Thank God for this thread. I just bought a brand new Xbox Series S from Best Buy yesterday and waited until today for a 16TB WD MyBook USB 3.0 External HDD and 1TB Seagate Xbox Expansion Card. I have an easy way around emulators now that I've had my experience for a long time with PC and then just very recently started using retroarch for the very first time but on Android and its simpler and I understand PC is more compatible and offers much more out of using it for emulation such as storage and other hardware components etc. Anyway, I have had this issue now soon as I began to attempt to install the 1st of like high 20ish+ consoles on retroarch on the xbox series S but I cant see any of my folders I put from my PC to my USB drive in E: in retroarch. Just like you guys, the exact same thing. D: is the same too. I just bought my Xbox yesterday so I never used it with S: as internal storage but it is D: for me just like you guys. I am using the latest version of retroarch and following a super simple guide from somebody's youtube channel. If anybody ever knows how to resolve this ISSUE please post some ideas. I know this, in Android to read roms from my 1TB microSD card in my phone I had to use an app called QuickEdit to modify 1 line of text in the retroarch config file.. called rgui_browser and point my folder path for the microSD card and thats how you do it for Android. So I'm having a feeling about the Xbox as well, I have already successfully opened my retroarch config file on Windows 11 with notepad but I am not too sure what I should type as I have never previously owned any Xbox console ever in my life. You need to change the word "default" where rgui_browser is located and type the location of the E: whatever the command may need to be typed as (keeping the quotation marks), I don't know what to try but that is an idea but it might not mean anything because the Xbox can naturally detect the USB drive in retroarch because when its unplugged there is no E: shown in the directory list in retroarch then, but when its plugged in then theres E: showing however once you open it to access your rom folders to scan to make the playlists.. it just does not show anything except parent directory and i know there are like 20 folders in the root of the USB drive at the moment.. so whats going on? Can someone with higher power please contact a retroarch dev or something or make a big deal out of this so we can get things back to normal and be happy with what we have invested our nearly 2000$ CAD into. I plan on selling this damn thing I need an occupation so this is it, I just mine crypto and download media and whatever i need if i can. I have the whole library of every rom/iso except for switch because im just waiting for it to be discontinued and then wait for more games to be fully uploaded, you know.. Someone do something about this, seriously.. the way I see it, without retroarch having the ability to no longer read roms from the E:xternal storage it makes the Xbox Series S useless unless you want to use standalone emulators but a noob wouldnt know, they require retroarch, just saying, not talking about me im saying for selling purposes.. if you want to sell your device with emulation preloaded on it, retroarch is the way to go but with this issue its pointless to buy an xbox Series S unless you do what I said just prior which is to use standalone emulators and hope or to play your xbox titles in lower resolution than 4K etc. so.. RetroArch devs if you see your users' problem that who knows how many are dealing with right now.. please do something to address this issue once and for all and put an end to emulation downtime. theres no way we can deal with always copying over big iso's to the ugly internal storage of 512gb. I even put in the 1TB expansion but I dont know which drive letter it is in retroarch cause its empty, I could put a folder or file on it and see.. even with the new 2TB expansion thats nowhere close. Basically what I have on my phone I will have my xbox? What I have on my PC.. is massive. like Total collection of all available. I need 16TB to use my Xbox Series S, my PS2 USA iso collection completely fills up 4TB up to the max but just not big enough to exceed the max capacity usable out of the 4TB. I dont know if Xbox og and 360 are able to be emulated on the Series S but my xbox 360 collection of Region Free is like a little over 8TB lol. So resulting in me requiring external USB storage to read my roms and isos from while I emulate on retroarch but now it aint possible and whats going to become of this from this moment going forward.......please comment if you have the same issue and want help from god knows where. Something GOOD must be done to rectify and correct this and put the issue to rest and hope nothing like this ever happens again. Thanks. Peace.
