DBI and FW 8.0+

[viper3344]

Hey all! The other thread was hijacked so I wanted to give this topic its own thread.

There are reports of DBI not working with FW 18+ games.

I am using DBI 616 and on FW 18.0.1 and every single FW 18.0 game installs and works perfectly. I am able to go into DBI and see all their info and everything.

What is broken about DBI?

Your firmware is outdated if you are on firmware 8.0

If you mean 18, not 8, then for example try to mount game content via MTP

Yes... my bad. Of course 18, not 8

What do you mean mount game content via MTP?

@duckbill007 Yes, please clarify what you are referring to. I also tried opening the info for a few 18.0.1 titles becasue you had stated elsewhere that is broken. The info opened fine for all that I tried. Not sure why you say that is broken. But again, please explain "mount game content via MTP" so others can test. Thanks.

Seems like many are using DBI without knowing its various other functions.
But well, at least it sounds like game installation is fine for now.
Mounting game content can be useful, but it's not crucial for me.

How would one "mount"? I mean it seems that yeah... installing works fine so 90% of users are good. Thanks all!

I looked at the DBI documentation and found it. I imagine it's purpose is to browse/extract/modify the contents of installed titles via MTP and it did appear to be broken on the 18.0.1 game I tried. It makes the attempt but fails without any error message that I can see or find.

Mounting the content of installed titles via MTP
Go to "Browse installed applications" -> Choose apps you need to mount with (X) -> Press (+) -> "Expose contents via MTP"

As far as the DBI game info screen being broken. Again, it seems to work fine for me on 18.0.1 games too.

how about you work with an up to date version of DBI for a start...

I am personally using 658. However, the things that are broken with FW 18 are still broken in the latest release. How about you catch up before insinuating otherwise?

Yeah, you're right that's what the author said: https://gbatemp.net/threads/is-there-any-point-upgrading-to-18-0.656325/post-10429880
