Game only opens when I delete romfs_metadata.bin

[TheMemester]

I made a mod for Metroid Dread that edits a single file in romfs (config.ini). For some reason, the game does not open each time until I go into the contents/titleid folder and delete the romfs_metadata.bin file. This holds true whether or not the contents/titleid/romfs/config.ini file is there or not — the game will not boot if there is a romfs_metadata.bin file present, and will boot if there is not one. When the game does boot when the config.ini file is there, the mod works as expected. It's really annoying to have to ftp into my switch to delete the file every time I play the game, so I'm wondering what can be done about this. Thanks!

That file is a"caché" of the romfs files. So if you are modifying the contents folder of a title, better start from scratch and delete all files including romfs_metadata.bin

Sorry, let me be more specific — if I delete the romfs_metadata.bin, it opens, and makes a new romfs_metadata.bin, *and then won't open again.* With no modification of the romfs folder, I still have to delete the file every single time I open the game.

if the second time you open the game, you press and keep pressed "L" button while load, what error you get?
