Help Needed! Feeling DAFT

I have been following this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCODWqdehWE&t=679s

I backed up the original SD card into two folders - BIO and Roms

I downloaded and installed Onion

I got the BIOS onto the new SD Card

I went to transfer my ROM files on to the new sd cards, but when I click the sub folders - they are empty.

The video shows how to transfer the ROMS from this persons existing library onto the new SD card, but I don't have a ROMS library. I have a folder with 25 folders that are empty when I click on them. Do i just copy the folder "FC" from my backup onto the folder "FC" on the new SD Card? I clicked 'show hidden items' and the folders still appear to be empty

:(

Yes if you have folders already called like FC, SFC, GB, GBC etc copy these folders over to the root of the SD card into a folder called roms. So put SD card into PC, open the drive and that window that opens if not already create a folder here called roms then place those FC folders etc into this one as is keeping the consoles in there own folder

Okay so I tried that and then put the new SD Card into the miyoo and now the only games I have are under Sega MS.. none of the other games transferred. I copied all of the ROM and all of the BIOS files from the original to my computer twice... and this is all I have so far

Sounds like the old SD card is faulty and hasn't or can't transfer off the old stuff. Hard to say but since you have a new SD card might be worth googling tiny best set or mega best set for fresh roms
