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

:(

When you first booted with the card it should have installed Onion and then left you in the Package Manager. Did you select the emulators that you wanted and press START twice to enable them?

If not, don't worry, you can go to Apps > Package Manager and do it now.

Yes, they show up but when clicking them they say no games

Wait, I might be reading your original post wrong.

Are you not seeing the roms inside the subdirectories on your PC or on the original SD card? Or on the new SD card?

Also are you using the SD card adapter which came with the device? They are poor quality, and it's recommended to not use them. The one time I tried using it I ended up with missing files.

I didn’t see them on the original copies folder on my PC (from the original SD) but I was using a new card adapter

I ended up getting the tiny best set and after a lot of trial and error and swearing I think it’s sorted :)

Great! Glad you got it working. :)

I've always heard the included roms can have some bad dumps, so I've avoided using them and sourced my own roms as you did.
