my pc before removing it. Hasn't happened since.

I always remove my microsd and hdds using the "remove safely" thing on windows

FAT32 right?
Had the exact same issue until I changed to exFAT, same files and everything,seemed to work for me. I can't explain why though
Yes fat32 although it also happens on an exfat HDD
As long as the xci is trimmed it will show these blank squares

There seems to be a bug in SX OS, that split card2 games don't show an image but only a white square.

I can only speculate about the underlying issue, my assumption is that card 2 games have the partition order changed so the partition with the game image is not in the first file anymore.

is is just a problem with the blank thumbnail? meaning do the games still load and the titles are shown when you put the cursor on the blank thumbnail?

Now that mention it, the names don't show up correctly either, it shows the path and filename instead
But yeah, the games load just fine

Seems that the sxos-menu has problems reading the logo partition of split games.

These games can be mounted and played without problems.

Dunno if someone reported that issue to TX.
It should be easy to fix.

I pinged @garyopa in my thread, but maybe a second time helps :)

Great, thanks!

A bit Off-Topic, but:

Does anyone know if anywhere some kind of feature-request-thread /or -form exists?

The SX OS xci-launcher is great. But i think it needs better view-modes.

Especially with USB-drives, the collection could get rather big.
But the menu doesn't sort the entries.

An alphabetically ordered list view would be much better.
With icon-caching on SD for faster loading...

Agreed. There should definitely be multiple layouts to cycle through. Like 5x5 grids or something.

I have 100+ games on my HDD and one tile at a time is annoying to navigate

I have resolved this problem using NSC_BUILDER (manual mode) :
double click the batch (NSCB.bat)
press 2 then [ENTER]
then drag your rom backup (xci or nsp) over the window and press [ENTER]
press 2 then [ENTER]
then drag a nsp or nca file over the window (it can be your rom backup or an update) then press [ENTER]
Finally press 1 and [ENTER]

With this method you can trimm or split your freshly builded rom wihtout problem

I already reported the error to TX one week ago, hope it get‘s fixed soon.
For now i‘m back at exFAT there everything works.
The Error with the white icon and no Name displayed does only occur for card2 games that has been splitted.
