Hacking Question SX OS v1.2 bug

[KarmaBae]

is this type of error known? happened when i updated to sx os v1.2. every backup file has now doubled in icon space. but the extra files are only visible in sx os, and cant be seen in file browser. i even unhid invisible files. nothing.

i'm using exfat formant with a 5.1 switch

forgive if this has already been addressed. can't find any info.

I have the same problem. They show in the library as white boxes. Don’t know how to fix that. But every game works fine.

Seems like this problem doesn't affect me. Mine looks just as before after updating to SX OS 1.2.

Did you use the microSD card with a Mac? That usually happens when the microSD is formatted with a Mac computer. Dunno why...

 

[leerpsp]

I don't have the problem ether. did you look in your memory card to make sere you guys don't have an extra file causing that?

 

[Soiidus]

Those files are indexing files for file searching on your computer (Mac OSX usually)

That's why there's two, the file and the index record to tell your mac that that file exists

so it was extra files on the card like i was thinking then so they can remove the extra files and be good.

I use it my Mac to transfer the games. Any way to delete those index records?

Run this command in terminal:

'mount'

That will show you what your path to your sd card is

Then run:
dot_clean /Volumes/sdcard

replcae sdcard with the volume name

I had the same problem and reported it to team xecuter.

As it has been said, they are macOS files and I deleted it with FileZilla.

I didn’t know the command “dot_clean”

They said they will fix this in the next release

And yeah, it's only because of Mac OSX

for some reason the dot clean command did not work. maybe because i have to use a dongle to use sd cards (thanks apple). but the filezilla worked great. thanks

This happens only with macOS which is very odd...

 

[gamesquest1]

yeah gateway had a similar issue, iirc gateway just made their loader filter files starting with ._, I assume a fix will come and do the same with TX OS

 

[Deleted User]

Yep. As mentioned in a few posts here already, these are Mac metadata files. I've ran into them being issues on lots of my projects. You can remove them by using the "dot_clean" terminal command that ships with Mac since OS X 10.5. Using terminal, CD into the directory of your games, and run "dot_clean -n ." . Though this should work just fine, I'd only recommend using terminal if you feel comfortable. It's not my fault if something goes awry.

Just open terminal, cd into the microSD and run rm ._*

 

[Wiiunator]

as mentioned above or delete every ._files from a PC, or show hidden files in OSX and delete those

 

[KongsNutz]

I get this with Incredibles LEGO, every other icon only shows once and they are fine, the game runs fine but has a white icon. I could not find any ._ files anywhere on the SD card. (Show hidden files) and i've never used a MAC.
The file name in SXOS also doesn't begin with ._
